The Shift episodes

  • ep 15 Shayne Smith: A freaky geek on Shabari, BDSM and other kinks.
    We had Shayne Smith, the host of the Freaky Geeks Podcast on. What a lovely guest. He was so much fun to chat to and told us a lot of cool stuff about kinks. His co-host is into Shabari and we chatted about that and other BDSM stuff. We also chatted about kinks in general and some of the word stuff his listeners send him. We revisited one of our fav topics: pubic hair. We also chatted about the perils of falling in love with your co-host. The freaky geeks podcast is all about the marriage of nerd culture and sex and we got all into that too.

  • RIP Eileen Bishop
    My mother died today. I wasn't going to bother putting up an episode because it felt weird to put up some chat about dating or STDs the day you have said goodbye to your mom. But in the end I just felt like sharing with everyone how it feels the night your mother has passed away while it was fresh and raw. I am so tired but it was a nice distraction from the whole thing. Thanks for listening. And Katie don't be mad at me for doing this without checking with you.

  • An Irishman in New York
    Katie and Des give their sex toy reviews as promised in the last ep and then they are joined by Colm Tyrrel, who is an Irish comic based in NY. Colm is our first male guest  and its a fun chat about how Colm found American women different to Irish women. We also chat about how we feel about being dominated or being submissive. There is a quick bit about STDs but we will be covering that in more detail and in a more serious way in future eps.
