------------------------------------​

Section I: Concept Development​

1. Purpose​

Main Goal:
Destigmatising the adult industry through shared stories, humour, empowerment, and life lessons, and practical insights.
One-Sentence Mission Statement:
To amplify authentic voices from the adult industry and create a space where education, empowerment, and real-life experiences meet without shame.

​

2. Target Audience​

Target Audience (All-genders and biological sexes)​

Our podcast is intentionally designed for a broad audience — men, women, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ community members of legal age — because the stories, wisdom, and lived experiences of adult entertainers have universal value.

Listeners may include:

• Men who want to understand the women who support them without judgement.
• Women who want to feel empowered by hearing the journeys of other women reclaiming their autonomy.
• People curious about the adult industry beyond stereotypes.
• Anyone interested in psychology, sexuality, self-development, and resilience.
• Community members who interact with workers and want deeper understanding.
• Clients who want to learn how to engage respectfully, safely, and confidently.

Why This Audience Matters​

The podcast isn’t simply about entertainment — it’s about humanising, educating, and connecting.

Sex workers are:

• mothers,
• students,
• individuals,
• entrepreneurs,
• caretakers,
• community pillars,
• mental health warriors,
• people with deep emotional intelligence,
• and often some of the most resilient, insightful voices in society.

Listeners — all alike and different — will discover that the working ladies are:

• articulate,
• thoughtful,
• emotionally mature,
• self-aware,
• financially savvy,
• sexually educated,
• psychologically insightful,
• and often juggling multiple demanding identities with strength and consideration.

This range of perspectives allows the podcast to challenge stigma by showcasing workers as whole, multidimensional human beings with expertise and life lessons worth sharing.

The Unique Value for Listeners​

Listeners can benefit in powerful ways:

For Biological and Gendered Men:​

• deeper understanding of boundaries, consent, and emotional communication
• insight into respectful engagement
• reduced shame and isolation around sexuality
• appreciation for the emotional labour and skills workers offer
• better self-confidence and self-knowledge

For Biologically and Gendered Women:​

• empowerment from hearing women speak without shame
• inspiration in confidence, boundaries, and career autonomy
• recognition of the parallels between sex work and broader female experiences
• encouragement to embrace their own sexuality and identity
• stories of resilience, transformation, and financial independence

Why It Works: The Conversations Are Already Gold​

One of the strongest points of the show is that the conversations at the club are already:

• deep
• funny
• philosophical
• surprising
• healing
• validating
• confidence-boosting

Bringing these conversations to a public audience means more people get to feel the empowerment, acceptance, and connection that happen behind closed doors every day and night.

This can even lead to:

• new clients feeling safe enough to visit,
• people feeling comfortable asking questions directly in the Q&A series,
• and the community understanding the industry in a healthier, more human way.

Top 3 Listener Pain Points:

1. They want to understand and consider the adult industry without stigma, sensationalism, or shame.
2. They have a need for honest, relatable insights into psychology, sexuality, relationships, and self-worth.
3. Curiosity about insights from real women in the industry — their resilience, intelligence, financial input, and emotional/mental strength.
4. (Optional extra pain point) Wanting a safe, open space to hear responses to questions they don’t feel comfortable asking anywhere else.

​

3. Format​

Chosen Format: Hybrid interviews + storytelling
Pros:

• Real, varied voices keep episodes dynamic.
• Deep dives into lived experience.
• Allows for commentary, humour, and personal insight.

Cons:

• Requires reliable guests.
• Editing due to variable pacing and recordings from multiple ladies into a handful of episodes per series.

------------------------------------​

Section II: Research and Strategy​

1. Market Research (5 Similar Podcasts) ​

Analyse: content strengths, gaps, tone, their handling of adult-industry topics.
Examples:

• “Call Her Daddy” – strong sexual openness, lacks industry expertise.
• “Harlots of History” – educational but historical only.
• “Sex Work CEO Podcast” – industry-focused, business-driven.
• “Strippers in the Evening” – raw interviews but limited structure.
• “The Erotic Entrepreneur” – business angle, less personal storytelling.

​

2. Gap Analysis​

Your Unique Angle:

• Australian context (rare)
• Workers sharing both humour + real-life wisdom
• Balances education & entertainment
• Sex-positive without being explicit
• Grounded in real-world working experiences
• Focus on personal development, boundaries, mental health, and misconceptions

​

3. Content Strategy (10 Series)​

Series Ideas:

1. Life Lessons & Lube: Origin Stories (What brought you to the adult industry and what has changed for you since?)
2. Community Chats (Q&A)
3. Boundaries: The art of saying "no" with confidence
4. Money: Income, stability, and the real financial truths
5. Life Lessons Learned in the Rooms
6. Clients: The good, the bad, and the surprisingly wholesome
7. Love, dating & double lives
8. Safety, wellbeing & emotional care
9. Breaking stigma: What we wish the public knew
10. Age, body confidence, and reinventing/self-confidently supporting yourself
