Slaving Away Series 1 by @miri_kane

By Pamelascott

Meet Miranda. She is a cheerful and happy-go-lucky single girl who just happens to be a dominatrix with a dungeon in her flat where she services clients with flogging and extreme correction and (if she's lucky) gets the occasional slave to pay her for the honour of doing her vacuuming.

When she's not delivering 30 lashes to the sensitive parts of religious zealots or doing step aerobics in stilettos on the buttocks of retired army officers, she is just trying to get on with the neighbours and make her flatmate, Dan, realise that in spite of what he may think of her job, she could just be the girl of his dreams (and not just his nightmares).

This is a refreshingly funny and joyfully rude sitcom that proudly celebrates sex, nonconformity, and doing the wrong thing.

Slaving Away is a delight, a treat to listen to and one of the funniest things I've heard in ages. I liked the fact it wasn't just focused on her life as a Dominatrix but explored her friendships and her trials learning to drive. I listened to this at work and found myself laughing out loud in the middle of a busy office trying to ignore strange looks being flashed in my direction. Miranda's experiences being a plus size Dominatrix are recounted with real humour and these episodes were a delight to listen to. I loved the episode where Miranda is given a poor review because she's a plus size and one of her long-term clients, The Brigadier leaps to her defence. This was hugely entertaining.
