Her brilliant book is called Madam - it’s out now and it’s such a sensation it’s becoming a whole TV series.  



This chat covers the broader idea of human connection, dignity, and the impact of modern technology on relationships.  



Antonia’s approach to her industry has always centred on consent, safety, and professionalism, challenging stereotypes while highlighting society's complex relationship with intimacy and pleasure.
