Tomorrow is Radio AvA’s birthday! Fri 27th Apr. @ 3pm on www.radioava.org
This month our DIY sex workers radio station turns two years old.
We’ll toast to our continued survival and ill humour live on web, play birthday tunes, and be merry.
But fear not, this show is also packed with substance.
Featuring:
– Feminist queer porn, including sound bytes from the premier of the film Fucking Against Fascism and interviews about the politics of porn in contemporary US and how to make porn collectively; a retrospective for Pandora / Blake at the London queer film festival, with insights about feminist porn making and how to handle increasingly hostile UK legislation censuring feminist and queer sexual representations.
– An overview of the new US anti -sex workers legislation SESTA / FOSTA and how it effects us.
Many thanks to those who contributed to this month’s segment on SESTA / FOSTA legislation and how it does and may further affect us.
