Why do people decide to try working in the sex industry? And once in, what is it like? In the first of a three-podcast series, Philippa Tolley visits boutique agencies, a brothel based in a smart home in the suburbs and speaks to a woman with experience at big licensed clubs - all to hear from the workers themselves about the experience of being a prostitute.
Philippa Tolley and Rebekah Parsons-King head inside boutique brothels to speak to the owners and chat with a client to find out more about the business of sex.
If you are running a sex business, how does it all work? What are the practicalities of selecting a sex worker, managing clients and keeping it all discreet?
Is there an ideal sex worker? Can clients be difficult?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
