In Teil 1 habt Ihr den Cast unseres BDSM Afterwork Meet & Plays kennengelernt: Nina, die wegen Ihrer Vorliebe fürs Peitschen & Fesseln aus der örtlichen Mütter-Gruppe geflogen ist. Lars, der Mann mit dem prallgefüllten Spielzeugkoffer. Olli mit der Hundemaske. Und wir haben gelernt, dass BDSM auf einer emotionalen Ebene viel mehr sein kann, als Haue & Aua. Wir wollten da kaum weg, aber Anne's Parkschein war abgelaufen.Diesmal gehen wir mehr in die Praxis und checken, wie man sich vor einem Sub-Drop schützt, warum Aftercare so wichtig ist und welche Artikel man aus einem Einrichtungshaus für den nächsten BDSM-Abend mitnehmen könnte.Außerdem sprechen wir mit Dr. Kae Eichel. Kae hat in Psychologie promoviert und arbeitet an der Uni Greifswald. Kae bietet als queer- und BDSM-freundliche Ansprechperson Workshops und Beratung zu diesen Themen an. Wir sprechen mit Kae darüber, wo die Grenze zwischen BDSM und tatsächlichem Machtmissbrauch verläuft und warum BDSM entgegen vieler Vorurteile nicht mit Grenzüberschreitungen gleichzusetzen ist.So, dann sind wir jetzt alle stabil gewappnet für den Einstieg in die Szene – wenn Interesse besteht. Und das alles ohne sich nochmal 125 Minuten durch 50 Shades Of Grey quälen zu müssen. Amen!Habt Ihr Feedback oder uns doll lieb?

Hardcore Con, the Shoebox Scam, and How Fear Fuels Fraud with Johnathan WaltonKelly interviews returning guest Johnathan Walton about cons, victims, and his podcast Hardcore Con. They discuss how anyone can be scammed, especially those who believe it can't happen to them, and how multiple “red flags” compound; Kelly also describes adopting a family “code word” to thwart scams. Walton breaks down the “shoebox” case in which a financial journalist was manipulated by spoofed calls and fake FTC/CIA agents into withdrawing $50,000 and handing it to a stranger, explaining how scammers use fear, emotion, and sunk cost fallacy. They touch on jury-duty and tech-support scams, Walton's efforts to help victims build compelling cases for police, and his series Cocaine Air. Walton previews Hardcore Con episodes on Brittany Murphy, arguing a con artist husband isolated her and withheld medical care, and teases an upcoming episode about an Amazon-related blackmail scheme.Previous link to Johnathan's first appearance: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2pOZAQ9W8rRfURhyfQVJd8https://www.buzzsprout.com/1261361/episodes/17653295-even-fraud-has-a-silver-lining-with-johnathan-walton01:37 No Victim Shaming04:03 Safe Word 05:04 Hardcore Con Tease05:46 Red Flags Checklist06:44 Shoebox Scam Breakdown08:24 Fear And Sunk Cost12:55 Jury Duty Scam15:42 Helping Victims Report16:52 Cocaine Air Update23:59 Beak Wetting Explained25:07 Gender And Motives27:59 Power Over Money28:19 Breadcrumb Setup Trap30:30 Fraud Crumbs Tactics32:00 Desperation And TJ32:48 Honeypots And Raids34:18 What To Watch Now35:41 Sharper And Silent Scams37:25 Corporate Gossip And Frank40:34 Hardcore Con Brittany Murphy44:13 Legal Fraud And Nonprofits47:08 Amazon Blackmail Episode49:06 Handyman Escort Underworld51:45 Books That Stop Cons53:13 Final Thanks And Wrap

Lack, Leder, Peitschen, Seile, Handschellen, Seilzüge – BDSM hat offensichtlich wenig mit dem gemütlichen Beischlafritual zu tun, das geübte Paare am Sonntagabend zwischen Traumschiff und Tiefschlafphase abhaken.Auf der einen Seite ist die Vorstellung, sich kopfüber an einen Baum ketten zu lassen natürlich wenig attraktiv für jemanden, der schon über ne Krankschreibung nachdenkt, wenn er sich den Gaumen an einem heißen Ofenbaguette verbrannt hat.Auf der anderen Seite will man da doch mal wenigstens durchs Schlüsselloch gucken.Das Flexikon war beim BDSM-Stammtisch. „Afterwork Meet & Play“.Ein Austausch unter Doms und Subs, Bunnys, Brats und Neueinsteiger :innen, anschließend praktische Übungen am Gerät.Anne und Steffi waren vom Scheitel bis zur Sohle auf erotische Grenzerfahrung eingestellt. Am Ende gabs noch mehr: Einen Einblick in eine Gemeinschaft, in der Vertrauen und Offenheit das oberste Gebot ist, die Erkenntnis, dass der Dresscode Lack und Leder gar nicht verpflichtend ist (man kann seine Sub auch in der Fleeceweste verschnüren), dass BDSM keine Altersgrenze nach oben kennt, und vor allen Dingen, dass Sex und BDSM bei einigen fein säuberlich getrennt voneinander stattfinden.Hier die üblichen wissenschaftlichen Quellen:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28781214/What to Understand About People Who Enjoy BDSM and Kink Psychology Todayhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1743609515304471?utmUnd unser Podcasttipp: Zeitkapsel von NDR Kulturhttps://www.ardsounds.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:5077147baa75436f/flexikon@ndr.de(00:00:00) Intro(00:01:21) Besuch beim BDSM-Stammtisch – Vorstellung des Abends (00:02:37) Kurzdefinition BDSM & persönliche Vorurteile der Moderatorinnen (00:06:44) Wissenschaftliche Fakten & Verbreitung von BDSM in der Bevölkerung (00:10:00) Ankunft im BDSM-Club – erste Eindrücke & Beschreibung der Location (00:12:00) Newcomer-Runde: Vorstellung der Teilnehmenden (00:19:27) Führung durch den Club – Räume, Ausstattung & Atmosphäre (00:23:04) Wie haben die Teilnehmenden ihren Kink entdeckt?

Back at it again with the second episode of The Safe Word, where real conversations driven by you—the listeners—are unpacked by seasoned miners with decades of experience. This raw, unscripted discussion tackles some of the most debated—and often misunderstood—topics in mining safety, cutting through policy talk to focus on what actually matters at the face. The conversation begins with safety glasses, examining when they are truly necessary, where the line exists between compliance and over-policing, and how to balance company policy, MSHA standards, and real-world hazard awareness without losing credibility with the workforce. We then shift into a deeper discussion on whether all accidents are preventable, exploring the realities of the human element, external factors, and the role of safety professionals in influencing behavior without becoming "the safety cop." Finally, the episode takes a hard look at complacency—how routine, fatigue, confidence, and attitude can quietly erode situational awareness, and why addressing complacency requires awareness and leadership, not just additional rules. Chapters: 01:31 Safety Glasses Debate 18:03 Philosophical Safety Questions 22:48 Understanding Risk Assessments 23:58 The Importance of JSAs 26:55 Learning from Experience 30:44 Complacency vs. Confidence 32:50 The Human Element in Safety 40:57 Attitude and Work Ethic

Before the citations. Before the regulations. Before the arguments—there's people. In the first-ever Safe Word segment of Mining Minds, Grover sits down with longtime mentor, former MSHA inspector, and no-nonsense safety professional Jim Hoover to have the conversations most safety meetings never do. This episode strips away the myths, the fear, and the finger-pointing around mining safety and replaces them with something better: honesty, experience, and critical thinking. They break down what MSHA actually does (and doesn't do), why citations aren't cash grabs, and how perception, personality, and human judgment shape every inspection. From the difference between being compliant and being truly safe, to why asking why matters more than memorizing the 30 CFR, this episode is about understanding safety—not weaponizing it. You'll hear real stories from the pit and the inspector's side, hard lessons learned early in a career, and why building relationships—rather than hiding when inspectors show up—can make operations safer for everyone. Brass in—join the conversation and be a part of The Safe Word.
