A lively podcast by Steven Rascon, for KQED, about Scarlot Harlot (aka Carol Leigh), the professional call girl and writer/ performer who coined the term "s*x worker". Her solo play, THE ADVENTURES OF SCARLOT HARLOT, was the first solo I directed. I loved working with Carol from 1980-84 developing and directing this show.
The show is called Bay Curious and the episode name is 'Scarlot Harlot Made S*x Worker Rights Her Life's Work.
Here's the link plus a video of Scarlot. Enjoy.
