D Is For Desire
D Is For Desire is a shameless podcast that explores sex, sexuality, relationships and love from angles you could have never imagined in health class. It’s personal storytelling, conversations with experts and a whole lot of voyeuristic yet vital information. On each episode, host Noah Michelson introduces listeners to individuals who are willing to open up about their longings, predilections and relationships in order to inform others about who they are, what they want, what satisfies them and why it matters — which could have implications for the rest of us. Desire takes many forms, even unexpected ones. And when it comes to sex and love, nothing is “normal,” which means everything, and everyone, is “normal.” Hosted on Acast.
