In Touch
In Touch is a docu-series offering an intimate and playful education around the ways we connect to sex, relationships and our bodies. Each episode covers a different topic close to my heart.
To bring these subjects to life, multiple voices are woven through each episode: a mix of my personal ramblings, experts in the field, and some of my nearest and dearest. Together we open the door of these communities from the inside, welcoming the listener into a space designed to be curious, vulnerable and connected.
The series was shortlisted for the International Women’s Podcast Awards, and was a top pick for the Guardian and the Independent.
Produced by Bea Duncan for Broccoli Productions.
EPISODE 1.
How can we work towards a more accepting relationship with our bodies? Ruby speaks to Dr Keon West about the positive impacts being nude could have on us all.
EPISODE 2.
With the help of experts and those in the kink community, Ruby explores the different ways kink can look and be practised, as well as the ways that shame and judgement is combatted through community.
EPISODE 3.
How are we still getting sex ed so wrong? Ruby tackles the different ways that sex ed and inherited shame shape us, as well as examining why a one size fits all approach to sex education fails us all.
EPISODE 4.
Non-monogamy isn’t new, yet there’s still a whole host of misconceptions and assumptions that surround it. Ruby chats about her personal experiences, and hears from others in the community about the ways they’ve made non-monogamy work for them.

Ruby explores their own gender identity, speaking to Meg-John Barker about how we all go on a journey with gender throughout our lives, and the impacts these conversations are having.

Ruby speaks to two other survivors, Lilly and Andreena, as well as Amy Roch from Galop. They discuss the realities of processing abuse, and how we move forwards in our lives, work, and relationships.
EPISODE 8.
Pleasure impacts so many areas of our lives, yet there’s so much shame about the things that bring us pleasure. Ruby talks to Emily Nagoski about what pleasure actually is and the things that might prevent us accessing it.
The Virtual World of Sex Education
I host this documentary for BBC Radio 4 exploring the ever-growing connection between social media and sex education, a topic I’m passionate about. I spoke to teenagers about how social media can fill in the gaps left by traditional (i.e. crap) sex education, parents about the concerns they have when their children learn about sex and relationships online, and experts who address what can happen when young people are denied comprehensive and inclusive sex ed. The show was one of Radio 4’s Top Picks and was selected to be featured on the Radio 4 podcast ‘Seriously’.
Contributors: Ben Hurst from Beyond Equality, Professor Jessica Ringrose, Eliza Bell from Brook, Genevieve Collister Brown, Dr Tanaya Narendra, Sophia Smith-Galer and Melissa Pintor Carnagey from Sex Positive Families.

Anthems
A collection of original manifestos, speeches, stories, poems and rallying cries written and voiced by exceptional women, that celebrate and contemplate what it means to be human. Proving that there is more that binds us together than sets us apart.
I was honoured to be included in the first series of Anthems, where I mused on the power of pubes.
