Review of Strip Club USA Part OneVery similar to the hbo g string divas show popular right now. Less titalating and more informational without that shows visuals. It's suitable listening for public airways at any hour, but for topic alone probably should be played after 10 pm. |

Review of Strip Club USA Part OneConfessions from people who are on opposite sides of the business. The piece is dark, but the interviewees talking candidly makes it a very revealing one. Misconceptions are discussed and feelings are shared, among others, but resulting in a well balanced piece. |

Review of Strip Club USA Part One
This program is about life in a strip club, but there isn't much erotic about it. It's mostly about the sad lives of many of the men who frequent them and about the women who are paid to please them. Many of these men are total jerks. Many of the women have become hardened to the situation they're in. This is an interesting and realistic look at a subject that's titillating on the surface (pardon the pun), but which is deep and dark when you dig into it.
