Ashton is joined by Robert Rosen, an author and former publisher and editor of some of the most prominent pornographic publications of the twentieth century. They have a wide ranging interview detailing the history of pornography (which is the subject of Mr. Rosen’s book “Beaver Street: A history of modern pornography”) and discuss topics such as: Mr. Rosen’s experience in the industry and how it has evolved; the role pornography played in politics and the fights over free speech; how cancel culture and anti- first amendment rhetoric changed from being a primarily right-wing phenomenon to a woke progressive left-wing phenomenon; the connection between Marvel Comics, Mario Puzzo’s “The Godfather” and the pornography industry; the current state of porn and its effect on society; John Lennon’s final days; and much more.
