Free Sex - With a podcast name that is certainly going to raise eyebrows, this is the latest podcast by Adam Zmith, one of the creators of the award-winning LGBTQ history podcast The Log Books and author of the recent book Deep Sniff: A History of Poppers and Queer Futures.

In this new series, Zmith poses a simple question: why aren’t we having the sex that we want? This series explores how society can be holding us back, from the rise of sexually transmitted infections to gay shame. There’s a discussion on the funding shortfalls and political discussions around sex and the importance of nighttime welfare. 

The podcast is supported by its listeners via Substack, which you can support by heading to their site. As a side-note, it is interesting to see how Substack is being used as a way to build up revenue.
