This podcast contains mature content and may not be suitable for young listeners. For the protection of those involved, voices have been digitally altered and names have been changed.

Chapter 1

Meet Jess and Lisa, two sex workers in Christchurch, New Zealand. In this chapter of Street Lights, they share with us how they became sex workers and give us a window into their personal lives.

Chapter 2

The women lift the veil on life on the street and in the parlor.  Sex work has some surprising perks and perhaps unsurprisingly, a darker side.

Chapter 3

In the final chapter of Street Lights, Jess and Lisa share their experience with sex work and the law.
