About this episode
Julie Bindel is a British journalist and author who has covered the global sex trade extensively in her work. Her recent article, ”The Unhappy Hooker,” published in Compact Mag, took her to Amsterdam, where she visited with Xaviera Hollander, owner of Happy House B&B and the woman who supposedly inspired the term, “happy hooker.”
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Julie about Amsterdam’s legal sex trade and the truth about the so-called “happy hooker.”
