"I'm a financial dominatrix."

Season 3 · Episode 2

Friday, June 17, 2022 • Duration 42:27

Whether your kink is karma or carnage, there’s always something out there for you. And our guest sure found her sweet spot - financial domination.

We're talking with the manipulatrix, the vocal priestess, the hypno crypto queen herself – Theodora.

Theodora dabbles in “traditional” dominatrix work, but her clients – or, pay pigs as they’re affectionately known – are most interested in her controlling their finances. That can mean controlling their bank accounts. It can also mean setting up her submissives to mine crypto currency for her. Clients can pay her bills, or even get her a new pair of her favorite Louboutin shoes.

“I preserve vintage TV art.”

Season 2 · Episode 9

Wednesday, November 20, 2019 • Duration 24:47

But the only other alternative is letting those works of art be lost forever. And that can’t happen.
