Sex advice and stories are aplenty these days. Finding the stuff that pertains to the modern-day kinkster can be a challenge. While not all of the below podcasts are only about kink, they all explore fetish related topics frequently enough to make it onto this top kink podcast list

Kink, Love & Other Intangibles

This kink podcast is brand-spanking new (its first episodes recorded only earlier this year). Hosted and produced by Seattle based grad student and sex-positive coach David Hathaway, Kink, Love, & Other Intangibles explores buzzy kink topics with a cerebral edge. From product reviews to discussions on gender labels, Kink, Love, & Other Intangibles fully lives up to its namesake. The podcast also accepts anonymous questions and answers them on air with compelling and knowledgeable guests.

Past Episode Highlights: Live coverage from KinkFest in Portland, an interview with one of Kink BNB's cofounders, and the evolution of kink identity.

Why you should listen: Soft-spoken but knowledgeable host David is an open-minded kinkster himself. He maintains a warm level of familiarity with novices and experienced players alike. His episodes approach kink objectively, but with an insider's perspective.

Full Disclosure Podcast - diverse and hilarious

Founded by San Francisco implant and comedian Eric Barry (now based in Chicago), Full Disclosure is a diverse kink podcast that's also hilarious. Unlike other podcasts that try to cover the full spectrum of sex but end up only covering the (mainstream) naughty bits. Full Disclosure serves up equal parts of porn stars, sex toys, socio-politics, and dominatrix interviews. Eric's guests usually straddle the worlds of performance comedy and sexpert, making for an equally entertaining and informative listen.

Past Episode Highlights: The psychology of BDSM, a look into queer comedy, and live puppy play.

Why you should listen: More like why you should watch–Full Disclosure takes the live stage every few months in Chicago. The live recording features guests from within the sex-positive community, a live demo, some combination of stand up comedy and sexy storytelling, and prizes donated by local sex toy stores. Plus, it's free.

Sex Gets Real

Co-hosts Dawn and Dylan are two gender fluid females with enough experience in sex, love, and experimentation to back, well, a kink podcast. The range of subjects their episodes tackle make for a very inclusive archive. Sex Gets Real offers information, tales, and interviews for everyone–be you queer, fat, questioning, or kinky. Many of their episodes involve or revolve around group sex or multiple-party sex.

Past Episode Highlights: Queer Porn Film Festival review, sex ed for teens, and men of leather.

Why You Should Listen: Podcasts are great, but they're time-consuming – except for this one! Their more recent episodes only run around twenty minutes (with exception to their interviews), and contain a time-stamped breakdowns of each episode. This way, listeners have the option of skipping ahead to the content they're most interested in hearing.
