👋HEY ALL!

We are back recording in-studio for Future of Sex Season 4 in New York City...

It's been a blast so far exploring plant medicine, dating culture, changing models of relationships and the ecology of porn and its future.

If you're keen to listen to the first episode when it drops (or check out the entire back catalogue), you can follow along on Spotify or Apple.

Lots to digest, and excited to hear Stephen's episode on RN's Future Tense next month which unpacks this in more detail. I'll be sure to share it here.

Are you in NYC right now?

We're planning a reallllllly exciting event in New York for Monday, September 30.

Add your name to the secret guest-list to be the first to find out about it... 👀
