Hello, Sealed Section listeners! We’ve got something special for you today—an episode from our MID podcast that we think you'll really enjoy.

In this episode, Holly Wainwright interviews Antonia Murphy, a woman who knows every intimate details of sex and the sex work industry. 

Antonia’s life took a dramatic turn when her marriage fell apart while raising three kids. Many women make big changes after divorce, but Antonia took it to a whole new level—she opened a legal, ethical brothel.

In this candid, shame-free conversation, Antonia shares the events that led her to this path, what she learned about the women working at the brothel, what they truly needed, and what the clients—almost all men—wanted (and yes, it’s surprising).

If you'd like to listen to more MID you can listen to season four here.

You can find her book, Madam, here
