Hi there, and welcome to the Body Storytelling podcast. I am sexual folklorist Dixie de la Tour, and I can't believe I'm saying this, y'. All, this is episode 100 of the podcast, you exceptional human being. I hope your week is going well. I have been giving a lot of thought to this week's episode. Not just this week, for a long time. I never thought we'd make it to this point. I started the podcast in 2013. I didn't like what I produced, and I promptly gave it up. Back in 2016, I tried again because I like podcasts. I was like, it's perfect. It's a perfect medium for what we do. And it means that the stories that I produce on a stage can go out to the entire world. It really did change my life. The emails that I would get telling me that, that story, how it made you feel less alone, how you thought you were the only one where you didn't know anybody who talked about these things, and you couldn't believe there were other people like you. All of that made me go. Podcasting needs to be my life. Not just a room in San Francisco with hundreds of people. It needs to go out to millions of people. And it has. But I hit a point where I was dealing with deep, dark depression, a loss of a family member, some technical difficulties, and I gave up. I didn't give up entirely. I knew I would return to it, but it stopped for a long time. And it was really disconcerting. The number of emails that I got from people who said, you don't realize how much I need the Body Storytelling podcast in my life. It's my favorite podcast. The day that it comes out is my favorite day of the week, and I need that to look forward to. I need to hear these stories. I got back to it, and I feel like it's gotten better. You know how you have that perfectionist in your head who was always saying, it's not good enough, it's not good enough. It could be better. Why don't we wait until we can make it better? The one in my head is loud. And the great thing about producing a live stage show is even though the storyteller wants to keep working on it, and even though I'm like, it's not quite there, night of show, wherever you are, that's what you put on stage. And that deadline has been good for me because otherwise I would get mired down in the world of. I know I can make it better. So let's wait till then. Then you don't produce anything. You just sit there, stuck inside your own perfectionism. Episode 100 is an episode that I wanted to be perfect. I've been thinking about this for months, and nothing felt just right. Nothing felt good enough. I listen to the people who get on my stage when they walk off stage, like, oh, my God, that was such a high. But I felt like if I had an extra couple of weeks, I could have made it the thing I dreamed of. And I really relate to that problem. So I started thinking, is there a moment that I've had that I felt content with what I put on stage, with this, with the final stories at every show, People who've been going for four years, for seven years, from the very beginning, for just about 13 years, at the end of the night, I had people going, that was the best body I've ever been to. That was it. That was the one. And I always try and not wrinkle up my face, not scrunch it up and go, really? Really? You thought that was the best one? Because it never measures up to what's in my head. I decided for episode 100, it should be the stories. The night of stories that I walked off stage when people went, that was the best one. That was definitely the best one I've ever been to. It's the only time, I think, in this entire history of this show that I stood there, did not scrunch up my nose, and went, I think you were right. I feel really good about that show. That night is going to be the Kinktacular show that we did back in Folsom that you heard me talk about a few months ago. I was riding the high when I recorded the podcast right after that show because I felt so good about the stories. I felt so good about that Sold out night. How people who'd flown in from all over the world were just blown away that this thing existed. Episode 100 is going to be part one of the Kingtacular show that we produced, the night of Folsom street fair back on September 29th. Folsom Street Fair happens every year in San Francisco. The world's largest kink event happens in September in San Francisco. And that's when all those people high off of being around 350,000 people, half a million people at a street fair, being their authentic freaky perverted selves. All of those people, well, not all of those people came to the Verdi Club to sit and enjoy a CBT or an ethical slut or a unicorn's butthole. Those are cocktails, by the way, come together in story. This episode is Kinktacular Part 1, and I hope you like it. One last thing before we get into stories. I have. Well, okay, it's not one last thing. It's three last things. Three last things before we get into story. I was reading something about podcasting this morning and they said that one in four listeners gave to support their podcast. People support the causes they feel are important. And I'm going to ask you to go to patreon.com bodi and support us at any level. Any level helps. I'm an artist and you supporting me as a patron, that's what keeps this thing going. It could go away at any time. I love it and I don't want it to. But if you go to patreon.com bodi and you support us, that's ongoing support to make sure that this podcast keeps rolling out every single week. If you'd like another way you can support us through Zelle, you can Support us through PayPal. If you want to do a one time donation, that is great and I appreciate it so much. That's one thing patreon.com body second thing is we just released our first merchandise. It's not what I thought it would be. I figured everybody starts with T shirts and tote bags and all those things, but I had this incredible opportunity to work with a perfume company called Sucrobay. And don't ask me to spell it because I can't. It is impossibly French. But they asked me to create a signature scent and for the last month or so I've been getting packages every other day with new fragrances for me to choose. And we have a new fragrance. It has this cartoon of me on the front of the bottle that is just I love it so much. And I've created my first perfume and it is called Body Got Me Laid because, you know, I think it would. I think when they lean in and they get a whiff of this, you are going to have a busy night. It's pretty much non gendered. It smells wonderful. If you go to bodystorytelling.com merchandise, you can see a description of the scent. We also have body butter.
