Over Bothered Stories: Smut Talks

Smut Talks is a podcast about pleasure, power, and what happens when desire takes up space. From the creators of Bothered Stories, each episode features bold voices in the smut and sex-positive world—from NYT bestselling romance authors to burlesque performers to sex educators, and more—unpacking the cultural forces that shape how we think about storytelling, intimacy, and self-expression. We'll explore desire in all its forms—on the page and beyond.

Hot Takes on Hot Writing: Behind the Scenes at Bothered Stories

What actually goes into creating great erotica? In this behind-the-scenes episode, we sit down with the Chief Editor of Bothered Stories to unpack the full journey—from submission to final story. We get into how pieces are vetted, what separates a good story from a standout one, and the editorial decisions that shape what gets published. We also dive into the craft itself: what makes a sex scene hot (and what makes it fall flat), how to write with both heat and substance, and why the best erotica is about far more than what body parts move where. Beyond the writing, we talk about intention—specifically, the importance of elevating marginalized voices in this genre, and how Bothered Stories is actively working to expand who gets to be seen, heard, and desired in erotic storytelling. Whether you’re a writer, a reader, or you're just curious about it all, this episode pulls back the curtain on how erotica—and Bothered Stories—really works.

Smut as Resistance: Writing Latinx Love Stories

Angelina M. Lopez, bestselling author of After Hours on Milagro Street, joins us to talk about the impact of “ferocious love stories”—her emotionally rich, deeply sexy romances that center Latina heroines, legacy, anger, and joy. In this conversation, we explore: * How pleasure and resistance fuel each other in politically volatile times * What makes a sex scene actually hot (hint: it’s not the mechanics) * How the dismissal of romance is rooted in the devaluing of women’s work * Writing Latin American stories as an act of cultural preservation and humanization This episode is about how smut can be deeply subversive. Angelina's writing centers the intersection of joy and anger, escapism and resistance--and we get into all of it in this conversation.
