Old Pros
The Oldest Profession Podcast
The Oldest Profession Podcast reminds listeners that sex workers have always been part of the story. Each episode focuses on an "old pro" from history, contextualizing that figure in their own time and connecting their story to the ongoing struggle for sex worker rights. Your host, Kaytlin Bailey, is a nationally touring stand up comic, notorious old pro, and sex worker rights advocate. She's partnered with the whole team at Old Pros to create an accessible and entertaining resource for anyone who wants to learn more about sex workers and our place in history.https://oldprosonline.org/the-olde...

Jenna Jameson 26.02.2018 1:07:57
There seems to be a widely held belief that all sex workers privately hang their heads in shame the second they are out of the spotlight or off duty. While there are undoubtedly flashes of shame (as with most jobs), some people turn to sex work as a way to aggressively take control of their destiny, utilizing the platform to shine brightly and, in the case of Jenna Jameson, build a f*cking empire!...
Big Nosed Kate 19.02.2018 50:07
Love and Addiction. Guns and Whores. Turks and Caicos. Bat Heads and Garlic? This week's episode gets deep outta the gate THEN, Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) and Wendi (@wendibird82) dig into the story of infamous whore Mária Katalin Horony (aka Big-Nosed Kate) and her tumultuous relationship with notorious outlaw Doc Holiday.

Yoshiwara 11.02.2018 1:06:35
The ladies come outta the gate fired up about the treatment of chicks in entertainment (and life in general duh), then get to the task of addressing a listener's question regarding SA negotiations within the legal confines of the podcast. They detail the particulars of creating an aura of preciosity and increasing outwardly perceived value in any work environment. Wendi (@wendibird82) and Kaytlin...
Der Pranger 31.01.2018 1:10:09
The ladies are back and fired up after battling sinus infections and side-eye from chicks at the 2018 Women's March. They also dig into a serious discussion of the difference between a shot of warm jizz to the back of the throat versus being finger fed snotty room temp cum THEN the girls dive into the history of the original "Dickipedia", Der Pranger, a German communist publication written by whor...
Kitty Salon 22.01.2018 1:09:29
It seems like everyday there is new public allegation or harrowing tale of sexual assault, and that has got some people (mostly men) crying "Fascism!!" and calling for the heads of so-called 'feminazis'. There are, however, a few key differences in a society that prioritizes human equality while enforcing punishments for those that commit acts of sexual violence and a full-blown fascist regime. Th...
Midnight Climax 15.01.2018 1:09:54
Sex workers are some of the baddest bitches around and in the 1950s, the US government took full advantage of that by forcefully enlisting handfuls of whores to aid them in administering LSD tests on their unsuspecting clients. Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) is justifiably appalled, while Wendi (@wendibird82) weighs the pros and cons of receiving double pay, government benefits and sipping on the sweet...
Yu Husuan-Chi 08.01.2018 1:01:56
The girls are sobered up and exchange their drastically different holiday survival stories: Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) finds out the frightening details of exactly how her Father would murder the man she loves, while Wendi (@wendibird82) spills the salacious details of the Christmas Cub she seduced with the help of her sugar daddy! After catching up, the ladies dissect the history of courageously co...
Heidi Fleiss 31.12.2017 1:13:02
After a long day, and even longer pours of whiskey, the girls get loosey goosey as they dive into the sordid life of infamous Hollywood madam, Heidi Fleiss! They recount her stratospheric rise and catastrophic fall that landed her in a dessert home surround by fowl creatures. Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) schools Wendi (@wendibird82) on the importance of sending the IRS more than an envelope full of dr...
Santa Claus (Nicholas of Myra) 25.12.2017 1:01:33
Is this phrase "Ho, ho, ho!" just the joyful expression of a jolly fat man OR the outcry of the original Captain Save-a-Ho?!? This week, the ladies discuss the legend of Patron Saint Nicholas, his relationships with sex workers and the transformation to his most popular incarnation, Santa Claus! The girls also stress the importance of setting boundaries, the delicate issue of breaking ties with a...
Wu Zeitan 18.12.2017 1:06:37
The ladies come out of the gate swinging, taking aim at abusive men and starting their very own whisper network to help keep fellow sex workers safe in the sometimes treacherous world of the oldest profession. After Wendi (@wendibird82) suggests that they double check the lock on Kaytlin's (@kaytlinbailey) front door, they bring you the story of Wu Zeitan and outline her rise from an impoverished...
Witchhunt! 03.12.2017 1:03:34
Accusing women of witchcraft and condemning them to death was just one of sadistic methods in the systematic disempowerment of women. But have those seemingly archaic practices and patterns gone to the wayside in today's society, or are they being subtly implemented by law enforcement agencies in an attempt to criminally punish sex workers? The ladies break down specific cases and draw parallels b...
Joanna of Naples 27.11.2017 51:30
Incest, murder, lepers and a masked man locked away in a metal cage… the story of Joanna of Naples plays out like an episode of Game of Thrones just with MORE testicular abuse! The women get into the hypocrisy of morally 'superior' legislators trying to 'save' sex workers while simultaneously (and very vocally) objectifying and harassing women. They also break down the latest in the dismantling of...
Anna Nicole Smith 19.11.2017 1:13:52
We're in the midst of what feels like a societal seachange and the ladies are FIRED UP. In addition to ranting about the latest public sexual assault allegations, they dig into the sordid and tragically exploitative story of stripper, model and media target, Anna Nicole Smith. A larger than life bombshell, Smith was labeled a white trash, gold-digging whore throughout her career then died of a dru...
Phryne 12.11.2017 1:05:09
With Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) back at the helm, the ladies dive into the story of Phryne, infamously powerful courtesan during the ancient Greek Empire. They also detail the shift in Grecian society that streamlined all sex workers and essentially morphed Athens into the Walmart of prostitution. The girls then tackle the issue of women being sexy vs. strong. Does our society still view female sens...
Mary Jones aka Beefsteak Pete 30.10.2017 1:11:23
What exactly does a Wednesday feel like? When will it finally be cashmere weather?!? The ladies address the tough questions before getting to their woman of the hour: Mary Jones aka Beefsteak Pete. Mary was a 33 year old black trans sex worker who has the literal & proverbial balls to show up in court in full drag in New York City in 1836. She was charged with larceny NOT with prostitution or so...
Harriet Hicks 23.10.2017 1:09:31
It's a hot one outta the gate because Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey) invites Wendi (@wendibird82) into her bedroom for a surprisingly unsexy reason! Then, after discussing their favorite, overpriced reusable containers, they dive into the sordid tale and love story of Harriet Hicks, one of the few documented cases of harassment and abuse of women by the government along with a gaggle of well-meaning but...
Ishtar 15.10.2017 1:04:38
The ladies are going waaaay back with this episode's historic whore, the goddess of romantic love and fertility, Ishtar. She was worshipped through the bodies of church-sanctioned prostitutes who were trained in arts of tantra, healing AND they are rumored to have started the halloween tradition of the slutty nun costume. In addition to breaking down the tragic shift of women being treated like...
Veronica Franco 15.10.2017 1:00:40
One of most difficult aspects of engaging in sex work is dealing with the judgement of friends, family and the general public if and when you decide to come out. With our technological advances, it's easier than ever for internet trolls to hide behind an anonymous persona and attack strangers through multiple platforms. It's nightmarish and it's been going on since the dawn of man. During the 16th...
Ah Toy 15.10.2017 53:31
It's the very FIRST episode of The Oldest Profession with comedians and unapologetic sex workers, Kaytlin Bailey and Wendi Starling and the ladies are coming out strong by putting the modern brothel system on blast AND recounting the life and times of historic bad bitch, Ah Toy. One of the first Chinese women to settle in the burgeoning city of San Francisco way back in 1849. In addition to recoun...
Pilot 14.10.2017 5:35
Kaytlin Bailey and Wendi Starling are mouthy comedians and unapologetic former sex workers. Instead of shamefully hiding their pasts as pussy peddlers, these two broads are enthusiastically examining and celebrating the storied history of the world's oldest profession and the heroic whores that had a hand (or at least a pinky finger) in shaping society as we know it today. Funky One Kevin MacLeo...
