    How To Be An Internet Whore
    Fri, 8 Sep 2006 09:24:00 GMT

    This is the podcast I've wanted to record ever since I started whorecast, a how-to on doing Internet-based sex work, covering the law, privacy, security, and the market. Now that I'm basically retired, I decided to open my private del.icio.us resources, turned off my Tor, and got down with the basics (and not-so-basics) of starting to advertise yourself as a sex worker on the web. This is me trying to mind the gap between PGP and GFE (not that you should ever, ever use that last one anywhere).

    An Orgy of Meta

    WHORECAST 012
    An Orgy of Meta

    My partner, J, joins me to share his commentary on my listener mailbag -- the best (and craziest) of the year's email -- expounding over port and a smoke on the very first "whorecast," lazy overusage of the word "whore," the viciously awesome force of third wave feminists, efforts to find new words for polyamory, how to really be a good boyfriend to a stripper, the continuing question of how "fake" sex workers are on the job, and even tells us his favorite podcasts, all on this year-end self-referential orgy of meta.

    Podcasts cited: Rope Weekly, Bedroom Radio, Podnography, Fox and the City, Democracy Now, Yeast Radio, (((noisydaughter))), Effects Corner Podcast. Blogs: TouchYourself.org. Film J couldn't remember the name of: Cradle Will Rock.

    WHORECAST 011
    The Virtues of "Fake" Women


    Recorded more-or-less live from my last shift at the peep show, talking strippers and porn performers and the naked truth therein. A customer agrees to be podcasted! Clips played from Bedroom Radio and some pseudo-stripper-lovin' dude's podcast as he interviews a dancer. Righteous strip-und-drang, all in expensive lingerie.

    WHORECAST 009
    And God Is A Celebrity Like Myself

    ... in a sweet little shoutout to Soccergirl, with whom I'm so glad to share the title of First Naked Podcaster.

    Listen in now to And God Is A Celebrity Like Myself, both the name of whorecast 009 and the title of the piece I read (and discuss the delicately controversial history of).

    Sex, Power, Money, God (whoresutra)
    Tue, 9 Aug 2005 21:14:00 GMT Author: Melissa Gira
    WHORECAST 008
    Sex, Power, Money, God (whoresutra)

    The meat of this podcast is a piece I keep changing the name of: Whoresutra, Doing and Undoing a Sacred Whore, Unruly Meditations on a Sacred Whore, etc. I also keep swapping out the sutras therein. These four cover whoring with your lover, the dot-bomb Tantra implosion, whores and the war on terror, and finding goddess in a leather sling. Strap-on's & "sacred spots" really figure in this one, for some reason. Seems to be one of the common denominators in all the sex work I've done: more and more men -- more than some would assume -- really just want to have their legs spread and be "opened to the mystery within," ahem.

    Also, a smidge of commentary on the whole iTunes Music Store "porncast" phenom

    Featuring: Aphrodite's Hymen

    I lent my voice and a profile of a spiritual customer gone awry to this gorgeous piece by Aphrodite's Hymen, with gutsy, operatic vocals and found city sex sound filling the mix.

    A Cop and Two Whores

    An excerpt from our mock-takeover of KPFA, wherein a vice cop from a "large metropolitan California city" calls in to talk shop with us. The cop is not mock. Only our 2:30 in the morning tones is, at turns. (History, be kind.)

    "A Bloody Love Letter to America" (for woj)

    The world's first podcasted orgasm?
    Inspired by finding an old paper I had written, cut-up into pieces to slide up against Dsico's "Bumrush My Love" and what Manson described as "a glam rock Nuremberg rally" remix by Goldfrapp, wrapped around the hard middle of David Wojnarowicz's spoken word... give or take an orgasm, or two.

    "Audiotagging: The Pink List"

    In which I drew a pink bath and called up my favorite craigslist/ers/ postings from across the country a few nights before my birthday, searched on "whore" and read my favorites.

    Splish, cash.
