While I'm on break, I decided to upload some of my favourite episodes so far.
I loved this chat with actor, comedian and writer Sarah Griffin. We talked about her upbringing by a proud, second-wave feminist in Louisville, Kentucky, her experience as "Patrick" as part of the Pop Up Globe's "all male" cast of The Merchant of Venice and A Midsummer Night's Dream and her journey to identifying as genderqueer.

This week was special to me, as I had the pleasure to welcome back the wonderful Nina Sever. So much has happened since we last met. From finishing and publishing their directorial debut for Erika Lust's XConfessions ("Coffee with Pleasure"), their first experiences as a performer in the porn industry, to exploring their gender identity, Nina was open and honest in discussing their recent journey.

This week I got to sit down with actress and drag artist Alexandra Christle, aka Crystal Bollix. We had a chat about her beginnings in drag performance, the inspiration behind her show "The Bitch Ball" and how she found strength in claiming back the word "Bitch", transforming it from weakness to strength.

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down for a chat with Violet V. Violet has been active in the kink community for years and was happy to answer all my questions, smart and otherwise.

If you have any questions that I haven't asked, please feel free to contact me and we'll get back together for another episode to get a bit more indepth.

*Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault*
This week I talked to cabaret artist Jacinta about her personal experience with abortion and the importance of free, legal and safe treatment. An important conversation I'm grateful for about a topic that is so important to discuss. Especially as it still holds a lot of shame and guilt which is placed on us by society, that simply shouldn't be there. We also discussed her experience with sexual assault, how the "Me Too" - movement helped her in recognising and coming to terms with her experience and the importance of consent.

Join me this week for a chat with the wonderful Orla Quilligan as we discuss the need for monogamy, dating apps and go off on all sorts of fun tangents from psychotherapy to the NHS.
Because we touched on mental health and counseling, here are some resources I've previously linked on the topic on a previous episode, of course this list isn't comprehensive and is in no way meant as, or an alternative to, medical advice!

This week, join me for a great conversation with actor Jenet Le Lacheur. We discussed porn, its impact on young people and why its censorship should ring alarm bells. Jenet shared her personal journey to finding their gender identity, what role porn played in it and why inclusive sex education would have been and is so vital. Oh and last but not least, my new favourite topic: kink.

This week we celebrate a little anniversiary, it's the 20th episode of Masterbators! With me for the occassion were Mesha Maria Wright and Bethany Parker who came to chat about their show "Tits, Teeth and Twats" that premiered at Brighton Fringe last year. The play centers around two young women who are struggling to cope in a society obsessed with Snapchat filters, glitter and the Kardashians. We talked about their inspiration behind the play, the unrealistic beauty standards young people are subjected to, online dating, gender roles and insecurities. Keep an eye out on their social media, the show will return soon!

This week I had the pleasure to chat with artist, interaction designer and self proclaimed pseudopoet Jay Whitehead. She shared her story with me, how she dealt with battling leukemia as a child, finding strength in art and how it helped her through the darkest times and the importance of "fuck it moments". Truly one of the most honest and inspiring conversations I've ever had.
If you'd like to check out some of her art, you can find her in Instagram @J.whiteheadintdesarts and @s_cattered
