Podcasts about taboos

Author Mark Sibley's Mongol Moon explores how a global war ignites — and what follows when the world goes dark. In this in-depth expansion, Voodoo turns his focus to the African continent, showing how the conflict unfolds on the ground and in the lives of those forced to survive it. Drawing on his experience as an Infantry Officer in Iraq and Afghanistan, his deep recall of 20th-century warfare, and his love of a good scotch, he brings a gritty realism and human perspective to the chaos that follows when the lights go out and only the prepared endure.

Originally streamed live on YouTube, this episode explores what Ifá teaches about sex, shame, and sacred energy. Dr. Asanee Brogan discusses major sexual taboos, including self-pleasure, pornography, infidelity, menstruation, and abstinence through the lens of Yoruba wisdom. Learn how sexual energy functions as a divine force in creation, connection, and healing, and how imbalance can disrupt one's alignment with Ori and destiny.

Is it imaginable that freedom of speech and freedom of religion could be suppressed where we live at some time in our future? History would indicate so.

On this week's episode, I covered a topic I've never covered before: pegging. So strap onto your strap-on, this is going to be an out there ride! Joining me was Luna Matatas, a Toronto-based sex and pleasure educator with 15+ years of experience in kink, anal play, and Femdom. Luna's expertise and humour made this conversation both fun and very spicy.Pegging, in simple terms, is when a cisgender woman uses a strap-on dildo to penetrate a cisgender male partner. Beyond the physical act, it explores vulnerability and gender role subversion, which many find deeply thrilling. Or not. When it comes to pegging, my personal experience is that it's like Marmite - the sticky brown stuff that the British love to put on their bread that tastes of beef stock. It's personal whether you love it or loathe it. (Maybe that's not quite the right analogy but I'm certain you know what I mean). And same goes for pegging. I know men whom became obsessed after a pegging session and a bigger group that think that any form of anal play means they are almost certainly gay.My personal opinion is that exploring our errogonous zones is one of life's greatest pleasures so why should bums be off limit? However, when it comes to pegging, there are a few ground rules that make the whole experience much more pleasurable.Here are Luna's practical tips:* Preparation Matters: Start small, warm up with external stimulation, and always use plenty of lube. As Luna says, “If you think you have enough lube, add more.”* Communication is Key: When bringing up pegging, focus on the feelings or desires behind the fantasy. This opens the door to mutual exploration without pressure.* Aftercare is Essential: Emotional and physical check-ins post-pegging are vital. Whether it's cuddling, talking, or a warm bath, aftercare helps everyone feel grounded.We also discussed how societal attitudes toward pleasure and masculinity are shifting, with younger generations embracing curiosity and shedding shame.This conversation was a reminder to stay curious and open to new experiences. Luna was an absolute hoot, and I can't wait to have her back to dive into more topics like Femdom. Until next time, take care and remember: desire doesn't retire! 00:00 Introduction to Pegging and Its Appeal02:51 Understanding the Mechanics of Pegging05:38 The Emotional Aspects of Pegging08:28 Power Dynamics in Pegging11:19 Communication and Consent in Pegging14:20 Tools and Techniques for Pegging17:08 Building Confidence in Pegging19:47 Aftercare and Recovery22:50 Societal Changes and Attitudes Towards PeggingYou can find Luna Matatas here.Hi, I'm Suzanne, author of the bestseller ‘The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir,' pleasure seeker and curious about ways to improve our intimate relationships as we age.Each week, I delve into a different aspects of sex, dating and relationships with an expert which I bring to you via the Sex Advice for Seniors podcast.

Today's episode is part of our Christian parenting mini-series we are offering on “Motherhood Taboos” and we are tackling a big taboo of finding out you're pregnant ... and you weren't planning to be. Our guests are both priests who found themselves unexpectedly pregnant and want to narrate the grief and the joy, the surprise and the wonder, and the challenge and hope of a blessing that can leave you limping from a worldview that supports women's autonomy, choice, and freedom. MORE ABOUT OUR GUESTS:Rev. Mia Kano is an Episcopal priest in the Diocese of Massachusetts, where she serves as the part-time Rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Ayer. She lives in Acton, Massachusetts with her husband and two children. Rev. Mia's childhood was shaped by both Catholic and Congregationalist churches. She found her way to the Episcopal Church in her early twenties after exploring secular humanism and Islam. She was ordained as a priest in January 2020. Rev. Reagan Gonzalez was born in Odessa, Texas and raised in Bozeman, Montana. She grew up attending St. James Episcopal Church in Bozeman and later served as its Youth Director and Christian Formation Director before attending seminary. She is a graduate of Montana State University with a degree in Microbiology. After college, Reagan spent a year living in intentional community during a year of service with the Episcopal Service Corps. This experience deepened her faith and confirmed a desire to formally discern a call to ordained ministry. She earned an MDiv from the Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas and was ordained to the priesthood in 2018. Reagan has a passion for community life that is grounded in inclusivity. She loves to preach, teach, tell Godly Play stories to children, and introduce people to an open-minded Christianity where questions are welcomed, and where we trust that we learn best by struggling together to hear where the Holy Spirit is calling. Reagan is married to Bryan, they have two children, and one on the way. +++Like what you hear?

Today's episode is part of our Christian parenting mini-series we are offering on “Motherhood Taboos” and we've invited author, preacher, and friend The Rev. Teresa Kim Pecinovsky to talk with us about maternal images of God in Scripture. She's an expert because she wrote one of our favorite children's books, Mother God! While Scripture is PACKED with feminine and maternal images of God, you don't often hear those images highlighted in the pulpit or in the Christian book aisle. Rev. Teresa is one of our favorite preachers and writers working to change that for littles and grown-ups alike, and she talks about taking the approach of writing a children's book to dismantle oppressive images from infancy onwards. Her Scripture guide for maternal images of God is here, just scroll to the bottom of the page! More about Rev.

Today's episode is part of our Christian parenting mini-series we are offering on “Motherhood Taboos” - the topics that are on many parents' hearts and minds and yet are not discussed in public very often. Motherhood can be physically, emotionally, and mentally very demanding.  These three things can snowball which can leave mothers feeling very isolated and alone.  We are delighted to have a friend and Licensed Professional Counsellor, Tori Andrews on the podcast to discuss this taboo of maternal mental health with us! To connect and/or to learn more about Tori, you can visit her website here: everbloomingwellness.com.+++Like what you hear?

In our Motherhood taboo series we are seeking to “fill the gap” between feminist, thoughtful, deconstructing/inclusive orthodoxy Christian content and the trad wife motherhood content online.  Content warning: we will be talking about miscarriage and pregnancy loss in this episode.  This week we are joined by two friends and colleagues, The Rev. Allison Caudill and The Rev'd Allie McDougall who have both navigated miscarriage in their ministry.  Miscarriage is something many families experience and yet, it is considered a major taboo in our society. Our guests will share with us their experiences of publicly navigating loss and how their faith helped them through it. This was one of the most moving discussions we have had to date on the podcast and we pray it will be a blessing for our listeners.More on our guests:The Rev'd Allie McDougall, Vicar of St. Paul's and St. Stephen's, Stratford, Ontario, CanadaSubstack: Gathering Up the Crumbs https://substack.com/home/post/p-155663524 The Rev.

Tamsen Fadal is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, author, filmmaker, and a fearless advocate for women in midlife. After three decades in the spotlight as a news anchor, she made a bold pivot, stepping away from the desk and into a movement. She’s the executive producer of the groundbreaking PBS documentary The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause, a film that has reached over a million women across 42 countries. And if that wasn’t enough, she’s just released her latest book, How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better Than Before, which is shaping up to be the guidebook women have long been waiting for. This conversation explores the transformative journey of menopause, the importance of community, shared experiences, and the need for open discussions about women's health. We have a deep conversation on the challenges and opportunities that arise during midlife, the significance of reinvention, and the creation of supportive networks. Takeaways Menopause is often misunderstood and not openly discussed. The journey of menopause can be a shared experience among women. Creating a supportive community is essential for women going through menopause. The documentary 'The M Factor' aims to change the narrative around menopause. Celebrating midlife is crucial; it's not the end but a new beginning. Reinvention at midlife can be daunting but is also an opportunity for growth. Women should embrace their health and well-being during menopause. Mentorship and inspiration from other women can guide the journey. Open conversations about menopause can help break the stigma. The future of women's health discussions should include all stages of life. Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/VFahqrHtlFwSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Born in the rugged Appalachian town of Sylva, North Carolina, Anthony Dyer was raised in a world of untamed adventure, where resilience was a way of life. That same fearless spirit propelled him into the elite realm of Special Operations Aviation, where he spent over a decade as a USAF Combat Special Missions Aviator, flying into the world's most volatile war zones. Tasked with executing high-risk missions under relentless pressure, Anthony's career was defined by precision, courage, and sacrifice. But what happens when the mission ends?In Moon Child, Anthony delivers a raw, unfiltered account of his life in combat-the triumphs, burdens, and unseen wounds that follow Warriors home. He shares the harrowing details of his most dangerous operations, including the 2018 Jolly Green Rescue Mission of the Year, where split-second decisions meant the difference between life and death. Yet, beyond the battlefield, Anthony faced a far deadlier enemy: the silent battles of addiction, trauma, and the search for purpose beyond war.For those who have known war, for those who have battled addiction, and for those still finding their way-Moon Child is your story, too.

Nina Knag's debut feature, Don't Call Me Mama, which marks her arrival as a bold new voice in cinema, just premiered at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Crystal Globe competition. She tackles the taboo subject of relationships between older women and younger asylum seekers through the lens of complex, unapologetic female anti-heroes. Drawing from personal insight and the influence of trailblazing female filmmakers, Knag crafts a story where the setting becomes an active force in shaping narrative and theme. She emphasizes the importance of deep collaboration with actors, embracing improvisation and authenticity to capture the complex realities of human relationships. For Knag, filmmaking is as much about the journey as the final cut—each challenge, misstep, and success feeding into a creative process that demands vulnerability, resilience, and a refusal to compromise the heart of the story.Past films discussed include The Hunt (2012, dir. Thomas Vinterberg), After the Wedding (2006, dir. Susanne Bier), Fish Tank (2009, dir. Andrea Arnold), and the short Wasp (2003, dir. Andrea Arnold).What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

It's always fun to talk to a fellow podcaster, especially someone like Karen Bigman, the host of the podcast Taboo to Truth: Life and Sex After 50. Karen is a certified sexuality educator and menopause sex and relationship coach, and she's on a mission to help women over 50 embrace their sexuality and pleasure without shame.Karen shared her incredible journey of self-discovery, which began after her divorce at 52, when she had her own “sexual awakening.” From awkward conversations with her gynacologist to discovering vibrators for the first time (doctor's orders!), Karen's candid and humorous take on her experiences was both inspiring and relatable.We dove into topics like painful sex, the lack of education around vaginal estrogen and testosterone, and why women shouldn't settle for discomfort or give up on pleasure. Karen also talked about her experiences with online dating, the challenges of navigating men with complex lives (or no savings!), and the importance of setting boundaries and knowing your own worth.We laughed about ghosting, dating disasters, and the interesting (and sometimes baffling) reasons people give for ending things. Karen even shared her thoughts on how soon to have sex when dating and why it's okay to break your own rules sometimes.Karen also talked about her new online course, Hotter, Wiser, and Wilder, which is packed with practical advice on navigating ageing, improving your sex life, and even tips for dating and writing better profiles. She's also building a private community to give people a safe space to ask those intimate questions they might feel too shy to ask anywhere else.If you've ever felt like dating and sex in midlife is overwhelming or impossible, this episode is a reminder that it's never too late to embrace your desires, have fun, and laugh along the way.You can follow here on Instagram here.You can find Karen's website here and download a FREE Pleasure Playbook!

In this episode of the No Film School Podcast, GG Hawkins presents two riveting conversations that push boundaries and challenge cultural taboos. First, she interviews Michael Taylor Jackson, writer, director, and star of the radically inventive film Orange Underground (Bajo Naranja), a satirical, punk-infused narrative born out of the Argentine quarantine. Then, she speaks with Kate Downey, creator and host of the podcast CRAMPED, which explores the hidden pain and social invisibility surrounding menstruation. Together, these conversations highlight how bold, personal storytelling can become an act of protest and empowerment. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests discuss... How Orange Underground merges satire, street art, and protest cinema to confront U.S. neocolonialism The creative process of blending real-life social media storytelling with scripted filmmaking How Argentina's unique film funding system and underground economy supported an international indie film Kate Downey's journey from theater to podcasting, and how CRAMPED sheds light on the mystery of period pain Why menstruation remains a cultural and cinematic taboo, and how media can normalize it through better representation The power of representation in shaping societal understanding of women's health and lived experiences Memorable Quotes: “We were able to develop a virtual community because we couldn't obviously live together.” “When half the population experiences something regularly, shouldn't they be reflected honestly in our storytelling?” “There is no word other than an ignorant word to describe ourselves.” “Is there any more common experience that has not been hit to death, right?” Guests: Michael Taylor Jackson Kate Downey Resources: Bajo Naranja on Instagram CRAMPED: Why Doesn't Media Talk About Period Pain?

In this juicy (and deeply educational) episode, Joel and Keegan welcome the one and only Dr. Evan Goldstein — America's leading anal health expert, founder of Future Method, and author of the new book Butt Seriously: The Definitive Guide to Anal Health, Pleasure, and Everything In Between.We get into all the things nobody taught us about butt stuff — from how Dr. Goldstein became an anal surgeon (yes, that's a real job!) to the myths he's constantly debunking in his practice at Bespoke Surgical. We talk lube (yes, there is a wrong kind), douching safely, how to prep and recover properly, and why anal care is essential, not optional—especially for queer folks.Plus, we chat about Future Method's game-changing products, the stigma around anal wellness, and how Dr. G is leading a full-on butt revolution with science, empathy, and zero shame.Whether you're a bottom, top, verse, or just butt-curious, this episode is for YOU.

'Haemorrhoids is one of those embarrassing problems that a lot of people suffer from. There's a lot of taboos surrounding it, because people don't want to own up that they've got haemorrhoids. A lot of people listening or watching this probably have haemorrhoids, they're probably sitting on them right now. That video is not a sexy topic, but it got over 2 million views... that is a huge amount of people that I could see across 100 clinics, and still not get to that number.'    In this week's episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Dr Karan Rajan, a doctor, health educator, and host of the Dr Karan Explores podcast. With millions of followers across his social media platforms, Dr Karan showcases the power of social media to ‘de-taboo the taboo', tackling topics including menopause, women's health, and bowel issues. He stresses the harm caused by shame and silence, reminding us that ‘taboo should not be associated with any disease or condition'.  A passionate advocate for accessible, jargon-free medical education, Dr Karan believes that everyone deserves to feel confident in understanding and managing their own health. Together, he and Dr Louise challenge persistent myths, like the notion that testosterone is a male-only hormone – exploring how such misconceptions reinforce outdated ideas that negatively impact patient care.   They also address how misinformation, stigma and a one size fits approach to medicine creates barriers to care, particularly in women's health such as menopause and endometriosis. This episode explores the evolving role of medical educators, and is a call for more open, informed conversations – because great medicine should never settle for ‘good enough'.  Watch on YouTube  We hope you love the new series!

Money—the last standing taboo in our society and the number one cause of divorce—takes center stage in this candid conversation between Sabrina Soto and Pattie Ehsaei, the "Duchess of Decorum" on TikTok. Raw, unedited, and refreshingly honest, this discussion dives deep into why financial independence remains non-negotiable for creating balanced power dynamics in relationships.The conversation tackles Pattie's viral advice to "never date a broke dude"—clarifying that it's less about someone's bank balance and more about matching "hustle for hustle." Financial compatibility means aligning ambition, responsibility, and mindset rather than dollar amounts. They discuss practical strategies for maintaining financial independence, tactical advice for improving credit scores, and five crucial questions everyone should ask before marriage. Ready to break the money taboo in your own life?
