Podcasts about Smut

This week, we're joined by romance author Lucy Wilson-Tagoe, who longtime readers may also know by her pen name Dylan Allen, to talk writing, reinvention, and her newest release, To Catch a Sinner.And because this is What the Smut, we obviously do not stay on one topic for very long. Andddddd we may have forgot to hit the record button...Lucy takes us behind the scenes of her writing process, from plotting complicated stories in spreadsheets to leaving just enough room for the feral chaos to take over. We also talk about the characters who completely hijacked her life, the tiny character details she obsesses over, and why apparently knowing exactly how someone laughs is essential information.Then we dive into To Catch a Sinner, the first book in Lucy's new romantic suspense duet. Mary also shares why she immediately thought this story needed to become a miniseries, while Cortney patiently waits for the audiobook (its out NOW) because we all know she is our resident audio girlie. If you love romance books, romantic suspense, indie romance authors, audiobook romance, friends-to-lovers, morally gray characters, bookish podcasts, author interviews, or behind-the-scenes conversations about writing, this episode is for you.Grab your favorite snacky snack, your beverage of choice, and come hang out while we talk books, writing, side quests, gummy bears, laundry services, and all the chaos in between.And as always, slide into our DMs and tell us what you're reading, watching, or what completely unhinged thought has been living rent-free in your head this week.Lucy's IGLucy's WebsiteLucy's Books..Apply to be a Guest on our showSign up for our Substack Newsletter..Support Our Show (May Include Affiliate Links)Amazon Product Links (Books, Shows, Products mentioned)Sponsorship or Ad Affiliate InquiriesWell Read Candle Company - WhatTheSmut10 saves you $$Audible Free TrialKindle Unlimited Free Trial..Where to Find UsWe are the most active on InstagramWhatTheSmutPodcastMarySend us a voice noteWell Read Candle Co10% Off WHATTHESMUT10 Support the show

What's the bet you or someone you know has been affected by gambling? Probably pretty high. Around 3 million Australians experience some sort of gambling harm each year. And 1.2 million Australians are affected by someone else's gambling. And it can have a real impact on your dating or love life. In today's episode we speak with Luke Bateman, ex-NFL star turned author, about his past addiction and tips on reaching the other side. SHOW NOTES:Lifeline - 13 11 14Gambling Helpline - 1800 858 858Gambling Help Online - https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/Luke Bateman IG - https://www.instagram.com/lukebateman_/?hl=enLuke Bateman Australian Story - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-27/turning-the-page-luke-bateman/106963436Compulsive Gambling - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/compulsive-gambling/symptoms-causes/syc-20355178The Psychology of Gambling Addiction: https://equilibriapcs.com/the-psychology-of-gambling-addiction-why-the-brain-craves-the-bet/Gambling Disorder Psychology: https://www.reachlink.com/advice/general/gambling-disorder-psychology/

Kid, El Pres, and Hat Trick cover enough territory to make three completely different podcasts. What begins with a late arrival caused by groceries and a low tire quickly transforms into an obsession with The Wicker Husband, a movie about a living wicker man that launches an entire discussion about monster romance, BookTok, "hear me out" culture, and the increasingly absurd places internet fiction keeps wandering. From there the show bounces through AI-generated headlines, fake news confusion, political satire, internet memes, celebrity rabbit holes, and the continuing rise of Jimithy lore before landing on relationship dynamics. Hat Trick shares updates on her evolving arrangement with the fireman, sparking one of the episode's more honest conversations about communication, expectations, and why keeping things simple often works better than trying to force traditional relationships. The second half veers into internet culture, social media algorithms, music, celebrity crushes, Christian comedy, religious debate clips, and the strange reality that today's feeds are becoming nearly impossible to trust. The crew wraps things up discussing attraction, dating psychology, AI-generated content, baseball, new music experiments, and resting bitch face.

Can romance really be easy? This week on the podcast, bestselling romance author Danielle Allen joins host Chidinma to discuss Big Girl Blitz, the final book in the Curve series. Together, they explore what makes a romance story  feel believable, why healthy love can be just as convincing as complicated or toxic love, and how Danielle creates the unforgettable characters - Aaliyah, Nina and Jaz - that bookstagram has come to love. Hopefully, the conversation doesn't spoil the book for you (if it does, please forgive) but this episode also explores themes of grief, confidence and emotional healing.. OH and some good SMUT so please listen with your headphones and be prepared to blush a few times (lol).  --- Connect with Danielle Allen: Support Big Girl Blitz: https://www.authordanielleallen.com/ IG: @authordanielleallen  --- Connect with "But What Do I Know?"

Welcome to another Amy & Smut Month, the month where we talk about books with smut! This time we're getting to know the monstrous, the beastly, and the surprisingly sweet. We tackle what kind of monsters belong in 'monster smut', our Wills and Won'ts of monsterkind, Romantasy vs Monster Romances, and just why these beastly men appeal to readers. Fun moments include a monster dating show (Married at First Bite anyone?), an inappropriate discussion of manatees, and Amy Learns About The Omegaverse. Amy & episodes are usually NSFW: this episode is particularly NSFW. This month we're reading Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta.

“Fairy smut” (spicy fantasy romance novels like A Court of Thorns and Roses) has become extremely popular, including among some Relief Society sisters. But is it harmless fun, or is it shaping expectations in unhealthy ways?In this episode, we discuss:Why some women are drawn to these booksThe real-world impact spicy romance can have on relationships (from someone who investigated sexual assault cases for 15 years)A new tool called BookRata that rates books across multiple categories (sexuality, violence, language, worldview, wellness, etc.)How to make informed decisions about what you read without being overly prudish or overly permissiveBookRata works like VidAngel for books — it doesn't censor content, but it gives you clear, transparent ratings so you can decide what's appropriate for you or your family.What's your take — is fairy smut harmless escapism, or is there reason for caution?#FairySmut #BookRata #LDS #ReliefSocietyChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: “My Spouse Reads Fairy Smut”02:08 - What Exactly Is “Fairy Smut”?04:51 - Why Some Women Are Reading It06:10 - A Former NCIS Agent's Perspective on Spicy Romance09:02 - Introducing BookRata (Like VidAngel for Books)11:50 - How BookRata Rates Books (AI + Transparency)15:24 - Can You Filter by Age, Genre, or Content Level?17:13 - Romance vs. Smut — Where's the Line?19:52 - Should Parents Use This for Their Kids?21:41 - Can This Tool Help Schools and Libraries?24:44 - Final Thoughts: Balance Between Prudishness and PerversionJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

Ana Huang spent years living a double life: international relations scholar, Georgetown grad, geopolitical consultant by day, and secret romance novelist by night. She quietly uploaded chapters to Wattpad under a pen name no one in her life knew, and kept writing even as she built a conventional career that would make her immigrant parents proud. On this episode of She Pivots, Ana shares how COVID cracked her life open, how she taught herself TikTok before BookTok was even a thing, and how she built a community of millions one chapter at a time, all while still clocking in at her day job. She talks about the moment she finally told her family the truth, why she said no to major publishers when Twisted Love blew up, and what it means to bet on yourself. Her Twisted series has now sold over 25 million copies, been translated into 34 languages, and is headed to Netflix—and her new book, King of Gluttony, is out now.

Did you know that women with ADHD consume explicit fiction at dramatically higher rates than neurotypical women — and there's a neurological reason? Dr. Erika Miley is a licensed mental health counselor, certified sex therapist, and author of the only dissertation published on ADHD and women's sexuality. After surveying over 2,000 participants, one thing kept surfacing: smut. Romantasy, explicit romance, audio erotica — all of it. In this episode, she explains why the ADHD brain is uniquely drawn to literary erotica, how smut raises the arousal threshold enough to sustain focus, and why neurodivergent women are using it for everything from processing emotional vulnerability to getting through household chores.  Find Dr. Miley at erikamiley.com.

Did you know that women with ADHD consume explicit fiction at dramatically higher rates than neurotypical women — and there's a neurological reason? Dr. Erika Miley is a licensed mental health counselor, certified sex therapist, and author of the only dissertation published on ADHD and women's sexuality. After surveying over 2,000 participants, one thing kept surfacing: smut. Romantasy, explicit romance, audio erotica — all of it. In this episode, she explains why the ADHD brain is uniquely drawn to literary erotica, how smut raises the arousal threshold enough to sustain focus, and why neurodivergent women are using it for everything from processing emotional vulnerability to getting through household chores.  Find Dr. Miley at erikamiley.com.

Witchy season is year round here at TIC and do we have a story for you. We welcome author G.V. Hext on the show to discuss her debut dark romantic fantasy The Vatra Witch. Sisters. The story starts with Seraphina embarking on a journey to save her sister. Can you tell why we were hooked? THEN Gigi does something we didn't expect. This story has dual POV, but it's not who you think. The relationship between platonic soulmates Seraphina and Dom is refreshing. Yes there is also a gorgeous childhood crush leading her through spooky forests. And of course there is also a demon Lord who stalks her and becomes increasingly helpful. What is a girl to do? Gigi offers insights into what went into writing these characters. The inspiration drawn from real life, and how being the oldest daughter shaped her and her storytelling.Gigi is a dream guest. Candid. Honest and loves to chat. Just like Lizzy. It should be no surprise then that this interview will be released in two parts.*spoilers for The Vatra Witch ahead*  Send us Fan MailSupport the showConnect with usInstagram: https://bit.ly/ourIGpageTikTok: https://bit.ly/ourTiktokpageIntro and Outro music, Sexy Fashion Beat from Coma-Media

I have to be honest — when I put out the casting call for people with interesting jobs, I wasn't expecting anything quite like this. Alexandra Sunshine is a senior editor at Kensington Books and, as she describes herself, is the number one romantic editor in the U.S. right now — meaning she has acquired more projects in the romantic genre than anyone else in the country. And yes, "romantasy" means exactly what you think it means: fantasy worlds, magical creatures, swords and crowns... and a lot of very explicit sex.In this conversation, Alex takes me on a full tour of the spicy book world — from the BookTok explosion that completely disrupted publishing, to the sub-genres you didn't know existed (shifter romance, omegaverse, dark romance, "why choose"... we get into all of it). We talk about why women are devouring these books right now, what it says about female sexuality and modern relationships, and why the "touch her and die" trope is basically the ultimate female fantasy. We also get into the surprisingly funny realities of her job: copy editors fact-checking whether a sex position is physically possible, boardroom conversations about explicit content, and the "chili pepper scale" that her sales team ultimately rejected.We also ended up having a really honest conversation about my own book (the psychological thriller I'm currently working on), and Alex gave some genuinely great advice for anyone who's been sitting on a story idea and hasn't started yet.Follow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/Alexhsunshine/Follow Kensington Books: https://www.instagram.com/kensingtonbooks/Alex's Book RecommendationsRain of Shadows and Endings by Melissa Roehrich: https://amzn.to/4cZJg6A Chasing the Wild by Elliott Rose: https://amzn.to/4d5ZcEeChasing the Ring by Lauren Rowe: https://amzn.to/4cQZIY7Chasing the Rush by Lauren Rowe: https://amzn.to/4tMkwWBSponsors:Ogee: Thanks to today's sponsor, Ogee: A higher standard for beauty.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Mummy Returns: "They're all so hot. It's problematic.” The Mummy Returns, better known as The Mummy 2 or The cast that launched a thousands of kids onto the path of bisexuality. ACOFAE promised they would cover this movie and here they are lamenting at how how these actors are, how smart the kid is, and how fun history and the movies is and can be. The Mummy Returns is a movie that everyone but Jessica Marie saw when it came out, and lots of people love and and some even hate it. The CGI isn't great and the story has it's low points but The Rock is in it and he has one speaking line, a little victory. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they return to Egypt, and then London and then Egypt again in under a week, somehow, and journey on hot air balloons to temples that were buried in the past life of a reincarnated princess. It's great stuff. It's ok to have fun.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Devil Wears Prada: The Movie: "The Hemline Effect." Did you know that the 2006 movie,The Devil Wears Prada, is one of Jessica Marie's all time favorite movies? Did you know that Laura Marie has never seen the entire movie in one sitting? Jessica Marie didn't either. A movie that is better than the book is a rare thing but it happens here, (this is one of ACOFAE Jessica's hills to die on) and even that is saying something when the movie is filled with frustrations. Who is the true villain in this story? The boss? The boyfriend? The lack of ambition? Or all of the above according to ACOFAE Laura who stops this movie after the iconic line, "Everyone wants this."
