About this listen

 NSP #65 we spoke with Maggie McNeill about the politics of sex work, censorship, science fiction, and libertarianism. Maggie was a librarian in suburban New Orleans, but after an acrimonious divorce she took up sex work; from 1997 to 2006 she worked first as a stripper, then as a call girl and madam. She eventually married her favorite client and retired to a ranch in Oklahoma, but returned to escorting part-time in 2010 and full-time in 2015 after another divorce (this time amicable) and a move to Seattle. She’s been a sex worker rights activist since 2004, and since 2010 has written “The Honest Courtesan”, a daily blog which discusses sex work, politics, anarchism, philosophy and other topics. She has also published articles in venues such as Reason and the Washington Post; given innumerable lectures, talks, radio & video interviews; and is frequently consulted by academics and journalists as an expert on sex work.
