LOS ANGELES — Vivid Radio plans on debuting “Sluts & Scholars,” a weekly talk show co-hosted by counselor Nicoletta Heidegger and actor Simone.
The program — billed as a “shame-free, call-in talk show” — can be heard starting Thursday, April 5, from 2-3 p.m. (PDT) on SiriusXM channel 415 and on VividRadio.com.
“We’re excited about this opportunity to expand the audience for our show,” Heidegger said. “We know that our listeners are part of a rapidly growing trend to a more open minded, sex-positive population. This can mean a healthier attitude towards sex in general and we celebrate that.”
“Sluts & Scholars” was launched via podcast in May. Guests have included adult industry performers and experts of all types who offer ideas and philosophies on how to improve sex lives.
Next Thursday's guest is author Dr. Paul Joannides, author of "Pleasure is More Than What You Can Do With Your Penis With Dr. Paul Joannides."
Heidegger said, “Dr. Joannides’ book is a go-to classic that you can find on any sex therapist’s bookshelf. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Paul about what sex education is timeless, and also challenge some information with a more intersectional perspective.
"One of my favorite topics that Dr. Paul artfully describes is that of ‘premature ejaculation’ and all of the common misconceptions about it. While some of the perspectives come from a heterocentric approach, I feel that anyone with a penis, and anyone who loves someone with a penis should give this a listen!"
Listeners can call in on Thursdays at (855) 99-VIVID to chat with the hosts.
In addition to the live show on Thursdays, a previously recorded “Sluts & Scholars” podcast will air on Tuesdays on VividRadio in the same 2-3 p.m. time slot.
