Summary

A gay man seeks out masseuses who turn out to be erotic body workers. They initiate a sexual encounter, which the caller enjoys very much. But is it wrong to see them? And why do they recoil when he tries to touch them? Night Terror! A woman had a great time with a dom who tied her up and got her deep into sub space, with no sex. He slept on the couch. But that night she woke him up screaming from a nightmare. He got out of there fast. Now, he’s annoyed with her, and she feels abandoned. On the Magnum, Dan brings on Evan Urquhart, a trans man who covers trans issues for Slate. They talk about “chasers” -people who are specifically attracted to trans folks. They also dig into the confusion around trans women vs. cis male cross-dressers. And, is there such a thing as a kink for infidelity? A woman loves to sneak around and have private adventures. But she doesn’t want to hurt her girlfriend. Is there a way she can satisfy her need to break some rules within the confines of an ethical non-monogamous relationship?

0:00.0	You're listening to the microversion of the Savage Love Cast at Savage.loaf.
0:23.6	Meat is a problem. It's a problem for our bodies, which can't handle the amount of meat we're all
0:28.8	shoving down our throats, and is a problem for the planet, which can't handle the amount of meat
0:33.4	we're producing on it to meet our insatiable demand for all that meat. We're shoving down our
0:38.3	throats. Before I go any further, I'm not judging anyone. I literally just had a hand sandwich
0:45.3	before I sat down to record. I'm having leftover turkey for dinner tonight. I am part of the meat
0:51.6	problem, and it is a problem. Agriculture, the food business accounts for 35% of greenhouse gas
0:58.0	emissions, which we have to get down, or not to put too fine a point on it. We're all going to die,
1:05.0	and meat production represents more than half of that total. 60% of the greenhouse gases produced
1:10.5	by farms, by farming, by big ag, and small ag comes from raising meat for carnivores like me,
1:19.5	and statistically speaking on average, like you. Shortwave, the Daily Science podcast from NPR
1:26.3	recently covered a potential fix for our collective addiction to meat. Host Aaron Scott interviewed NPR
1:32.8	health correspondent, Alison Aubrey, on a meat substitute that's technically at least at a
1:38.3	cellular level still meat. So now there's growing interest in a very new way to produce meat
1:45.9	without slaughtering animals. So you're not talking here about making plants taste like meat,
1:51.4	which is to say like the Beyond Burger and Impossible burgers. You're actually talking about
1:56.9	animal meat, but without the animals. That's right. And I talked to the founder of a company that's
2:02.1	a leading start up in this space. His name is Dr. Uma Valetti, and he's a cardiologist. And more
2:08.7	than 15 years ago, he had this kind of Eureka moment when he realized that it could be possible to
2:14.9	extract cells from animals and grow meat directly from those cells. He got the idea when he was
2:21.1	working at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, and he was working with heart attack patients. We were
2:26.5	working on stem cells. We were taking stem cells from patients who had a very large heart attack.
