Huh? Yup. You read that correctly.


In this show, episode #4, I chat it up with Cara Heuser, a high-risk Obstetrician in Salt Lake City, Utah whose passion is pole dancing - more specifically, using pole fitness and pole dance to exercise but also to express herself and find some deeper meaning in that expression.
