What is the significance of supporting Radiotopia for podcasters?
In this world where you're expected to be a media patron by contributing to like one podcast at a time. Let me tell you how you can really get the most out of your year end donations by giving to Radiotopia. Radiotopia is a collective of podcasts, some of the best podcasts in the world. And I'm not saying that because I'm a part of Radiotopia. I was a fan of these shows long before I joined. I'm talking about The Memory Palace, Kitchen Sisters Present, Normal Gossip, Proxy, Hyperfixed. I could go on and on and on. Some of the strangest, most interesting shows that probably couldn't find a home anywhere else.
How does OMGYes contribute to the conversation about pleasure and intimacy?
We all work with Radiotopia. A gift to Radiotopia is supporting my show and supporting all the other shows on the network and making sure that this exists for a future generation of podcasters who don't just want to be like little Joe Rogan knockoffs. This is where art lives in the audio space, and this is how you can make sure it stays alive. Go to radiotopia.fm slash donate and contribute whatever feels right to you. Thank you so much. There's new research on pleasure that's actually fascinating. And the site OMGYes makes it accessible to everyone. OMGYes shares findings from the largest ever study into women's pleasure and intimacy. In partnership with researchers at Yale and Indiana University, they asked tens of thousands of couples
what they wished they'd discovered sooner. And they found the patterns in those discoveries. And all that wisdom about pleasure and intimacy is organized as hundreds of short videos, animations, and how-tos on omgyes.com. And by the way, half of omgyes users are men. omgyes is consulted by people of all genders, so hooray for generous lovers, right? You'll find specific research-backed techniques. It's the science of sexual generosity in action. See what they discovered today at omgs.com. That's O-M-G-Y-E-S dot com. Hey, it's Avery. Okay, I have to admit, I debated whether or not I should put this on the feed because I was like, is it self-indulgent to post an interview with myself? Maybe it is. But this was unlike any other interview that I've ever been able to do because I was interviewed live on stage by one of my
true heroes, Jad Abumrad. He is the founder of Radiolab. And currently, he is the host of this beautiful show called Fela Kuti, Fear No Man. And it is a portrait, warts and all, of the artist Fela Kuti. And he's Jad Abumrad. So he brings his signature blend of philosophy and sound design and music theory all together with just some incredible reporting. And I was just completely chuffed when he asked if he could interview me live on stage at this club called Ludlow House in New York City as part of an ongoing series made by On Air Presents. And this was a really small crowd. It was this very intimate little space. And so I was like, you know what? Let me just put it beyond the room. We'll call it an epilogue.
Just as a disclaimer, I mean, Jad and I are just talking on stage. I'm talking off the dome. This is not my normal rehearsed fact checked sort of thing. So sorry if I made a mistake, especially if you're from Finland and I got parts of your history wrong. If you're like, why is she talking about Finland? Just listen, you'll hear.
Okay, hi. So excited for you all to be here. So the rules of engagement are simple. I'm going to ask Avery a bunch of questions, and then you guys will have a chance to ask questions. So just log any thoughts or questions that I forget to ask or that come up for you as you're listening, and we'll throw it. throw it to you at the end. Avery is one of my favorite storytellers, and so I asked her to join me in conversation because I am mildly obsessed with her latest series, Gear. I think it's truly an incredible creation, and I have so many questions, and so here we are.
Thank you so much. That really means a lot.
But I thought, who here has heard parts of the series? Okay, cool. Well, for those of you who are not clapping or clapping just because you feel you should, let me just play a clip from episode one.
