America’s Red-Light Past: The Real Story of Prostitution

Step inside the hidden world of history’s most notorious brothels—from Pompeii’s erotic graffiti to Victorian America’s red-light parlors. In this Skoob Podcast, host Madison Reed takes you on an AI powered journey through the surprising truths of the world’s oldest profession. Discover how the Romans regulated prostitution with licenses and taxes, why sacred temples in Egypt may have blurred the line between devotion and desire, and how 19th-century America created legalized red-light districts like Storyville.

This AI podcast isn’t just about sex and commerce—it’s about power, survival, morality, and the struggles societies face when confronting human desire. As a short podcast designed for busy listeners, “The Story of Us” reveals what no one talks about: the hidden history that still shapes our present.
