Summary

When Nicole Daedone walked into a party in 1998, she was unexpectedly introduced to a “new sexuality practice.” This awakening would spawn an idea: a company centered around embracing the power of the female orgasm. OneTaste made a splash with the likes of Silicon Valley movers and shakers, but as with any belief system monetized under capitalism, a cult of manipulation would eventually reveal itself beneath the whole endeavor.

0:00.0	Strangers, I'm writing this ad using our newest sponsor, Grammarly.
0:06.7	Grammarly is a grammar assistant that helps me create clear, engaging documents that make me look
0:12.3	a lot smarter than I actually am. For instance, by suggesting I take out the word actually from
0:18.0	that last sentence, which I'm not actually going to do because being ungrammatical is sort of my
0:24.1	brand. But believe it or not, sometimes I write things other than this podcast. So when my
0:29.7	writing needs to be without made up words and intentionally bad grammar for comedy purposes,
0:35.6	I use Grammarly. That way, my son's principle doesn't think I'm a literal clown when I email her
0:41.5	with my concerns about his utterly abhorrent grammar. See what I did there. Fortunately for my son,
0:47.9	when he enters the workforce, Grammarly will be there to correct his misuse of commas. That way,
0:53.5	he'll never be the person who sends an unintentionally-turs email when all he meant to do was,
0:58.3	you know, correct an employee's grammar. Grammarly takes your business correspondence from,

1:35.4	Have you ever discovered something life-changing? And if so, where did you go from there?
1:41.2	From telling a friend to starting a cult, there are all kinds of lengths people go to to share their
1:47.8	passions and profit off of them. Welcome to Strange and Unexplained with me, Daisy Egan. I'm a writer
1:55.4	and an actor who wholeheartedly believes in women's liberation and pleasure and is wholeheartedly
2:00.9	confused by the methods the protagonist of today's story used to try to achieve women's liberation
2:07.2	and pleasure. And by the way, today's story is not suitable for kiddies or for those of you who
2:13.6	are squeamish about frank discussions of sex. So, let's meet that confusing protagonist of today's
2:20.9	story, shall we? Nicole Daydone grew up in Los Gatos, California about 50 miles away.
