(LOS ANGELES, Calif. / Sept 3, 2021) — Kate Kennedy is the week’s guest on Parker Westwood’s captivating new podcast, ‘A Sex Worker’s Guide To The Galaxy.’
The program interviews with Earth’s most multi-dimensional beings: sex workers. The show takes listeners on a journey into the lives and minds of sex workers from across the industry with one mission — to go where no man has gone before — to imagine a world in which sex workers are not demonized or sensationalized, but humanized.
In this episode, the adult film star, standup comic, writer, and social media phenom she takes us through a day in the life of Kate Kennedy, reveals how she copes with the isolation of her work, her love of stand up comedy, and how OnlyFans has shifted the sex work industry.
The episode was recorded before OnlyFans banned (and then promptly un-banned) sexually explicit content from its platform. The company has since stated that they made this move due to banks who are threatening to stop processing payments within the sex industry. You can sign onto a letter written by sex workers demanding an end to this kind of banking discrimination at SexWorkSignOn.com.
“I absolutely loved guesting on Parker’s podcast,” said Kennedy. “We could have kept talking for hours after recording, but during the show we cover everything from a typical day in my life to the nights out I spend doing standup, along with lots of perspectives on sex work. I even whip out my super secret hidden talent of saying the alphabet backwards at the end! Such a fun conversation and a really great podcast, definitely mandatory listening if you want to really get to know me and what my life is like.”
Parker Westwood has been in sex work on and off for the last decade in various different aspects of the work. They are one of the founding members of ANSWER Detroit (A Network of Sex Workers to Excite Revolution) a social justice collective of sex workers in Detroit that exists to uphold the right of sex workers to engage in this work for whatever reasons they choose.
Westwood launched ‘A Sex Worker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ in January of 2021 with a singular mission — to de-stigmatize and humanize sex workers. Westwood believes that “at the root of the discrimination of sex workers is an ‘othering’ that allows people to see us as unrelatable and subhuman, and therefore undeserving of basic human rights and dignity. ‘A Sex Worker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ was created in an attempt to allow the world to relate to sex workers as they are — human beings.”

About Kate Kennedy
Los Angeles-based comedian, content creator, porn pundit, and self-described “podcast slut” Kate Kennedy entered the adult industry behind the scenes, working in marketing and production for a year before stepping in front of the camera in July 2018. With girl-next-door good looks, acting chops and a personality to charm the pants right off you, she quickly became an industry favorite, racking up credits for major adult studios, as well as multiple award nominations, including a 2019 ‘Best New Starlet’ nod from NightMoves.
Kennedy fulfilled a lifelong dream and began performing standup comedy in 2019 at major Los Angeles venues, including the world famous Comedy Store. Her blend of sex and humor has made her a hit with comedy and porn fans alike, and she can frequently be heard dishing the dirty details of her porn career on podcasts and radio, including Your Mom’s House with Tom Segura & Christina P., and Dr. Drew After Dark.
In June 2020, she was featured in a HUSTLER Magazine story on adult stars who also perform in the comedy world, and the following month, Kennedy launched her own perverse podcast, “The Kennedy Assassination,” in which she interviews men from the internet who really despise her.
Kennedy went on to host the “Cam Girl Chronicles” podcast, which dives into the world of webcam and features ladies from ImLive sharing their stories, and is currently the co-host of “Two Girls One Mic: The Porncast,” in which she and show creator Alice Vaughn discuss the holes and the plot holes of your favorite porn.
Kennedy and her OnlyFans were the focus of a March 2020 New York Post story examining the silver lining some sex workers and their fans have found as people in self-isolation seek to escape the new reality of the coronavirus. In April, Kennedy discussed the ways in which online sex workers are innovating and adapting in the crowded, post-COVID-19 online pornosphere in a HUSTLERMagazine.com feature, and in June she spoke with Men’s Health about how OnlyFans has changed the face of the adult business.
In September, Kennedy shared her perspective on whether celebrities are ruining OnlyFans for sex workers — “The Bella Thorne Effect” — with Playboy, and penned “Porn Stars, COVID and Side Hustles” for HUSTLER.
Also in 2020, Kennedy was honored by the 10th Annual Spank Bank Awards in three categories: ‘Most Likely To Become The Cirque de Soleil’s Performance Masturbator’; ‘Puppeteer of the Year (Best Hands/Fister)’; and ‘Fucking Nerd of the Year.’
