Full Cow: Edge Talks Leather and Kink

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1956840/open_sms] Ever wondered what happens in the space between podcast seasons? That strange limbo where creators seem to disappear? This candid update pulls back the curtain on the very real human struggle behind creative work. The journey toward Season Four of Full Cow faces several interconnected challenges that many content creators silently battle. There's the daily energy taxation of existing in our current political climate—that feeling of waking up with a full battery only to spend a significant portion just creating enough psychological space to function. Then there's the recent discovery of old trauma living in the body, demanding healing work through acupuncture and somatic practices that, while necessary, consume precious time and resources. Add to this the paradox of needing to block weekends for rest while those same weekends were previously dedicated to podcast production. All these factors compound in a life without the multiplicative energy boost that partnership provides—what I call "a whole extra battery." Despite these realities, Season Four is taking shape. I'm developing episodes on chastity's intersection with dominance, creating a new "Makers" segment highlighting craftspeople in our community, exploring the Old Guard traditions, and unpacking insights from the newly republished Leatherman's Handbook. The schedule may become more flexible than previous seasons' bi-monthly releases, but the commitment remains unwavering—this work will continue. Your messages of appreciation and encouragement make all the difference. When creating feels like "sitting in an empty room talking to no one," hearing that this podcast matters to you provides the fuel to keep going. If Full Cow has touched your life in any way, please reach out. Your voice matters precisely because it reminds us why these conversations about leather culture, kink, and authentic connection must continue—especially in challenging times. Stay subscribed, stay patient, and know that your support is helping build Season Four, one small energy reserve at a time. Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lthredge] Ask Edge!

Join me as we wrap up the third season of Full Cow with exciting revelations and stats that highlight our journey. From Chicago leading the way in listener numbers to our podcast reaching 88 countries, it's been a year of impressive growth. Discover why "Chastity and Milking" and "Mentors" topped the charts, and how personal teaching anecdotes tie into these themes. With a 36% increase in listeners and a 73% boost in Spotify followers, it’s clear that our audience is expanding, especially among those aged 35-44. Reflecting on how this podcast evolved from a post-breakup project to a globally recognized show, I am filled with gratitude for your support. Get a sneak peek into what season four has in store, with a focus on dominant chastity and a brand new mini-segment called "Makers," inspired by my encounter with Chris from Steelworks. This segment will shine a light on creators within the kink community, starting with Steelworks and potentially featuring others like Fetish Daddy. We'll revisit popular episodes like "Origins" and "Leather" with fresh perspectives, and you can expect new theme music and cover art. As we prepare for a season launch around April, I'm energized by your stories and feedback. Your engagement fuels this podcast, and I can't wait to bring these exciting new elements to life.
