BBC radio drama is in grave danger. Without it we may lose the next generation of writing talent Hundreds of hours of original plays have been cut from the corporation’s programming in recent years. If the trend continues, a valuable training ground for writers will be lost

Interessant article sobre la representació al cinema de la relació entre el poder i el sexe (de pagament i no).
Sobre això, a la memòria em vé aquesta magnífica obra de @tanikagupta.bsky.social, 'Sugar Mummies' (2006), sobre turisme sexual i cosificació.
