In this episode we will be talking to Jim Haynes.

Jim was born in northern Louisiana and when he was young he spent several years in the oil company town of San Tomé in Venezuela.

In 1956 he served in the US military and stationed with a unit in Scotland. After his service he decided to stay in Edinburgh where he started the first paperback bookshop in Britain called The Paperback Bookshop.

In the 60’s Haynes relocated to London and he became deeply involved in the underground cultural scene, co-funding the alternative paper “International Times”, and launching “Suck” in Amsterdam, a newspaper to promote sexual freedom.

In 1969 he moved to Paris where he taught Media Studies and Sexual Politics for 30 years, and in 1970 he organized the Wet Dreams Festival held in Amsterdam. This festival explored the boundaries between art and porn, voyeurism and participation, exploitation and liberation.

In 2017 Haynes was awarded an honorary PhD from Edinburgh Napier University.
