“When We’re Not Hustling” podcast returned on July 1 for the second season of “When We’re Not Hustling: Sex Workers Talking About Everything But,” hosted by Jessie Sage. This series unveils the lives of sex workers, their unique identities, hobbies, pitfalls, and triumphs.
New episodes are released every Monday on all major podcast platforms. In addition to the regular episodes, a special After Party episode airs every Wednesday in video format, where a guest joins Sage and the podcast’s producer Emily Foster to discuss that week’s episode, sharing their insights and observations. Catch Sage’s mom as this month’s After Party guest. Later in the season Ashley Ramos, the New Moon Network’s Melodie Garcia, and Melissa Milk will join Sage and Foster.
This season of the “When We’re Not Hustling” podcast will conclude on Nov. 25. Following this, a special roundtable discussion will be held on Dec. 2, offering a comprehensive wrap-up of the season’s themes and discussions.
Said Foster, “I’m excited for the next guest on our podcast —every next guest! I love finding out what people are into. The After Parties, of course, are amazing.”
The show is grounded in these core beliefs:
• Sex work is a job among jobs; that is to say, it is only one role among many that sex workers inhabit.
• And yet, sex work is often treated as a master identity—one that (because of the work’s stigma) overshadows everything else about the workers.
• Sex workers are whole human beings who cannot be reduced to their jobs.
• Seeing sex workers as full people outside of their work is an essential step toward humanizing and destigmatizing the profession and those who work within it.
Sage shared, “Creating ‘WWNH’ with producer Emily Foster has been a pleasure, and interviewing so many amazing guests in season one was an honor. I’m eagerly looking forward to Season 2, where every guest made me laugh, think, and taught me something new.”
Episode two recently aired with award-winning adult industry personality Siri Dahl discussing her journey of becoming a dedicated powerlifter and how she continues to challenge herself and meet her goals even after experiencing injuries. Season two of “When We’re Not Hustling” podcast promises to deliver a diverse lineup with 23 guests, including notable names like Ruby Lynne, Emery Fields, Charlotte Shane, Dominique Rystan, Jet Setting Jasmine, Eva Oh, and more.
