Summary

This episode is informative, listener! We switch up our typical format for a dedicated interview of Madam Tara Adkins, the manager of Nevada’s first legally licensed brothel — Mustang Ranch. We get into the nitty-gritty of everything you’ve ever wanted to know about organized sex work: how the business operates, how it does so safely, the life of courtesans, and the outrageous stories of the patrons who seek them out. This episode has it all: elderly lesbians using the brothel to explore polyamory, war veterans using it as a form of sex therapy, and even parents taking their children to lose their v-card. You won’t want to miss this!
