Stance Podcast explores diverse perspectives in arts, culture and current affairs. This month, we speak to Gina Miller, the woman who successfully took on the British government with regards to Brexit, in one of her most personal interviews to date. We explore the often overlooked political and racial aspects of the work of the late artist, Basquiat. And we discuss sex with five women who in different ways are helping people to own their sexuality and desires; featuring the legendary theatre director Mahabanoo Mody-Kotwal who brought The Vagina Monologues to India, Cindy Gallop who is transforming the way we consume sex online, and Shan Boody who has pioneered sex education for the next generation through YouTube. Warning: Not suitable for young audiences, listen at your own discretion.
