EA059 - Labels in the Community
Do we need to catagorize each other? We speak with Master and slave 2009 title holders Master Kristina, Fink, and Esteban on labels in the community. We talk about how it can help us stay on a path...or limit us. They also call Dan a hippy freak! Is wife/slut/slave/clergy a lable? How do we get beyond labels? And they talk blowjobs that transend labels... We also talk with Princess Kali, who tells us about Kink Acedemy, an educational website that allows people to see educators and presenters from a variety of backgrounds. Plus, Leather Leadership conference, our own site Frolicon reporter, a new contest, a burning man in Ohio, AND our new logo unveiled!

EA055 - Chatting with slaves
This week we sit with a number of Ms lifestyle slaves and talk about some of the fantasy vs reality aspects of being a real time slave. We talk about the 'naked slave girl' fantasy many of them shared and ask them if they would still do it, if they have out grown it, or if they feel like a failure if they don't want it anymore. We also have an interview from slave retreat, an event dawn attended some time back with Castle Griffin. You can hear dawn sounding sad when she says it is time to go home. But they talk about the goal of a slave retreat at Castle Griffin. We also thank our new technical crew (even if they don't know we recruited them).

EA054 - Lifestyle
In the last few weeks, we brought you Sacred Kink, then Sex is Fun, so now we add the question of "Is this is a lifestyle?". And we also sit down and chat with the fantastic Sarah Sloan (http://twitter.com/SarahSloane) and Mollena Williams (http://twitter.com/MOLLENA) from our time at Dark Odyssey to the sounds of slap and tickle and moans in the back ground. We discuss another aspect of the lifestyle - recovery in the lifestyle. But wait, there is more - a quick conversation with Jsin, of Beat Me In St Louis, on that upcoming event. Great event, and time is running out to decide if this is what you make this one! And! I describe a scene with dawn in graphic details. *Rarr* And use her moans as a segway. We wrap all that up with a "shout out" to all those great Chicago people. And coffee.
