M. Christian, Ralph Greco, Jr Debut 'Licking Non-Vanilla' Podcast

NEW YORK CITY—M. Christian and Ralph Greco, Jr., both writers of erotica and sexually related subjects, will debut their Licking Non-Vanilla podcast this week on the Redcircle podcast platform. The hour-long show is produced by Velvet Minx and Reiny Marco of ChromeOrange Media, and will be available on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts, to name a few.

As professional writers of smut, and occasional teachers at kink conventions, "Chris" and Ralph have worked, both together and separately, in the adult business world, across the world, for more than a decade each.

M. Christian is a short fiction writer, anthologist, teacher, columnist, and editor. He has published across many genres—not just erotica—in multiple formats, online, in small press, and in major markets and from a wide variety of publishers. His versatility, as well as talent, has earned “Chris” awards and accolades from many of his peers. Pursuing the sexual futurist work he has recently been noted for, Chris also works as a columnist for the site, futureofsex.net.

Ralph Greco, Jr. is a professional writer and musician living in the wilds of suburban New Jersey. Ralph’s fiction (erotic and non-), essays, poetry, and articles have been published in major markets, small press, and online across eight countries. He also contributes weekly blogs, SEO web copy, advertising text, and press releases to various clients in the adult field as well as the mainstream space. Ralph writes regular columns for Sexpert.com and “The Sex Files,” at shortandsweetnyc.com.

Licking Non-Vanilla is the pair's first-ever podcast, and it's meant to be a discussion, rant, adults-only show of sex-positive talk about sexual mores, culture, and just good old humping, from their decidedly jaundiced yet always humorous perspectives. The show will also feature call-in guests, professionals in the adult business field, as many others, offering unique points of view on the topic(s) at hand.

"Chris and I have simply taken what we do at kink conventions, mainly our writing smut classes, plus all the back-and-forth jawing we manage on any regular occasion (and that's quite a lot of gabbing, as we just love to hear ourselves talk) and use this as a jumping-off point for everything we want to tackle on LNV," Greco explained. "We figured, why not get on-air, and see if anybody wants to listen to us? We're gonna talk anyway."

"There's no one I'd rather talk sex, writing, and everything betwixt and between with than my great pal, Ralph Greco, Jr.," M. Christian said. "With Licking Non-Vanilla, I get to do just that and hopefully, entertain a few folks in the process."

New episodes of Licking Non-Vanilla will be released twice a month. The podcast is available for streaming, and its hosts welcome subscribers.
