Guest Host: Max Arion joins Cal for this two part series.

Cal Hawk is back in the studio with adult film performer and male sex worker Max Arion (Twitter: @MaxArionxxx) as his guest hosts for part two in this series exploring the state of the sex industry across Australia. This podcast also features the extended interview with Max that was too big to to fit in our regularly scheduled programming. Plus, we take on the rest of the country to talk to individuals working to support sex workers and improve their health and wellbeing in New South Wales, the Northern Territory, the ACT, and Western Australia before finishing with a chat with the national sex workers association – Scarlett Alliance.

To connect with each of the organisations and programs, head to:

• SWOP NSW (New South Wales)
• SWOP NT (Northern Territory)
• SWOP ACT (Australian Capital Territory)
• Magenta (Western Australia)
• Scarlett Alliance (National)

Don’t forget this is Part 2 – be sure to listen to the Australian States of Sex Work Part 1.
