What happens when you try to date - and live - without alcohol? That’s the question at the heart of How To Get Wet When You’re Dry, a new podcast launched today (September 10th).
Created and hosted by journalist Anna Wolfe, the show brings candid, often funny conversations about sobriety, sex, shame and self-discovery. Wolfe, who has written for Teen Vogue, Wired and The Independent, invites guests from comedy, music, psychology and activism to share their own experiences, cutting through stigma around intimacy and addiction.
The first season includes appearances from Bob The Drag Queen, comedian and actress Margaret Cho, Gorillaz bassist Seye Adelekan and ‘Make Love Not Porn’ founder Cindy Gallop. Together, they explore everything from navigating relationships in recovery to body image, empowerment, and how communication might just be the real secret to good sex.
Rather than offering neat solutions, Wolfe leans into the messiness. “My recovery came from hearing others share honestly, not from having answers,” she says. The podcast mirrors that ethos — part support, part storytelling, with enough levity to make even the heaviest themes feel accessible.
Episode one is out now, with new episodes every Wednesday on all major podcast platforms.
