PHOENIX—VoiceAmerica Talk Radio Network—internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and video—today announced the debut of Sex Out Loud, hosted by internationally acclaimed author, sex educator, college lecturer, and feminist pornographer Tristan Taormino on the VoiceAmerica Variety Channel on Friday, June 1, at 5 p.m. Pacific Time, 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
Sex Out Loud explores the world of sexuality from every angle. Taormino will interview leading authors, educators, artists and icons and give listeners an uncensored, inside look at alternative sexual practices and communities. She’ll delve into topics from the popular to the taboo, including sex education and sexual health, erotic fantasies, BDSM, non-monogamy, the adult industry, and more. Taormino and her guests will also answer listeners’ questions live.
Her first guest will be Dan Savage, sex advice columnist, author, co-creator of the “It Gets Better” campaign, and star of MTV’s Savage U. Upcoming guests include Kate Bornstein, Buck Angel, Jaclyn Friedman, Jessica Valenti, Bobbi Starr, and Susie Bright and her daughter Aretha Bright.
Taormino has been educating and entertaining people for more than 15 years. A former columnist for The Village Voice, Taormino’s sex-positive attitude and sharp wit have made her a sought after guest on radio and television shows across the United States and abroad including Howard Stern, Loveline, Ricki Lake and HBO’s Real Sex. Most notably, she was a recurring guest on Ricki Lake for two seasons, gave sex advice to Danny Bonaduce and the late Dick Clark on the NBC talk show The Other Half, and debated Dr. Drew Pinsky and Joe Scarborough on MSNBC. She is a widely recognized expert on sex education, GLBT issues, alternative relationships, and feminist pornography. She frequently lectures at top colleges and universities, including Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, UCLA and NYU.
