Sex with Strangers

Love how everything is tackled with an open mind and love how he try’s to get a point of view from different views of life

The host has a unique way of speaking that is painfully slow and awkwardly stilted, which is not great for audio entertainment. His questions and comments are sometimes surprisingly naive or unsupportive of his guests for a show about sex, betraying his lack of knowledge and experience with the subject. Regardless, his episodes are imaginative and often his subjects aren’t covered by any other podcast with which I’m familiar and his guests are always interesting. However, he introduced politics at the end of a recent episode and the problem with that is he reveals he’s extremely bad at politics. He wholeheartedly believes the neoliberal corporate Democrat propaganda, hook, line and sinker. I don’t blame anyone for getting politics wrong, this nation’s political system is designed for just that, to keep the population believing lies. As a leftist, I’m used to well-meaning people regurgitating capitalist nonsense that was fed to them since birth by oligarchs. But I barely buy him as someone who’s passingly knowledgeable about sex who’s hosting a sex show. I would never choose to listen to him hosting a show about politics. Introducing politics to his sex show was a major mistake. I have no doubt his uninformed opinions persuaded exactly nobody to change their minds about any of the topics he raised, so what was the point? It was just another neoliberal, mediocre, straight white man telling us he knows better than we do. I’m sure other neoliberals loved hearing it. If that’s the only demographic he wants listening to his podcast, that’s his prerogative. If not, I’d suggest he not alienate the rest of his listeners.

Mind-expanding, fun and erotic.

Thank you for doing this show and calling out the importance of reproductive freedom.
