Radio Pleasure Society

The Pleasure Society dives into a range of topics around sexuality, intimacy and pleasure.

What started as a self-recorded podcast, has developed itself into a monthly live radioshow on Amsterdam based radio station Echobox. All recordings of the radio show are also uploaded on here, so our community can listen back to all shows and get notifications of when a new episode is online.

Our podcast and radio show are part of a platform for sexuality. We break taboos around these topics in a playful, creative and openminded way.

We are a queer-owned business based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

If you want to tune in live (which is the most fun, really), keep an eye on the Instagram page of The Pleasure Society on @thepleasuresociety for updates.
