Podcasting: Talking Dirty on Your iPod
Quote: “You don’t need big breasts or big advertisers,” says Violet Blue, the host of “Open Source Sex.” “It’s the ultimate democratic tool for sex education.”
Hells, yeah! I actually said that.
Okay, and here’s the thing: I’m #9 in podcasts in iTunes (and totally freaking out about it), above ESPN and Adam Curry (who will spank me, I’m sure). So if I’m in the top ten podcasts in iTunes, why won’t they put up my “album” artwork? It’s just a picture of my lips and a microphone. Sex ghetto, I’m telling you. Sex will never be treated normally or seen in a healthy light until these outdated ways of thinking about it die like the dinosaurs. They just toss it all in the “porn” dustbin, without even realizing that to do a porn podcast, you need to have substance and good writing, you need to entertain and keep an audience, two things that porn utterly lacks. Like, when was the last time you saw a well-written porn film, or heard porn movie dialogue that didn’t make you cringe? Podcasting is a whole new genre, and until iPod syncs photos and video with pictures, thus creating a visually distracting medium, we’ll have quality sex content in adult podcasts. Until then, anyway…
