Podcast episode about the workers at the Lusty Lady strip club in San
Francisco who in 1997 were the first women who managed to unionise a strip
joint in the United States, and who later took it over and ran it as a
workers’ co-operative.This podcast is funded by our listeners. You can support

We have been trying to improve our podcast over the last few months, but this
is really the first of our new wave of episodes which we have been devoting
huge amounts of time to. We have worked on this episode for over 6 months, and
are very pleased to finally be able to release it. Ultimately we will only be
able to continue to devote this much time to the podcast if we get more
support on patreon, so please do support us if you can. If not, we would still
appreciate you sharing podcast episodes on social media, and reviewing us on
Apple Podcasts.
