Welcome to the BAD SEX newsletter

The BAD SEX newsletter was written by freelance journalist Franki Cookney for supporters of her podcast, The Second Circle. Between 2021 and 2023, readers got exclusive behind-the-scenes insights into the podcast-making process and access to episodes before anyone else.
