#18- ASMR: Sex or Therapy?

Do you like it when somebody whispers gently into your ear? Strokes a brush along your cheek? Bites down on a crunchy pickle? These are just some of the triggers you can find among the millions of ASMR videos on Youtube. But what actually is ASMR? Why are so many people using it to fall asleep at night? Not everybody gets the tingles. We interview Dr Craig Richard to find out what this response says about your personality and whether it is or isn’t sexual. ASMR artist and NSFW content creator Karuna Satori also weighs in on the sex debate and tells the shocking story of how ASMR saved her life. On top of this, we create some triggers of our own and wonder, is ASMR a cure to loneliness in modern times? Can it be used as a tool for greater intimacy and well-being?

#16- The Best A Man Can Get?

Do you sometimes feel trapped in your role as a man? We speak to The Naked Professor, Ben Bidwell about how he overcame the confines of masculinity to embrace vulnerability and started a mental health podcast with his co-host, Matt Johnson. Ben’s not the only one frustrated with kind of fast cars and novelty socks manliness. After working at Playboy, Josh Schollmeyer decided to co-found his own publication, MEL Magazine, to start having the kinds of conversations men have in real life. He believes that post #metoo, it’s time for men to step-up and make a change. Josh’s ethos does away with boxing people into archetypes and instead, brings some curiosity to the table to ask what really is the best a man can get?
