In this Skoob Podcast, host Madison Reed takes you on an AI powered journey through the surprising truths of the world’s oldest profession. Discover how the Romans regulated prostitution with licenses and taxes, why sacred temples in Egypt may have blurred the line between devotion and desire, and how 19th-century America created legalized red-light districts like Storyville.
