In this episode of the #teakink Podcast we meet Polly - an escort, academic, and community organiser with SWARM who shares the ins and outs of what a kink escort booking looks like, her thoughts on the state of academia, and her love for grimy leather bars and wild swimming. Eva Oh joins her on a campaign for queer cruising spaces and also shares a story of the time she got Root Beer Float Waterboarded.
