Today we’re turning the clock back to the Industrial Revolution, a time when the world was changing at a breakneck pace, and with it, the way people lived and worked. In this episode, we’re exploring the curious yet almost forgotten profession of... the knocker-upper—a job that was essential in waking up an entire nation, long before the invention of alarm clocks.

BBW

In this episode of The StickyBeak, host Mon sits down with Sunny Jayne, a bold and brilliant adult content creator who identifies as a BBW (Big Beautiful Woman). Together, they unpack the layered realities of working in the adult industry while challenging society’s narrow beauty standards.

From body confidence and sensuality to navigating empowerment vs. objectification, this candid conversation offers a refreshing and deeply personal perspective on what it really means to be a plus-size woman in adult content.

Thank you so much to Sunny Jayne for sharing her experiences.

India's Only Female Sumo Wrestler revisited

Today we're revisiting one of the very first episodes of the pod. It’s a conversation with the legendary... Hetal Dave! She’s India’s first and only female sumo wrestler. Absolutely inspiring, she has such an amazing story, there was even a biopic made about her last year. Just a quick one before we get started - as Hetal lives in the middle of Mumbai, you can hear some background noises – personally I think it makes it more immersive. Hopefully you do too. Enjoy!

Find Hetal on social media here...
