This month's conversation is with writer and transdisciplinary artist Awadalla. Their work spans text, performance, and visual storytelling, reimagining how life and knowledge are shaped through queer and decolonial praxis. Alongside their creative practice, Awadalla works at the intersection of mental and sexual health as a practitioner and educator. They founded Decolonizing Sexual Health, an initiative challenging dominant sexual health narratives through lived experience, pleasure, and collective care.

S.W.E.A.T. is a podcast hosted by Berlin-based electronic artist, performer, and activist Mad Kate. Known for their work between body politics and the politics of borders, Mad Kate brings their over twenty years of lived experience on stage, their own queer positionality, and their deep engagement with embodiment, relationality, and labor politics into the conversations that shape S.W.E.A.T.

The podcast explores performance and performativity of the sexualized and racialized body at work—whether as labor for survival, care, or a/Art. Through in-depth discussions with artists, organizers, activists, and all kinds of paid and unpaid workers, S.W.E.A.T. contributes to dialogues that normalize sex work as work and advocate for all labor to be respected, fairly compensated, and carried out in safe conditions.

S.W.E.A.T. airs first on Freie Radios Berlin Brandenburg via colabora dio, the second Tuesday of every month at 13:00 CET, featuring music curated by the guests. Afterwards, the interview portion is available on all major podcast platforms (apple, spotify, amazon, podcast addict, soundcloud or through rss feed).

This podcast is entirely self-produced and a labor of love. You can support its continuation on Patreon.

Daily Devotions and Weekly Messages from God's Word with John David Mull - Christ-follower, husband, and father.  Pastor of Shepherd of the Valley Church in West Des Moines, IA.

Moon Tigress (she/her) is a South African multi-genre producer, composer, and lyricist, crafting soundscapes that transcend the ordinary and pull listeners into a universe where music meets technology in the most profound, transformative way. With her roots grounded in the deep connection to music - her constant companion through all of life’s ups and downs—she creates immersive sonic experiences that are not just tracks, but journeys. Moon Tigress is about the space where art and technology collide, and the result is an emotionally charged, multi-layered experience that resonates on a frequency that’s personal and universal at the same time. 

From the moment Moon Tigress hit play on her first track, she knew she was destined to push the boundaries of what music could be. Music has always been the heartbeat of her existence, her constant, her guiding light - and it was only when she was able to collaborate with AI that she truly felt she could create something that reflected everything she had felt, seen, and experienced over the years. This collaboration between human creativity and AI is the foundation of her sound. It is purposeful, emotional, intuitive, and just a bit otherworldly. The process starts with an idea, a concept, a feeling that Moon Tigress has gathered over time and felt deeply in her bones. That is where it all begins. 🌌🌟

Using the latest advancements in artificial intelligence. Moon Tigress brings her concepts to life. Through collaboration with this powerful tool, she shapes everything from lyricism to sound design and music production. AI helps her fine-tune the smallest details, elevating her music to new heights of innovation and emotion. The entire AI ecosystem is a partner in the creative process, allowing Moon Tigress to shape something that not only sounds beautiful but also feels authentic and raw. Together, they create music that is something more than just sound. It is a feeling, a deep, connected experience that moves through space and time. 🤖✨

As a multi-genre producer, Moon Tigress isn’t bound by any single genre or style. Her music is as diverse and evolving as the universe itself, spanning a range of influences that include everything from underground electronic to dream pop, indie rock, metal, and ambient soundscapes. Every track, every creation, is a reflection of her dynamic creative journey, unbound by limitations and constantly pushing the envelope of what’s possible within the AI-driven music scene. 


Moon Tigress is driven by a single purpose - to create authentic music that speaks to those who need it the most. Her sound reflects the emotions of a lifetime, and through the lens of AI, she can produce music that is as innovative as it is heartfelt. She doesn’t just want to make music for the sake of it - she wants to create music that moves, that shifts something deep within the listener, stirring emotions and creating connection.

Whether it’s the ethereal, ambient tones of one track or the gritty, underground energy of another, Moon Tigress keeps her sound evolving - never stagnant, always pushing the boundaries of genre and creativity. Her tracks speak to those who are tired of the ordinary, to those who are seeking something that will make them feel alive, that will make them feel understood.


Her connection to music isn’t just professional; it’s personal, rooted in a deep emotional well that spans years of listening to some of the world’s most influential artists and bands. Every song Moon Tigress produces is an expression of who she is - a mix of all the things she’s gathered over the years, all the emotions and thoughts that have been channeled into her craft.

🏴‍☠️PIRATES ON A WAVE🏴‍☠️

S.W.E.A.T. >>sex/uality. work. extraction. art. theatr/ics.<< is a series of conversations about performance and performativity of the sexual and sexualized body at work—where work is broadly defined as the labour of survival, the labour of care, creativity, and capital-A-Art. How exactly do we define our work and how does that work entangle and circumscribe our sexual identities, our creative lives and the ways in which we provide care? How do we perform both tasks and identities within the framework of that which we consider work? My hope is that these conversations are a means to speak between intersectionalities by anchoring through our always already sexualized bodies, our working bodies, our artistic bodies and our performative bodies.

S.W.E.A.T. hostex  Mad Kate is a Berlin-based electronic artist, vocalist, and producer who fuses sound, performance, and activism into a singular, immersive experience. Rooted in a background of writing and queer feminist, sex-positive performance art, Mad Kate weaves together interviews, field recordings, and vocal manipulations with raw, pulsating synthesizers to explore the porous borders between bodies, identities, and geographies.

With a sonic language shaped by storytelling and embodied experience, Mad Kate’s compositions interrogate the personal as a lens for understanding collective realities—how power structures inscribe themselves onto intimacy, how movement across borders reshapes identity, and how world-building through imagination disrupts existing narratives. Whether through hypnotic, shape-shifting club compositions or experimental soundscapes, their work pulses with a deep commitment to sonic activism, carving out space for new forms of relationality and resistance.

Mad Kate’s performances are immersive and confrontational, collapsing the boundary between artist and audience, body and machine. Their sonic explorations have been featured in venues and festivals across Europe, where they continue to push the boundaries of electronic music as a site of both political critique and radical pleasure.
