Customer Reviews
Perfect
The hosts have an easy and honest chemistry that elevates their considerable insight, experience, and and character to create discussions that playback almost as scripted storytelling; shifting from comedic to serious to expository with utter grace. The quality of this production is a proud statement from for our community at large, and I believe that the genuine care these men have for what they do will foster links of love and further reduce the constructs that divide us. Cheers gentlemen, lucky ya have anchors that are more that just four exceedingly handsome queen bees. :)
Chems and Kink
I listened to this on my evening walk. It was great. How about a series about different kinks. Like a one or two an episode with someone really seriously into that kink. One the dominant and one the sub and get their take on what’s involved, what goes through their minds and how their bodies react. I’ve known about getting stuff out there but only as a person DJing in a bar seeing only moments of things at a time.
Thanks for your podcast!!

Hosts are disrespectful of guests
I was so excited to find the episode about the intersection of queer and kink. I had high hopes for this conversation. However, the host repeatedly misgendered the guest, and that is simply unacceptable. It’s proof that the kink community has a long way to go before it is as inclusive and open as it pretends to be.
