SAN FRANCISCO—The "Vanilla Swingers" podcast, hosted by lifestyle duo Kat and Leo, was named Best Podcast of the Year at the 2025 ASN Awards.
Known for its honest and insightful take on non-monogamy and ENM (ethical non-monogamy), the show has become a must-listen for curious couples, unicorns, and anyone who’s ever Googled “swinger club near me."
“This award means more than just a trophy,” said Kat. “We started 'Vanilla Swingers' to be the podcast we wish we’d had when we were nervous newbies—no gatekeeping, no ego, just the messy, funny, sexy reality of figuring out ENM together. To have the industry and our listeners embrace that is surreal.”
Leo added, “We’re not experts. We’re the every-couple stumbling through our first club nights, podcasting from hot cars and laughing at ourselves along the way. Winning Best Podcast of the Year is a reminder that authenticity resonates, and that our tribe of listeners is the real reason this show exists.”
“We joked that if we accepted the award in person, we’d have to do it with bags over our heads,” Kat laughed. “Our parents still think we’re running a cooking show.”
