My name is Lux ATL, and I am a mother, wife, business owner, former university instructor, and lifelong stripper. From the halls of academia to the strip club stage, my life as a post-academic feminist sex worker has been filled with unique sociological insight, unforgettable friendships, and a thousand beautiful messes in between. These are my true stories of the highs and lows of an ex-academic and lifelong stripper pole dancing for pay on stages all across the South.

048: Who Mans the Panopticon
I’ve talked a lot about stripping and falling in and out of love with sex work, but I haven’t talked a lot about my time falling in and out of love with professional intellectualism--so today, I want to talk about that.
Today's episode is about the first time when I quit my life as a full-time stripper to commit myself to a "respectable" life, dove into scholarship, and brought my punk-rock, stargazer boyfriend along for a ride—a ride that may not have been the one he signed up for.

Intellectual and inspiring
The eye opening content of this podcast and strength it has taken to share these stories is so appreciated. The episodes are raw and passionate yet finessed. This is written beautifully, it feels like art.
Raw, Brutal Honesty
Being a huge fan of Lux’s already, I was super excited to start listening to her stories. Lux is an impressive storyteller, and I was absolutely glued from her first words. Lux shares stories of her life as a stripper with a pHD, and digs deep - brutal, raw and beautiful, the stories make you laugh, cry and ponder deeply. Broaden your knowledge, absorb Lux’s excellence, take 10 minutes out and let yourself be drawn into her world. Cannot wait to get through the rest of the episodes. When is the movie out??!!!
