    S1 E1: Frankie Miren, author of The Service and Morbid Obsessions
    Aug 1 2025

    In this brilliant debut episode of What Are You Reading Now?, Esme and Kareem are joined by writer, journalist, and sex worker activist Frankie Miren, author of The Service and Morbid Obsessions. From tarot readings and rescue goats to book obsessions and feminist manifestos, nothing is off the table.


    Frankie opens up about her deeply personal journey through reading and writing, how sex work and activism shaped her debut novel, and the reality of publishing a book at 50. The trio discuss the politics of sex work, the fight for decriminalisation, and the power of writing as resistance.


    Plus, discover the books that shaped Frankie’s life, the surprising comfort of AI-sounding Kindle reads, and why she hasn’t dared crack open her own novel since publishing it.


    If you’ve ever wanted to eavesdrop on three brilliant minds talking books, feminism, creativity and radical self-expression—this is the episode for you.
