Pole the Other One!
Hosted by Siân Docksey · EN
Forget what you think you know about pole dancing!
Pole dancing comedian Siân Docksey noticed how much pole dancing had improved her mental health, so she started asking other people how pole dancing has been a force for positive change in their lives. This grew into conversations about everything from creativity and gender identity to political activism and business skills.
Co-hosted with comedian Lulu Popplewell, the podcast speaks to sexy stick enthusiasts at all levels about what led them to the art of stick-dangling, and where it's taken them.
