“There's only so many ways of saying, ‘I'm going to destroy you with my beautiful bare feet’”.
Rosie Hodsdon was struggling to make ends meet on a pHD stipend.
Then she hit Record and began to make sex videos from her student flat, indulging her fetish for kink.
As she explains to Olly in this intimate conversation, her sexy side-hustle introduced her to a range of peccadillos, including ‘Giantess’ porn and ‘sploshing’ - and even led her to be invited to join the cast of a professional adult video.
But it also left her exposed to assault.
Now an advocate for charity National Ugly Mugs, Rosie campaigns for increased rights for sex workers, and nurtures support networks for performers who fall prey to violence.
CONTENT WARNING: explicit sexual content; sexual assault.

Ollie with his Sports Journalism award. He’s going to be unbearable now.
Meanwhile, in the Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart - fresh from scooping up a Sports Journalism Award for producing the podcast ‘Brown Gal Can’t Swim’ - investigates the trend for breakdancing. (Or, as he discovers, ‘break’, as it is correctly called…)
How will it fare as an Olympic sport in 2024? How does one go about gaining the highest score in a battle dance? And will he permanently damage his knees by just giving it a go?
With help from break expert DJ Renegage and sports commentator Tim Warwood, Ollie BREAKS UP THE DANCE FLOOR.
