In this episode of Nutty & Slutty, Isadora and Janine are in the world of odd jobs — those chaotic, often humiliating gigs that rarely make it onto résumés but never quite leave the memory. What begins as a conversation about non–nine-to-five work quickly turns into a series of sharply observed, darkly funny anecdotes about survival, embarrassment and the strange turns that shape a life.

Isadora tells us that what should have been a lucrative event spirals into physical discomfort (safety pins, ill-fitting clothes, and a resurrected odor from a secondhand shirt) and mounting anxiety. Still, she pushes through — until the final course.

If you’ve ever had a job that went sideways — or spectacularly wrong — you’re in good company. Share this episode with someone who might appreciate a reminder that even the worst shifts can make for the best stories.

Welcome to NUTTY & SLUTTY
Where Mental Health, Sexuality and Unfiltered Truth Take Center Stage

NUTTY & SLUTTY is a bold, sex-positive podcast exploring the messy, complicated and often hilarious intersections of mental health, sexuality and real life — without shame, filters or pretense.

Hosted by Janine Noel (living with bipolar disorder) and Isadora O’Boto (ex-escort), this show brings together two radically honest perspectives for conversations that are as raw as they are insightful. From navigating mood swings and medication to unpacking the realities of sex work and desire, nothing is off-limits.
