Platforms in the kink community, just like any other community, come with a great amount of power and influence. Whether that platform is a party venue, discord server, or even a podcast, anyone running those platforms has access to power. This proximity to power means that they play a crucial role in how safe and inclusive the kink community actually is. Join us as we voice our perspectives on this topic, as well as dive deep into the concept of "the missing stair" when it comes to 'less savory' members of our community.

First and foremost - "Sex work is real work!" - and that's just as true in the kink world as it is in the non-kink world. To help us discuss this further, we interview Sir-Brat-to-You (they/it), a fellow kinkster and an active sex-worker, to discuss some of the joys and difficulties that they face in both their work and in the kink community.

Whether someone has mobility difficulties, sensory issues, or even an "invisible disability" such as diabetes or chronic pain, kink can and should be adapted to accommodate.

Despite how things appear on the internet and in adult video content, explorations of kink are not just reserved for young 20-30-Somethings looking to express themselves and explore. Entering into and practicing kink as an older adult is significantly more common than many may think, and we had the honor of interviewing KatNip (they/them) - a local kinkster that considers themselves qualifying for the "Older in Kink" title . Join us as we learn more about their experience.

Bondage is one of the most practiced kinks in the world - so much so that it comes first in the acronym for "BDSM". Rope Play is a sub category of bondage, and has a strong following within many kink communities. To help us explore this area of play, we interview a local Queer rope enthusiast, teacher, and performer to find out more.

Like many other communities, kink communities do not exist in a vacuum. Because of this, concepts such as race (and even gender) can have an impact on the type of experience that someone may have when interacting with their kink community. To help us explore this reality, we interview a Black Queer Femme kinkster from our local kink community to discuss how race has and has not impact their experience.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion regarding sexual assault and abuse. Listener discretion is advised

We've all had times where a cis-man says or does something that just...leaves us confounded and confused. On this episode, the trio interviews Jammy (they/them) as we try to answer the question "why ARE men_" fill in the blank. Join us as we shoot the shit and talk some trash. In this light-hearted episode, we do cover several serious subjects of social justice. 

Note: Mango would like to note that this episode pertains to capital M Men, and not necessarily to the men in her life.
