This week on Dangerous Makes, Kerri is joined by the brilliant Dr Kate Lister to delve into the dangerous and misunderstood history of sex work.

From occupational hazards to historical double standards, we’re lifting the sheets on a job where the risks were high, the protection was questionable, and the customer was definitely NOT always right.

Turns out, pleasure has always come at a price… and we’re not just talking money.

We also chat about Kate’s wonderful new book “FLICK!” and Kerri gets annoyed at the Victorians…again
