In 1973, Penthouse Magazine launched VIVA…  a glossy erotic magazine, but this time: for women. Viva was published by a porn king but staffed by – drumroll – a bunch of feminist writers and editors. 

On the new podcast Stiffed from iHeartPodcasts and Crooked Media, host Jennifer Romolini, goes behind the scenes with Viva staffers to find out what they were trying to say with their feminist porn magazine…and whether they were doomed to fail from the beginning. Listen to Stiffed on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/867-stiffed-110547551/
