Sexual intimacy and romantic relationships are a huge part of most people's lives, and yet when it comes to practical guidance on how to navigate either, we're given very little to go on.
Enter... The Good Sex Project.
A podcast about good sex, good relationships - and how to have them.
This enlightening podcast series is hosted by Melody Thomas, the brilliant creator and host of award-winning sexuality podcast BANG!
Using intimate interviews with New Zealanders from all ages and backgrounds, Melody helps to guide listeners to a deeper understanding of their own sexual and romantic lives, as well as the wider societal contexts impacting their choices.
The Good Sex Project is made with the support of New Zealand on Air.
If you want to get in touch with Melody or the team, please send us a message on Instagram - @goodsexproject - or email goodsexproject@gmail.com. We love to hear from you! Especially if you have a story of your own to share.

Who The F**k Is Alice?
In this bonus episode, we meet the two Alices who share their later-in-life coming out stories. There's Alice Soper, one of New Zealand’s foremost voices on women’s rugby. She’d always told herself she was super straight - that is, until her OE to London changed everything she thought she knew. And comedian and writer Alice Snedden, funny, irreverent and in denial about her love life - until she wasn’t.

Are You Empowered?
What's the point in sex positivity if the sex we're having is bad? We speak with South Auckland musician Pati AF, who grew up a "holy girl" in the church before kicking off her "hoe phase" - by claiming her own body and sexuality back with explicit Instagram posts and random dating app hook-ups. She was empowered. So why wasn’t she having a great time?
