Why Sex Podcasts Are Bigger Than Ever
The popularity of shows like Call Her Daddy says a lot about modern relationships: people want honesty. Podcasts feel less scripted than TV, less performative than TikTok, and more intimate than Instagram confession culture.
They’ve become part therapy session, part group chat, part cultural anthropology experiment.
And honestly? Sometimes hearing strangers talk openly about sex, heartbreak, desire, and embarrassment makes everyone feel a little less weird.
Which is probably why we keep pressing play.
