Background Noise

Self-proclaimed (on her Twitter bio @firecatkitty) "sex worker advocate & anti-poverty activist, researcher, condom fairy & social justice crime fighter", Rene Ross, was in studio for this episode to teach us all about sex workers and the sex trade. She also helped us as we tackled all of the exciting news as of late: Whitney Houston's death, Jeremy Lin's rise to super-stardom in the NBA (we Skyped in our friend Tom, who is currently living in Taiwan, and he told us about the pandemomium going on over there), the Grammys (Nicki Minaj's stunt and everything else that went on), and we even had an educational & earnest discussion about how clean a woman's vagina should be and how she should go about cleaning it. On what other show will you see a line-up of topics like this? None. That's why you love us or hate us, so let us into your ears so that our words can tapdance on your brain and hit your good spots. Pause.
