Summary

We are on a roll for all-time fangirl moments! In this episode we interview podcast icon Dan Savage of the Savage LoveCast! We learn all about the changes in the field of human sexuality Dan has witnessed as a sex columnist since the 90’s (and podcaster since 2006), as well as his thoughts on the ever-shifting language around sex, gender and orientation. We also explore various terms in his latest book Savage Love From A to Z including DTMFA, Fuck First, GGG, Monogamish, secret perving, and why Dan's top sex and relationship advice is to ask your partner “What are you into?”. About our guest: Dan Savage is a sex-advice columnist, a podcaster, an author, and has appeared on numerous television shows. “Savage Love,” Dan’s sex-advice column, first appeared in The Stranger, Seattle’s alternative weekly, in 1991. The column is now syndicated worldwide. Dan has published seven books. In 2006, Dan launched the Savage Lovecast, a weekly, call-in, sex advice podcast. It has 300,000 unique monthly downloads and 100,000 paying subscribers for premium “Magnum” content. It ranks consistently in the top ten Sexuality podcasts on Apple Podcasts. He created and curates the HUMP! Film Festival, a sex-positive showcase of short films, now in its 18th year. HUMP! has become a national phenomenon selling tens of thousands of tickets, screening in over 50 cities across the United States and Canada and streaming worldwide. In 2010 Dan and his husband Terry Miller founded the It Gets Better Project. The IGBP has gathered tens of thousands of videos from people all over the world offering hope to LGBT kids. The book—It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living—was a New York Times best seller. In 2012 the It Gets Better Project was awarded an Emmy.
