Carnalcopia Podcast Announces Winter Schedule

Carnalcopia hosts Ashley Manta and Katie Mack announce the winter lineup of guests to appear on their podcast, Carnalcopia, which is hosted on the Swingset Network. Mack and Manta launched Carnalcopia this summer to share their perspective on sex, dating, and relationships. Manta is a writer, sex educator, and E-Commerce Manager for The Pleasure Chest in Los Angeles, while Mack is a writer and toy reviewer with a background in psychology. Both Ashley and Katie were recently named to kinkly.com's list of Top 100 Sex Blogging Superheroes of 2014. Carnalcopia has already released episodes on phone sex, masturbation, sexual shame and body confidence, and a variety of other topics, as well as an interview with Alex S. Morgan about hands-on sex education and a conversation with industry icons Carol Queen and Robert Morgan Lawrence that was recorded live at CatalystCon West. Mack and Manta will also be presenting a session on Cultivating Shame Resilience at next year's CatalystCon East conference. “Katie and I are thrilled with the way that listeners and the sex positive community have embraced Carnalcopia,” said Manta. “We’re looking forward to continuing the journey with them and our fantastic lineup of guests.” Upcoming episodes of Carnalcopia will include interviews with Sophie Delancey of TheArtofBlowjob.com on feminist porn, Dr. Justine Marie Shuey on sex education, and Polly Superstar on memoir and storytelling. The interview with Polly Superstar will also serve as a stop on the virtual book tour for her new book Polly: Sex Culture Revolutionary. Mack and Manta will also welcome Emily Lindin of The UnSlut Project to discuss slut-shaming and sexual bullying. "Slut-shaming is inextricably linked to the proliferation of sexual violence and gender inequality in our society," said Lindin. "I am excited to have the opportunity to discuss this topic with Katie and Ashley on Carnalcopia." New episodes of Carnalcopia can be found at CarnalcopiaPodcast.com and on iTunes and Stitcher Radio.
