The Erotic Mind of John Woods & Cass King – Podcast #213 – 06/21/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

HAPPY SOLSTICE EVERYONE! Damn, this year is flying by. It seems like it was only a couple of weeks ago that we were welcoming spring. Sheesh!

So remember how I promised you a knock-you-out line up of guests for our special Pride month shows? Well then, I got something for you today that’ll sure enough make you sit up and take note. In fact, we’re off on another audio field trip, one that will take us to the Theater Off Jackson, here in Seattle. We’re gonna visit with John Woods & Cass King, the exceptional talent behind the wildly popular and deliciously sexy vaudevillians known as The Wet Spots.

   

John & Cass are in town to produce their first full-fledged musical stage production called SHINE: A Burlesque Musical, which will run from JULY 8th through the 18th. They’ve invited us to drop by to visit with them between rehearsals. And I don’t mind telling you that I’m more than a little stage struck. I mean give me the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd and I’m a happy guy.

Besides the sparkling conversation, which brings a whole new dimension to The Erotic Mind podcast series, our guests will share with us one of their brand new songs, written expressly for the show. Get ready to be bowled over!

John & Cass and I discuss:

  • Vulgarity, filth and perversion? Maybe not so much!
  • The Wet Spots — a husband and wife team from the golden age of comedy.
  • How they got their act together.
  • The universal appeal of sex humor.
  • Their queer following.
  • The intensity of living and working together and their polly marriage.
  • Producing SHINE: A Burlesque Musical.
  • Their new songs for the show.
  • The creative process.
  • A musical about show business — a very old tradition.

The Erotic Mind of Boots Bryant – Podcast #210 – 06/07/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

We continue our special Pride Month guest star extravaganza today. I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming a true original in the world of erotic photography, Kevin Johnson, aka Boots Bryant.

Boots is here as part of The Erotic Mind podcast series. In our conversations with noted erotic artists we’ve uncovered quite a bit about the creative process involved in this specialized art form. We’ve visited with numerous artists who create their art in a variety of media. We’ve discovered that the term “erotic art” covers a vast array of visual and literary expressions; some very graphic, others are subtlety suggestive. But all reflect the irrepressible spirit of the human sexual experience.

Boots is first and foremost a photographer, but he is also an erotic author. He shoots mainstream fashion stuff as well as his edgier stuff. But whatever he shoots you can be sure that it will pulse with enormous sexual energy. His photography can be both exquisitely beautiful and stunningly disturbing. And often his images are both of these things at the same time.

Boots and I discuss:

  • His nom de smut — Boots Bryant
  • The Mask Series.
  • His commissioned gigs.
  • The three new series he’s working on.
  • His unsettling early life.
  • Taking up photography as a kid.
  • How he began to shoot nudes.
  • Finding his models.
  • His music hobby.

See some of Boots’ stunning images below.

Hey sex fans,

Ya’ll know June is Gay Pride month, right? And if you don’t believe me, ask President Obama. He made the official declaration again this year on May 28th, 2010.  As you may also know, he is the first president in our glorious history to do so. So hurray for him! And an even bigger hurray for all us queer folk on this 41st anniversary of the birth of the modern gay rights movement.

And you should also know that you’re getting a double bang for your buck today, because Tonya is another twofer. She is here as part of the Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series as well as The Erotic Mind series. So yeah for that!

Tonya and I discuss:

  • Seattle being a hotbed of perversion.
  • Her new workspace in the SODO district of Seattle.
  • What accounts for her remarkable success.
  • Her unique designs.
  • Her humble kinky beginnings.
  • Her commitment to community service.

The Erotic Mind of Heidi Champa — Podcast #202 — 04/26/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

After the last couple of weeks of nothing but Q&A, I am so happy to get back to The Erotic Mind podcast series today. And boy, do I ever have an exceptionally charming…and I might add smutty…guest for you to meet. I’m delighted to welcome Heidi Champa to the show.

Today we travel to the wilds of south-central Pennsylvania to spend some time with Heidi in her natural habitat. We discover that lurking behind her mild-mannered and unassuming exterior there is an erotic powerhouse. We also discover that she is just hitting her stride as a published author. So look out world! Which only reinforces my belief that there is a creative erotic impulse hidden in all of us; that once let loose it will transform us and our world. Exciting stuff this, sex fans!

And to show you what I mean, Heidi will read a tantalizing selection from the fruit of her Erotic Mind. It’ll make you want to touch yourself impurely; I promise.

Heidi and I discuss:

  • Her website and her collection of stunning eye candy.
  • Why she self-identifies as a smut peddler.
  • Writing under her real name.
  • Who is this Heidi Champa person anyway?
  • What, in her life, sparks her erotic creations.
  • The skill necessary for creating petite yet powerful works of art.
  • Writing a “snapshot”.
  • Using words that arouse as well as startle.

Heidi invites you to visit her on her website HERE!
