The 0g-SPOT Podcast

0g Creative, LLC

The 0g-SPOT Podcast is a conversation about sex, intimacy, and what it really means to be human in space. Eric Ingram, a space accessibility advocate and wheelchair user, and Alicia Topolnycky, an intimacy coordinator for 30+ film, TV, and theatre projects, come at the topic from very different angles. That is kind of the point. We talk about the things space agencies do not put in mission briefings. What happens to arousal in microgravity? How does disability change when gravity disappears? What does privacy look like inside a spacecraft? And if millions of people are heading to orbit, are we designing for real humans or just astronauts? It is light. It is curious. Sometimes it is ridiculous. But underneath it all is a real question. If we are expanding into space, how do we bring all of ourselves with us?

    Quickie - May 23, 2026 - Tom Cruising to Orbit

    What would it actually take to film the first intimate scene in space? In this Quickie episode, Eric and Alicia react to reports that Tom Cruise wants to film a movie in orbit that includes an intimacy scene. That raises a much bigger question: How would intimacy coordination even work in microgravity? From actor embodiment and consent to restraint systems, floating camera shots, and the practical realities of movement in zero gravity, this conversation explores the strange intersection of filmmaking, psychology, and space. We get into: • How intimacy coordination changes in microgravity • Consent and embodiment in an unfamiliar environment • Why restraint systems may become necessary • The conflict between cinematic visuals and practical space sex • What the first believable intimate scene in orbit might actually look like Because eventually, somebody is going to film a movie in space. And eventually, that movie is going to include sex. 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/

    Quickie - May 9, 2026 - Erections in Space

    Can humans actually get erections in space? Apparently… yes. In this Quickie episode, Eric and Alicia react to an astronaut’s firsthand account of waking up aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery with what he described as an “intense” erection in microgravity. From NASA’s historical discomfort around discussing sex in orbit to the physics of thrusting in zero gravity, this conversation goes from hilarious to surprisingly scientific very quickly. We get into: The astronaut memoir that confirmed erections in space Why NASA historically avoided conversations about sex The physics problem of thrusting in microgravity CPR harnesses and why the research may already exist Why sex in space keeps becoming a real engineering discussionBecause if humans are going to live in orbit, eventually someone is going to ask the obvious questions. And apparently… someone already did. 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/

    Quickie - April 27, 2026 - The Daily Show Talks Sex in Space

    The Daily Show is talking about sex in space. And yes, they basically summoned us. In this first 0g-SPOT Quickie, Eric and Alicia react to a recent Daily Show segment exploring the “Thousand Mile High Club” and the realities of intimacy in microgravity. From a 20-year-old “two suit” designed for space sex to very real questions about fluids, hygiene, and logistics, the conversation quickly goes from comedy to curiosity. We get into: The infamous two-person space suit and whether it actually works What happens to bodily fluids in microgravity Hygiene, clothing, and whether astronauts even do laundry Why this conversation keeps disappearing and coming back Whether we are early… or just weird This is a quick, unfiltered reaction to seeing a mainstream show finally go there. Because the question is not if people are thinking about sex in space. It is why we are still pretending they are not. 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/

    Set Your Phasers to Vibrate Part 2 | 0g-SPOT Ep. 5

    What happens when sex, technology, and identity collide? In Part 2 of Set Your Phasers to Vibrate, Eric and Alicia continue their conversation with Rod Roddenberry and Garrett Wang, moving beyond Star Trek and into the realities we are rapidly approaching. From holodecks to AI companions, this episode explores how technology is reshaping intimacy, desire, and even love itself. Together they discuss: AI generated intimacy and the question of consent Ownership of identity in a world of digital replicas Virtual relationships and emotional attachment Whether love with an AI can be real Why human connection, communication, and presence still matterAs science fiction becomes reality, the questions become less hypothetical. If we can create perfect digital partners, what happens to real relationships? And what does love actually mean when anything can be simulated? 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/

    Set Your Phasers to Vibrate, Pt. 1 | 0g-SPOT Ep. 4

    What does Star Trek get right about sex in space? In this episode of 0g-SPOT, Eric and Alicia take a detour into science fiction to explore how one of the most influential space franchises of all time has handled intimacy, relationships, and human behavior in orbit. They are joined by Rod Roddenberry, son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, and Garrett Wang, known for his role as Ensign Harry Kim on Star Trek: Voyager, for a wide-ranging conversation that blends fandom, philosophy, and some very real questions about the future of space. Together they discuss: How Star Trek approached sex and relationships across different seriesWhy intimacy is often implied but rarely explored directlyThe role of repression and cultural norms in shaping space narrativesIsolation, long duration missions, and what actually happens when humans are stuck together in deep spaceThe holodeck, alien intimacy, and the realities of desire in a sci-fi universe From glowing alien encounters to holodeck fantasies, this episode asks a simple question: If Star Trek imagines the future of humanity, why does it still struggle to show one of the most human parts of us? And more importantly, what does that mean for the real future we are building? 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/

    Max-Q Glow Up: Feeling Sexy in Space | 0g-SPOT Ep. 3

    Looking good in space might be harder than you think. Microgravity changes the human body in strange ways. Fluids shift upward, faces get puffy, hair behaves differently, and traditional showers are not exactly an option. Suddenly the idea of getting ready for a first date in orbit becomes a much bigger challenge. In Max-Q Glow Up: Feeling Sexy in Space, Eric and Alicia are joined by Shalini Vadhera, founder and CEO of Ready Set Jet, to explore confidence, attraction, and personal presentation beyond Earth. Together they discuss: How microgravity changes the way our bodies look and feelGrooming and hygiene in an environment without normal showersThe psychology of confidence and attractionBeauty, self expression, and identity in spaceWhat getting ready for a date might look like in orbit Because if millions of people are heading to space one day, someone is going to have to figure out how to get ready for date night. 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website: https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧 All platforms: https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/

    Let’s Get Physical…In Orbit | 0g-SPOT Ep. 2

    Before we can talk about sex in space, we need to understand what space does to the body. In Let’s Get Physical…in Orbit, aerospace medicine physician Dr. Sheyna Gifford joins us to break down the biological realities of microgravity. We discuss: Space adaptation syndrome (yes, most astronauts vomit)Fluid shifts and “puffy face”Hormonal changes, including testosterone fluctuationsSleep disruption and elevated cortisolGastrointestinal changes in orbitThe stress and privacy constraints of spacecraft environments Space isn’t romantic by default. It’s loud. It’s bright. It’s physiologically disruptive. If intimacy is part of the human experience, these changes matter. This episode builds the biological framework for understanding pleasure, arousal, and connection beyond Earth. 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website:https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧All platforms:https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/ #HumanBodyInSpace #SpaceMedicine #Microgravity #SpaceScience #AstronautHealth #SpacePodcast #FutureOfSpace #LivingInSpace

    Pillars of Creation | 0g-SPOT Podcast Ep. 1

    For more than 60 years, humans have been going to space. We’ve sent engineers. Scientists. Fighter pilots. But we’ve never seriously talked about sex. In Pillars of Creation, the inaugural episode of 0g-SPOT, Eric (space accessibility advocate and wheelchair user) and Alicia (intimacy coordinator and sex educator) introduce the foundation of this podcast: If millions of people are going to orbit in the coming decades, we need to design for the whole human. We explore: Why space has remained clinical and desexualizedThe 62-mile boundary that technically makes you an astronautWhy intimacy belongs in the future space economyDisability and accessibility beyond EarthThe cultural blind spots around pleasure in orbit This episode lays the conceptual groundwork for the series. Because if we’re building civilization in space, sex is not a side topic. It’s infrastructure. 🔗 Listen & Follow 🌐 Website:https://www.0gspot.com/ 🎧All platforms:https://linktr.ee/0gspot 📺YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@0g-SPOT-Podcast 🎧Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6aJdCouHmwUodu1sNLEOZZ 🍎Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-0g-spot-podcast/id1876931692 📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the0gspot/ #SexInSpace #SpaceTourism #ZeroGravity #SpacePodcast #FutureOfSpace #Microgravity #HumanityInSpace #NewSpace
