Get ready for a night of provocative storytelling, unapologetic truth,
and boundary-pushing honesty!

In this episode, Monika sits down with Dixie De La Tour, the dynamic
force behind Bawdy Storytelling, to talk about the upcoming live show
on Friday, July 18th at 8:00 PM at the Verdi Club in San Francisco's
Potrero Hill neighborhood.

They dive into the life and legacy of Dossie Easton, co-author of
groundbreaking books like The Ethical Slut, Radical Ecstasy, The
Topping Book, and The Bottoming Book. Dixie shares how a life-changing
LSD trip became a turning point for Easton—one that would influence
generations of thinkers, lovers, and radicals in the world of
sex-positivity, kink, and ethical non-monogamy.

transformation, legacy, and the power of telling the truth out loud.
