BetterPod: Sophia Smith Galer myth-busts the sex misinformation crisis

Sophia Smith Galer says our sex education is failing us. She joins BetterPod to champion inclusive and equitable sex.

Sophia Smith Galer on sex education

Sophia Smith Galer wants us to talk about sex. A multi-award-winning reporter, author and TikTok creator based in London, she’s investigated the misinformation we’re all exposed to about our sexuality.

Her book Losing It: Sex Education for the 21st Century is a myth-busting call-to-arms that champions inclusive and equitable sex. On BetterPod, Sophia Smith Galer tells Laura Kelly and Sophie Dimitrijevic that better sex is not only about pleasure – it’s also an opportunity to be smarter and kinder.

BetterPod is brought to you by The Big Issue’s Future Generations team. Through the Future Generations team, we offer a platform for exciting young journalists from underrepresented backgrounds to address the biggest issues facing us today.
