I was so excited to speak to Dr Kate Lister who is a lecturer at Leeds Trinity University and who researches the literary history of sex work and created the online research project Whores of Yore - a digital archive for the study of historical sexuality.

Kate is the author of the A Curious History of Sex (which I have read and is a fantastic and fascinating read) and has appeared on TED Talks (links below).

Our chat is very frank and honest and if you don't like discussions around sex and the words we use for certain parts of the anatomy then this one may not be for you. I hope it is though because I thoroughly enjoyed chatting to Kate.

The featured song is "Love You Better" by Rob Chew - I love this track, it's so poppy and upbeat - see what you think!
