in the SF Chronicle!

by Violet Blue on August 11, 2005

I’m pinching myself, I’m in the San Francisco Chronicle (print and web), in an article about… sex podcasting!

“Hot, steamy and now downloadable: Aural sex shimmies into the podcast as ‘podnography’ trend takes off”

I’m totally freaking out about this line:

“The Bay Area’s Violet Blue, according to Gray Dancer, is ‘the goddess of sex podcasting.’”

Wow! What a huge compliment. I’m pretty speechless, to say the least. But I just have two questions after reading the article. Susie Bright is featured heavily, yet she does not have a podcast. She has a show on the pay-subscription service Audible.com, and she uses a professional radio studio, but no podcast. Confusion about the medium? I do end up educating journalists quite a bit in the interviews, both about podcasting (most don’t know what it is but want to write a story), and about sex. Also, why won’t my local newspaper’s site link to me? Full disclosure: I was persued for an interview for this piece, but wound up playing phone tag with the writer, who seems really nice — I have been so sick (yes, still sick, now on antibiotics) that anything except Fleshbot has been difficult to even think about. I just blog, sleep, blog, sleep… I want to do a new podcast but still sound just terrible.

Anyway, it’s an enjoyable article. And yay, I made it into my local paper! Thank you, Daniel King.
