• Cancel Culture in the Pole Industry: The Damage We Don’t See
    Mar 23 2026

    Cancel culture isn’t just a buzzword — it’s happening inside our own community.

    In this episode, we unpack the pile-on mentality that’s quietly shaping the pole world. The divide between strippers and pole dancers. Studios tearing each other down. Online attacks over pricing, opinions, and perceived mistakes.

    We’re sharing real, anonymous stories from people who’ve been targeted, silenced, and pushed out — not for doing the wrong thing, but for speaking up.

    Because when outrage spreads faster than truth, it’s not about accountability anymore.

    It’s about who shouts the loudest.

    Featuring Frances, who opens up about an incident, this is a conversation many people won’t want to have — but one that needs to happen.

    This episode, we went deep into Instagram and uncovered some of the most talented pole dancers you’ve probably never heard of… yet.

    We’re talking pole prodigies — artists with under 10K followers who are delivering next-level lines, strength, creativity, and performance. And the best part? They have no idea we’re about to shout them out 👀

    If you’re looking for fresh inspiration, new favourites, or just want to stay ahead of the curve in the pole world — this is your episode.

    We also had a surprise drop-in from Maggie, the producer behind the upcoming Australian Pole Championships documentary series, who gave us a little update (and yes, we were very excited).

    Plus, we chat:

    • Throwback tricks (including Elizabeth’s spatchcock era)
    • Creative combos and evolving trick trends
    • What actually makes a pole dancer stand out right now
    • A few unfiltered life tangents… because obviously

    Go follow these dancers, hype them up, and remember — you heard it here first.

  • The Red District: From the Clubs to Building a Studio That Actually Gets It
    Mar 4 2026

    Send a text

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of drug and alcohol abuse, violence, and experiences within strip clubs that some listeners may find confronting.

    In this episode of Pole Obsession, we sit down with Red, the founder of Canberra’s newest pole studio, The Red District.

    Red shares her journey through the club industry and how those experiences ultimately led her to open her own studio. She speaks openly about the realities of working in clubs, from the highs to the darker moments, including stories involving alcohol, theft, and violence that can occur behind the scenes.

    We also talk about the moment that pushed her to build something of her own. After running shows and feeling unsupported in a previous studio environment, Red realised that if she wanted a space where dancers from the club industry felt truly welcomed and understood, she would need to create it herself.

    The Red District was born from that idea, a studio built with a deeper understanding of the industry and the people who come from it.

    This episode explores the many different paths into pole. Not everyone arrives the same way, dancers, performers, athletes, and club industry workers all bring different experiences to the pole community.

    A raw and honest conversation about authenticity, creating safe spaces, and building the studio she couldn’t find.

  • The Cost of Trusting the Wrong Person
    Feb 19 2026

    Send a text

    Content warning: This episode contains discussion of physical abuse, financial abuse, controlling relationships, drug use, smoking, vaping and prescription medication. Listener discretion advised.

    In this deeply personal episode, Felix opens up about her past relationship and how emotional, physical and financial abuse impacted both her personal life and her studio.
    We talk about what it’s like when business and relationships collide, how trust can be manipulated, and the realities of rebuilding after everything feels like it’s been taken from you.
    The conversation also touches on the role substances, prescription medication, smoking and vaping can play in people’s lives and relationships, and how these environments can affect mental health, decision-making and safety.
    This episode is raw, honest and ultimately about resilience, boundaries, and finding your way back to yourself after being broken down by someone you trusted.

  • Over 20 Pole Studios Closed in Australia in 2025. Why Isn’t Anyone Talking About It?
    Jan 6 2026

    Send us a text

    In 2025, over 20 pole studios closed across Australia.

    Not during COVID.

    Not during lockdowns.

    That year.

    This episode was recorded in late 2025, as the scale of these closures was still unfolding.

    In this episode of Pole Obsession, Felix and Elizabeth have an honest, necessary conversation about what’s really happening behind the scenes of pole studios in Australia — and why this moment matters more than many people realise.

    We talk about:

    • Why so many studios may have closed at an unprecedented rate
    • What’s changed in the pole landscape for studio owners and students
    • How we can make pole more exciting, accessible, and genuinely inclusive
    • Practical business insights from two industry veterans
    • What we would do differently if we were opening a studio in 2026
    • And what we hope students feel when they walk into a pole class today

    This isn’t a doom episode.

    It’s about reflection, responsibility, and rebuilding — because pole doesn’t survive without community, and community doesn’t survive without care.

    If you care about the future of pole, this conversation matters.

  • Inside the Australian Pole Championships: Closets, Chaos, Arena Energy, Tangents & Gratitude
    Dec 24 2025

    Send us a text

    It’s a big, slightly chaotic, and very festive episode of Pole Obsession🎄✨

    Felix and Elizabeth break down the Australian Pole Championships — from the standout winners to the place-getters — and talk about what it was really like hosting the event in an in-the-round theatre arena.

    As always, things don’t stay on track for long. The conversation takes a turn when Felix and Elizabeth recount their night at a strip club together — Elizabeth’s first ever strip club experience in Australia — including what surprised them, what they saw, and how it all unfolded.

    We also revisit Elizabeth’s dating life (because of course we do), chat about competitors and the culture of competition, dig into live streaming, and reflect on the fact that Pole Obsession has officially been running for over a year now — which still feels wild.

    A heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s listened, supported, and obsessed along with us this year. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a fabulous end to the year ❤️🎙️
