This panel discussing the nuances of the claim "racist" and the internalized racism that is within all of us. Note from host: If this topic pisses you off...listen to this episode.

In the season 3 premiere, host Rae Weyn Gonzalez talks to professional Astrologer, Kirah (@thestrology) asking her questions on all things Astrology and the zodiac. Note from Host: In the intro to this episode I kept calling Kirah the "Strologer"...she literally never claimed that name and I don't know why I got it into my head that, that was what she called herself. I think it's because her social handle is "TheStrology". I'm dumb, but isn't that the point of the show? Sorry Kirah, you rock....

Rae talks to friend about sex work and her life as a stripper. This topic is beyond stigmatized, if you're one of those people who don't feel like sex work is "real work" or think being a stripper is easy, I highly recommend you listen to this one. She neither glorifies or shames this line of work, but gives it exactly the way it is. She's so straight up and badass which makes this episode that much more exciting.
