Porn Nerds
Porn Nerds is a podcast mini-series exploring porn and our sex lives. It offers a fresh take on a subject shrouded in stigma, covering topics including porn’s role as de facto sex education, what it’s like to work in the adult entertainment industry, how to talk about porn in relationships, and what happens when we take adult films back to the cinema. Hosted by Squirm’s co-founders Kels and Tess, the series blends humor, research, guest interviews, and testimonials from everyday people who love porn, loathe porn, or fall somewhere in between.
Porn Nerds is a co-production of Squirm and BOOM Integrated, the podcast division of GRAMMY-winning audiobook leader John Marshall Media. For more information about Porn Nerds, visit getsquirmy.com/pornnerdspod.
Porn Nerds is hosted by Tessah Joseph and Kelsey Peake, co-founders of Squirm. Tessah earned a Master’s degree in Sexuality from the University of Amsterdam, where she studied the adult entertainment industry and how adults learn about sex. Kelsey is an event producer and the daughter of a sex worker. She has been writing, directing, producing, and performing for film and theater since 2013.
