About this listen

 A podcast hosted by three experienced intimacy coordinators — Rachel Lee Flesher (they/she/he), Katherine O’Keefe (she/her), and Annie Spong (she/her). Join them in their warm and inclusive conversations as they delve into the intricate world of their craft, and how it interacts with the production process. They'll also share insightful stories from their experiences on (and off!) set working as ICs. In each episode, they attempt to unravel the standards, culture, and complexities surrounding intimacy and nudity in the entertainment industry, offering their three unique perspectives. As pioneers in a surprisingly new profession, Katherine, Annie, and Rachel aim to demystify the role of intimacy coordinators – addressing the need for ICs and why intimacy coordination is a crucial part of filmmaking. Tune in for enlightening chats from three friends who navigate through nuanced topics with grace and levity. Join us every Wednesday!
