Pypr specifically caters to sex workers, freelancers, independent contractors, and content creators.

#109 - Managing Your Finances: Making an Effective Life Plan for SWers with Lindsey Swanson of Stripper Financial Planning

Really excited to bring this week's guest on the show to speak about money management. Sure, we, as sex workers, have the potential to make a lot of money. But what do we do with that? Some of us have short-term goals of buying that purse or pair of shoes we've always dreamed of and some of us have long-term goals like buying our first home or a car. The thought may be daunting whether or not you're in sex work and can overwhelming which is exactly the reason why I invited our guest, Lindsey Swa...

#103 - The Boobs, the Brains and the Business: Running a Strip Club in 2022 w/ Jade of Shakerz Show Lounge

I've given a fair bit of time dedicated to dancers in strip clubs on the show because hey, that's where I spend a lot of my time! But we also need to take a look at another angle: what is it like to run a strip club? How do you navigate operations during a pandemic? How do you keep the staff, patrons and the dancers safe? What are the challenges that we face in a time when strip clubs are closing down right, left and center? I couldn't think of a better guest to bring on than Jade , owner-operat...

I'm back, baby! Sorry for the tardiness this and last week - I am FINALLY back on Canadian soil and I am beyond excited to kick off Season 4!

***TRIGGER WARNING – Mention of sexual assault, substance abuse, physical abuse, pimps.*** Huge episode this week. It’s been a while since we’ve had a long-form episode on the podcast, eh? Well, this week is certainly deserving of the length as it is a fascinating and heartbreaking episode that I have had the pleasure to share.

#96 - Human Trafficking: What It Can Really Look Like w/ Brandi Wood

***TRIGGER WARNING: Human trafficking*** This week, I sit down with full service sex worker, Brandi Wood , whom I connected with recently to touch base on the topic of human trafficking. Often times, when we think of somebody being trafficked, images of children in Southeast Asian with older men might come to mind, or perhaps images of Eastern European or Asian women may flash through your head. These are images that are fed to us through mass media. I, too, fell prey to this and I am still work...

#95 – Decriminalization: Is the New Zealand Model the Ideal Model to Protect Sex Workers? w/ Vixen Temple

We all dream about decriminalization (atleast here in North America and in other parts of the world)! It seems like a dream for many countries as sex workers are a widely marginalized and unprotected group by most governments. There is only one country in the world where sex work is decriminalized and that is New Zealand. I invite the ever-so-knowedgeable, Vixen Temple , a sex worker based in Aotearoa, New Zealand, onto the podcast this week to speak about the decriminalization of sex work in he...

It’s time to have a conversation about privilege within our community. What does that mean to you? What does that mean? It’s such a huge and hot topic within our industry that people either love or loathe talking about but after a brief tweet went viral, I’m here to start a discussion about it. I am joined by Jessie Sage of On the Whoreizon who I’ve had on the show before (go check out Episode 71!) to help me tackle this behemoth of a topic. We do our best in addressing our own privileges – bein...

Hi folks! I’ve just recently come back from a much-needed vacation and have been busy catching up with work here this week. I also was invited to speak, yet again, at Florida State University in one of their Human Sexuality classes (thanks again, Alicia!). I thought this would be a great opportunity to share a little bit about myself (especially if you’re brand new here), to provide insight to these students, some of whom who have never spoken to a sex worker or don’t even know or realize what s...

Malcolm has juggled some very successful careers, both in journalism and in the music industry (you may know him as Mindbender Supreme!). Soon, he was writing pieces on activism and the injustices in the world both in his journalistic career and in his music but a lightbulb went off his brain: how can I w...

***TRIGGER WARNING: Mention of rape and sexual assault in this episode.*** Such a juicy topic today and one that I have literally been DYING to report on forever. This week we discuss “revenge porn”. It’s a term that you’re likely familiar with but we actually don’t call it that anymore. Gender-based internet violence or non-consensual image distribution is the correct term that we are using to describe it nowadays and I bring on Erika Smith of Take Back the Tech , a global organization working ...
