Savage Lovecast

Savage Love, Dan's sex-advice column, first appeared in the The Stranger, Seattle’s alternative weekly, in 1991. In 1996 Dan launched the Savage Lovecast, a weekly, call-in advice podcast. It is now one of iTunes top 50 podcasts. Dan’s graphic, pragmatic, and humorous advice has changed the cultural conversation about monogamy, gay rights, religiosity, and politics.

Dan Savage is an author, a sex-advice columnist, a podcaster, a pundit, and a public speaker.

Why we like it

“When I write an advice column or record a podcast, what I’m doing is creating this store of common sense in the heads of the listeners who didn’t ask the question. Because often what happens is: someone hears an answer, it doesn’t apply to them at that moment, but then they find themselves in a similar circumstance three or six months later and it comes back to them. That’s what advice columns and podcasts do: implant memories of what you do when x is happening to you.” 

Dan Savage’s advice is sound, with the situations relatable. His approach is consistent but covers a diverse range of topics and is worth a long-term commitment.

The Sexually Liberated Woman 

The Sexually Liberated Woman podcast is an ongoing sex positive dialogue that highlights, celebrates, and encourages the sexually liberated woman—not just the idea of her, but her true-blue sexual empowerment in the flesh. It features vulnerable conversations and laid back discussions with incredible erotic advocates and sexually wise souls.

Ev’Yan Whitney originally created Sex Love Liberation so that she could “have a place to chronicle her journey into sexual healing and awakening”. Since then, it’s transformed into a safe haven for other women who want to find peace within their sexualities and get their footing as erotic, sensual, self-empowered beings. Her purpose is to work with women intimately to help guide them into their own sexual awakenings and recover the lost connection with their desires.

Why we like it

The Sexually Liberated Woman is intentional, empowering and holds true to its promise to share vulnerable conversations and in-depth explanations into Ev’Yan Whitney’s journey into sexual liberation.

The Heart

The Heart is a podcast and audio art project about intimacy and humanity, focused on creating culture that challenges the way that we think about love, sex, and gender.

Kaitlin Prest, host of the Heart, 28, started working with audio 7 years ago when she joined an experimental, erotic college radio show called Audio Smut in Montreal. In 2014, Prest and Kaboli landed a deal with Radiotopia, and have been steadily climbing the iTunes podcast charts to nearly 50-60,000 people downloading the show per episode.

Why we like it

The Heart just feels good to listen to. The sound clips, transitions, narrations and overall flow of episodes are distinct from other podcasts but are not isolating in its eccentricity.
