LOS ANGELES—Maitland Ward joins Blue’s Clues alum Steve Burns today on a new episode of his podcast, "Alive With Steve Burns."
Titled "Why is Sex So Hard to Talk About?" the episode tackles shame, vulnerability, and the discomfort society has with open conversations about sex. Ward, who has built a career across television, movies, and adult entertainment, offers her perspective on empowerment, authenticity, and the freedom that comes with owning her story.
Said Ward, "Talking with Steve was a rare chance to really slow down and unpack the way we think and feel about sex. He created space for a meaningful, grown-up conversation about sex, shame, and identity—things we all deal with but rarely say out loud. I’m proud to have been part of it."
Ward’s appearance follows a year of high-profile projects, including her appearance on A&E’s Secrets of Celebrity Sex Tapes and an upcoming untitled HBO/Ample Entertainment documentary, premiering in February 2026. Both explore how she redefined her public image and became one of the few performers to successfully bridge the worlds of mainstream and adult entertainment.
