We are very excited to announce that Wicked Grounds has launched a new podcast!

Every two weeks, we'll be recording in front of a live studio audience right here at Wicked Grounds, and posting the results for kinksters everywhere to download wherever you are!

Our first episode introduces the team -- co-hosts Mir from Wicked Grounds, Cyn from the SF Citadel, and Ishmael from Picklewater Industries, who serves as our co-host and producer. You'll learn about the nuances of animal play, how Mir became kinky, and how to strengthen kink community wherever you are! You can listen or download right here to hear the whole episode.

Interested in joining us for the next live recording? Join us at Wicked Grounds on Wednesday, August 30th for a discussion on negotiation and consent!
