When the two of us get together, you know it's about to get rowdy. Today I welcome one of my favorite people in the whole multiverse, the Prime Minister of Storytelling (I coined that), The Empress of Tea, the one and only, Dixie De La Tour. As you'll see in this episode, she is quite the storyteller. In fact, that's her whole life—you can check out her work (and podcast) at bawdystorytelling.com.On this episode, though, we talk about the wonderful, crazy world of Craigslist Casual Encounters (RIP). You'll hear about Dave the Ass Eater, 9/11, the Phive Page Phallus Portfolio, the "doctor bag", why Casual Encounters was good for women, the time I used a guy's card to extend my stay at a hotel (alone)....suffice it to say, this is a hell of an episode.  Links and Resources: kinkdoula.comPatreonMore from Dixie De La Tour  Thank you so much to my loyal Patrons who make this show possible! 💜 Join them here to support my work. 🤩 SUPERSTAR MOFOS:Liz Scott Terri Lahmon💜 PATRONS:J Starr Anna T Biddle Christopher Brown Amy Willaert James R Potyraj Marshall Flax Haddayr Copley-Woods Scott J Marty Wilder Meg Baca JP Robichaud aeric meredith-goujon KillerB1973 Sara Leiste Esther The Adipositivity Project Kathleen Melch Andrea DK Green (aka DK Leather) Stephanie Shernicoff 🥚 WELCOME N00b:Joanna SpencerSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/all-that-and-mo.
