PORN with Dr Alon Lischinsky

Pole the Other One! · 2023-06-02

What is sex-positivity? How do you put enthusiastic consent at the centre of everything you do?

Queer academic, recently qualified pole instructor and linguist Dr Alon Lischinsky is a specialist in the language around sexuality. Siân and Lulu chat to the most intellectually qualified deviant they know about power dynamics in porn, how to flip the script on sexy stuff, and how to help complete beginners literally flip around a sexy stick.

Pole the Other One!

Pole dancing is a powerful force for positive change!

Messy comedy grubs Siân Docksey and Lulu Popplewell talk to guests about the magic of hanging off a stick.

Pole dancing comedian Siân Docksey noticed how much pole dancing had improved her mental health, so she started a podcast from her parent's basement about it. This grew into interviews with pole dancers about everything from creativity, body confidence and gender identity to sex worker activism and business skills.

Co-hosted with comedian Lulu Popplewell, the podcast speaks to sexy stick enthusiasts at all levels about the art of stick-dangling: from hobbyists using pole to manage a disability to multi-competition winning professional dancers, instructors and studio owners shaking up the industry.

You can also get bonus-length episodes and help us keep making the podcast by joining Siân's Patreon . Follow the polepod on Instagram and don't forget to recommend us your friends!
