Heather Berg is a feminist scholar who studies labor in the porn industry. We sat down in my living room to talk about unions, labor rights, and when sex is real.

Hanging out with art rapper Open Mike Eagle. We were both in our sweatpants because we're that chill. We talk about music, politics and he asks me if I'm a love addict...

Talking with Sarah Banet-Weiser, professor and director of the Annenberg School of Journalism at USC. She just wrote a book, Empowered: pop feminism and pop misogyny right at the same moment that the #metoo movement has gained radical momentum.

My old pal Tommy Pistol came over to talk about porn from the inside point of view, sex scandals, celebrity, and limits. Mostly we just laughed a lot. A really fun episode. I also include a clip of me joking about Louis CK months ago, because I'm tired of this no one said anything narrative. Miss me with that shit.

Tommy is an award winning porn performer. He's hosted the AVNs and written and directed a few mainstream projects as well. He's on of the most beloved figures in the industry because he's a really nice guy and he can actually act. And he's really very funny.

My guest this week is Conner Habib, and we set out to discuss exactly what consent means and why we need better language around sex and sexual assault. Conner is a lifelong sexworker and LGBTQ advocate, a porn performer, former boardmember of APAC, the adult performer advocacy group, a lecturer and a writer. Conner has some provocative views on consent and his interest in the occult and radical politics allows him to take less conventional approaches to analysis that always blow me away. He’s an all around thoughtful person.

Conner has his own webseries, Against Everyone, that you can find on YouTube. You can follow him on Twitter @ConnerHabib.

If you enjoy the podcast, or my Twitter feed or want to support the standup but can’t make it out to shows. If you’d like to help me fund a webseries that I’m trying to pull together, or you just want to help fund me finishing my novel, you can support the podcast and all my creative endeavors on my patreon, Patreon.com/SovereignSyre. If just 1/12th of my Twitter followers offered a dollar a month in support I’d be able to reach all of the financial goals to manifest all the projects I want to get done. Special shout out to Scott Masters, Owen Crabtree, and Christa Walker, long time, very generous supporters of the podcast. Thank you so much for your continued generosity.

This week I talked to screenwriter Michael Varrati. Horror movies and the intersection of queer culture are his wheelhouse and we go in. We talk about Mother!, if Get Out was actually good or not, and why zombies are so popular right now.
