Hello, everyone. Welcome to Conspiruality, where we investigate the intersections of conspiracy theories and spiritual influence to uncover cults, pseudoscience, and authoritarian extremism. I'm Matthew Remski.

I am Esme Providence Brown. Yes, our fearless correspondent from the world of sex work and social justice returns. Thanks so much for coming back.

I'm so happy to be here. We are on Instagram and threads at Conspiratuality Podcast.

Or sorry, Conspiratuality Pod. And you can access all of our episodes ad-free plus our Monday bonus episodes on Patreon or just the bonus episodes via Apple

subscriptions. We really appreciate your support. Esme, how are you doing? And can you reintroduce

yourself really quickly and remind us of all of your previous studies with us?

Absolutely. So I was a sex worker, specifically in professional

domination and kink services, erotic body work for 20 years, off and on, mostly based in New

York City. And then I entered into the world of yoga teacher training and that whole adventure and journey.

And now I am writing a memoir, reflecting on all of that.

And I think that a lot of my experience is really mirror what conspirtuality has been doing for the last four years in terms of just bringing to the surface some of the

some of the very important questions of where those two spaces intersect.

Today, we're looking at somebody that I know is fascinating to you, but also has been at the heart

of, you know, the beginning, the origin story of this podcast, actually.

That's Kelly Brogan. So our episode is called Kelly Brogan's Divine Dungeon, and we'll talk about

why that is. And we started planning this out a long time ago, but so much has happened.

So much has happened. Especially through the fall campaign.

And so I just want to run down a few of the low lights in relation to our topic today that I think make it even more, I would say, pressing.

Absolutely.

So first of all, the Harris campaign.

You know, she lost. And one of the key things that happened was that there was a failure to mobilize again around the Dodd decision. You know, there was this open door opportunity to really seize the day with regard to codifying Roe v. Wade,

and that wasn't really taken.
