This is an extraordinary piece, congratulations! I have already listened to it four times. However, I'm confused by part of the timeline. I was under the impression it took 10 hours to reach the bottom of the cave. How - on the second dive - could Dave have reached the bottom, died trying to attach the corpse, and floated up to where Ian - who had followed Dave only by 14 minutes - spotted his flashlight? In addition, how could Ian be convinced that Dave was dead rather than having made it to the surface? I don't quite understand why Ian wouldn't have asked instead of stating it on his writing slate. I'd be grateful for clarification, especially of my former question. Thank you very much, for this piece in particular! Rikki 

I agree!... I come back regularly to listen again.  HAUNTING tale.

Hey Tate - sorry for such a late response.  You are looking for Julianna Barwick (Sanguine album).  Beautiful work.

The music in this piece is exquisite.  What an amazing choice here.

In the desert of northern South Africa you come across a little puddle.  If you dive down into that puddle, at the bottom there is a slot.  This is the entrance to third largest freshwater cave in the world. This is where the adventure begins.

Unseen & Unheard

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

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.
Sexe & sounds, le podcast de Maïa Mazaurette : des bruits du porno aux sextoys qui parlent, des langues de l'amour aux mystères de l'ASMR et des musiques qui donnent envie... 
Réalisation : Samuel Hirsch - Texte & voix : - Maïa Mazaurette

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

Le dirty talking ou dirty talk : en français, le parler sale. Les trucs un peu hard qu'on (se) dit au lit. La sexualité étant un espace hautement culturel, on a même réussi à codifier le dérapage – il s'agit d'être explicite mais pas trop, de se dire des cochonneries mais pas trop. Maïa Mazaurette donne quelques conseils de bon sens illustrés de sons réjouissants.

Sex and sounds (n°4) : Dirty talking

De Catwoman aux bêtes humaines, on adore sexualiser notre part animale... ou animaliser notre part sexuelle ! La manière dont nous exprimons notre plaisir bruisse de miaous, grrr et autres han-han. Quand les mots nous manquent, nous revenons à un état fantasmé de nature - au risque d'amputer nos galipettes d'une humanité qui nous est bien spécifique. Et qui nous serait sacrément bénéfique.​

Sex and sounds (n°25) : Comme des bêtes

L'humour est partout, l'humour fait vendre, pourtant le rire au lit passe souvent pour une mauvaise nouvelle. Nous sommes sérieux comme des papes. Nous avons la trouille que ce rire soit un jugement. Nous nous demandons si l'expression "femme qui rit, à moitié dans ton lit" ne recouvre pas un énorme malentendu : et si cette femme qui rit, au lieu d'entrer dans notre lit... était occupée à en sortir ?
