Overall a fun listen, but is ultimately a 6 episode pitch for one of the hosts' onlyfans. Despite claiming to want to investigate all sides of the industry, they only speak to those creators who have benefitted financially. Intimacy as a commodity would be interesting to explore from those who have been trafficked, or women whose pictures have been stolen or creators who have abusive managers. Because one host is financially invested in presenting OF as morally acceptable, they can't dig in more... more
The series about OnlyFans is essentially listening for prudes like me with their heads in the sand thinking about fascism and wars, while young people are handing themselves over to worlds we're ignoring.
I was really looking forward to this one. Although the personal stories are interesting, there is a thread throughout which excuses abhorrent, devious behaviour of men (usually against their wives) and packages it up as an innocent fetish that these poor lonesome men just want to explore. At one point they comment that maybe men just like to have their ‘privacy’ but that their wives wouldn’t like that... the host compared it to a time he enjoyed going to play poker in vegas on his own after his ... more
The research and reporting in this podcast are excellent but it disqualifies itself by the fact that the co-creator and co-narrator is herself an OF creator, portraying herself as the preverbal “stripper with a heart of gold”. Feels like an elaborate whitewashing in the end.
This podcast is saying the least. I’m not especially worldly, and yet nothing about this has surprised or provoked me. Not clear what it’s trying to actually say about the subject.

The show probes big-picture culture, power, and media through deep-dive profiles of public figures and pivotal moments in modern American life. Across recent episodes, listeners get investigative storytelling that blends archival reporting, insider interviews, and nuanced context—from political trajectories and media archetypes to the ethics of public narratives. A notable strength is the curator's ability to pull in diverse voices—from family and insiders to producers—to shed new light on famous figures and cultural moments.
