Lust Through the Ages
Lust Through the Ages is the podcast where history takes off its corset. I’m Williamaye Jones — editor, writer, and unapologetic book lover — here to read you the scandalous stories our ancestors tried to hide. Each week we’ll curl up with a chapter from classic erotica, then slip behind the curtain to explore the world that produced it: courtesans, censors, rumors, and whispers behind the walls. Think of it as part book club, part history salon, and part playful confession. From Renaissance Venice to Georgian London (and more), these tales once shocked, amused, and delighted — and still have the power to make us laugh, sigh, and raise an eyebrow today. Pour a glass of something decadent, get comfortable, and join me every Wednesday for Lust Through the Ages: erotic stories, one chapter at a time.

The official podcast of comedian Joe Rogan.
Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
