Summary

An ex-punker and a Jesus-lovin' jock have earth-shattering sex, but that's about it. Can their relationship survive based on sex alone? Shit in the mouth: Safe? Sexy? A real, live grammar fetishist calls and reads off some of her favorite words. After hearing tales of violence as a result of the drug trade in Mexico, Dan is forced to defend marijuana use. But he feels terribly guilty about it. And more, more, more. 206-302-2064.

0:00.0	You're listening to a Stranger podcast, www.w.com.
0:08.6	Hey, everybody. Welcome to another installment of the Savage Lovecast. I'm Dan Savage,
0:12.7	and this is the once a week out of a podcast version of my sex advice column, Savage Love.
0:17.3	Before we get to your multitudinous calls, I have to give a shout out to my good friend, Alexander Wolf, who writes Wolf's Den, a column at informationweek.com.
0:31.5	Wolf wrote a column this week about podcasting, which he writes was famously born in 2000 when Tristan Lewis, Dave,
0:38.1	winner, and former MTV, Vijay, and legend in his own mind, Adam Curry, variously crystallizing
0:42.8	the concept, creating a market for audiophiles and kind of a lot of the RSSs, blah, blah, blah.
0:46.5	And he's declaring podcasting dead.
0:50.3	Alexander Wolfe is very disappointed in podcasting and in people who download podcasts and listen to podcasts because, as he writes, I expected to find when he went to see what the most popular podcasts out there were.

1:12.9	Instead, I see it's stuff like Dan Savage's Savage Love podcast, Yoga, Amazing, and Ask a Ninja.
1:23.0	So it seems that the audience for podcasts has disappointed Alexander Wolfe, and therefore

1:36.9	tech-geeky as Alexander Wolf himself.
1:41.8	So you've been very naughty.
1:47.8	You podcast listeners, obsessed with sex and yoga and putting tough questions to ninjas. And I'm not upset or hurt by this, this column by
1:54.5	Alexander Wolf holding up Savage Love cast as an example of the death of podcasting.
1:59.4	Because my sex advice column Savage Love has been held up for years as the death of podcasting. Because my sex advice column of Savage Love has been held up for years as
2:02.4	the death of newspapers, the death of sex, the death of love. I've been told so many times that my
2:08.5	sex advice column has set the gay rights movement back 50 years, that if I had to serve all those
2:14.4	50 years of setting back concurrently, it would be somewhere around 50,000 BC for the gay and lesbian civil rights movement at this point.
2:20.8	So I'm used to this.
