Heard this interesting interview with an octogenarian and, although from London, reflects my own experiences with sex workers here. I am a fair bit younger than the gentleman but can understand where he's coming from.
I think this will only last for thirty days so hear it whilst it's still there,the excerpt only lasts for about 16 minutes but is a good counter to the Justine type interview.
Also, the reason the gent contacted the BBC was because he heard an interview with a disabled man who lost his virginity at a brothel in Spain. His mother, father and uncles helped him attend and the guy was just blown away with the experience. Heard the interview myself on R4 P.M. but don't know where that is as a podcast.

Excellent interview!

Interviews with clients are few and far between. It's even rarer to hear one who stands up for his own rights and needs. He dealt with the trafficking question well, acknowledging that it exists while being quite assertive that he hasn't seen any evidence in his own experiences.

A very interesting man. I particularly likes how he talks about how much hypocrisy there is regarding sexual needs.
Also, it's interesting that he doesn't fit the stereotype of a client at all. He's well spoken, clearly intelligent and was faithful to his wife for 40 years - not the stereotype of a ,an who just can't keep it in his pants

Got good reaction on twitter regarding the link posted by OP.

Even a reaction from Rachel Moran

I am sure it is hard to see things actually changed and escorts are happy in this job , giving themselves a better life, without pressure ..

There was a young sounding wheelchair guy interviewed by Miriam o'callaghan about visiting escorts this morning on rte radio one. Was in and out of it so didnt get the full story. I guess someone could search and put up the link.
