I loved the episode with Sarah in Wanderland. I am bisexual and love that you addressed the misconceptions people have about that. I also learned so new terminology. It was interesting, educational and fun to listen to.
I started listening when I saw they had an interview with my favorite author Elizabeth Stephens. And then I was hooked. Great guests topics and conversations. I really appreciate a podcast that talk smut in an intelligent and fascinating way.
