Jerry Garcia on the Acid Tests

This episode features a story made by Audio Smut (http://audiosmut.ca), a podcast about "your body, your heart, and your junk." Directed and produced by Kaitlin Prest in collaboration with composer Shani Aviram, this story is about how our thoughts can deceive us when we're falling head over heels. This story was developed and written based on 17 interviews on the topic of perception in early romantic relationships.  

Audio Smut's editors and story guides are Mitra Kaboli and Sharon Mashihi. Their associate producer is Shira Bannerman. 

Special thanks to Jen Ng, Megan Detrie, Samara Breger, and Ann Hepperman. And to the people interviewed for this piece, especially Ayinde Bennet, Armen Bazarian and Caroline McKeown.

Why don’t we understand how the female orgasm works? After years of scientific research, the male body is understood but when it comes to how women work, we are a long way behind. Why is there this gap in knowledge? 



It appears research has been hindered by the assumption that the female body works in the same way as the male body and that for women, arousal is all in the mind. There’s also a general attitude that studying sexual pleasure isn’t important and that female orgasms aren’t important to study as they serve no purpose for reproduction.



Researchers are slowly correcting these assumptions and making surprising discoveries.



We’ll take you behind the scenes to two orgasm labs to bring you the latest research on how orgasms work for women. We’ll also hear from Callista, who struggled with excruciating pain during sex for many years but was told the problem was all in her mind. Her journey to diagnosis shows how little is known, even amongst gynaecologists and doctors, about female sexual pleasure.

The Female Orgasm

Quel est le son emblématique du sexe ? Remontez cette braguette, rangez votre musique d'ascenseur, cessez de gratter cette culotte de soie... il s'agit du "han" propre à la pornographie - omniprésent sur nos écrans (en navigation privée, n'est-ce pas) mais aussi dans nos lits (vu la tendance contemporaine à se prendre pour des hardeurs). Que dit le "han", mais aussi, QUI dit le "han" - et pourquoi ? Grosses explications autour d'une petite onomatopée.
"Sexe & sounds", le podcast de Maïa Mazaurette tous les mardis sur ARTE Radio. 
Le sexe, tout le monde en parle - il paraît même qu'on en parle trop, et que ce serait du voyeurisme. Mais justement ! Parce que le voyeur utilise l'oeil, il a tendance à oublier l'oreille. Pour se réconcilier avec nos cinq sens, ARTE Radio propose chaque mardi "Sex & Sounds", le premier podcast dédié aux liaisons fructueuses entre plaisirs d'en-bas et sons d'en-haut. Des bruits du porno aux sextoys qui parlent, des langues de l'amour aux vibrations de nos jouets intimes, en passant par les mystères de l'ASMR et des musiques qui donnent envie...

Sex and sounds (n°1) : Premiers soupirs

Parce que certains sextoys ont des voix intégrées, ils nous racontent, en creux, ce que nous aimerions entendre. Attention, ce podcast contient des voix d'hommes gutturales chaudes comme la braise. Et pas mal de vibrations.

Sex and sounds (n°2) : La voix des sextoys

In 1988, a man in Hickory, NC was sentenced to life in prison based on evidence that experts would later call "junk science." It took him 24 years to convince someone to look at the evidence again.

Episode 80: Photo, Hair, Fingerprint

This hour of Radiolab, a look behind the curtain of how memories are made...and forgotten. Remembering is an unstable and profoundly unreliable process--it’s easy come, easy go as we learn how true memories can be obliterated, and false ones added. And Oliver Sacks joins us to tell the story of an amnesiac whose love for his wife and music transcend his 7-second memory.
