Wondery presents, Operator

11/17/21 • 5 min

During the 1-900 number craze of the Nineties, one company provided the vast majority of phone sex. American Telnet was an empire founded by the man who called himself “The Telephone Pimp.” He ran the company “like General Motors” and got filthy rich doing it. But for the (mostly) women who answered the calls and delivered fantasies 24-7, it was a different story. The powerful stigma against sex work was always lurking just beneath the surface, until it threatened to tear apart the whole company. Hosted by Tina Horn (Why Are People Into That?), OPERATOR is an eight-part series about big ambitions, Shakespearean-level corporate backstabbing, men and women at the cutting edge of a technological revolution...and on the front lines of a sexual one.

Happy Thanksgiving and all of that good shit. I hope you ate good but if you didn't, don't feel bad, not all of us did. It's something about Thanksgiving that makes people think they can cook when they really can't.
I've mixed this episode 22 times. I've finally figured out how to mix in 7.1 with my current setup. Please comment below or via Instagram about how it sounds. That's really all I care about.
Thank you so much, Angel! She's been doing one hell of a fucking job with acting!
