March. 2023: Hookers Army of LA, Queen of the 'Honest' Whores, Hookers Against Hardship

Introducing Radio AvA's March show! What a stunning lineup we have for you. Our monthly dose of whore history, featuring the tale of Veronica Franco, a Venetian poet, alleged witch and Queen of The ‘Honest’ Whores. 

Next, Zackie chats with Vanessa Carlisle, co-founder of Hookers Army of Los Angeles, about self-defence for and by sex workers. 

Vanessa and Zackie probe the problems of mainstream self-defence courses, explore the interplay of class, race, and gender identity in the forms of the violence that we are subjected to and discuss our workable responses. 

Later in the show, more experimenting with Chat Gpt; this time we're going to find out if it's a SWERF. Buckle up. 

As always, a riveting wankers corner for your listening displeasure. 

Last but certainly not least, we'll hear from Hookers Against Hardship, a grassroots campaign of sex worker-led organisations, aiming to raise awareness of the specific experiences of sex workers during, and because of, the cost of living crisis, and how we can support their plight.
