What actually happens in a strip club?

We talk about the difference between pole dancing in studios and in the club, how Luna is bringing stripper skills to her workshops, and why sex workers need the same rights as all other workers.

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!
