In the beginning…
October 9, 2011
…there were two. Sarah B. & Erin B. and together we conquered issues and questions important to our listeners at KDUR.
It all started as a casual discussion among friends about how best to get information out to the people who want to know about topics related to sexuality. We wanted to create a safe space that presented positive views about sex, partners, lovers, friends with benefits, identities, orientations, labels, un-labels, slang, medical terms, sexual positions, behaviors, consent, and anything else we could come up with relating to sexuality.
Out of this conversation Sex In Your Ear (Sarah’s idea!) was born and we began by recording our first show because I was having my commitment ceremony the week of our scheduled show. After that I drove from Boulder, CO to Durango, CO once a month to jump on the air with Sarah B. to talk sex.
In our early days, we talked for two hours late in the evening with music and videos mixed in to entertain. We answered listeners questions on air but never at any point were we allowed to take questions live. This was the one rule we had to follow in order for Sex In Your Ear to air…except we also had to steer clear of certain words but that’s a FCC rule and not one from the college. (I think I’ll save those naughty words for a later post.)
After about six months of live, two-hour long shows, Sarah and I reevaluated the show and moved to two, 30 minute shows rotating each month. This way we got out more information and the show was airing weekly instead of once a month. We rocked this schedule until the driving finally drove me crazy (it’s a six to seven hour drive through the mountains, one-way). My hope is that we can find a way to bring Sex In Your Ear back to KDUR even if I’m not physically in the space.
So what now? Now I figure out how to air a podcast and/or video blogging and bring Sex In Your Ear to a larger audience!
What makes this show different from all the others? The information is driven by your questions and my desire to provide the very best in positive, medically accurate, funny, helpful answers. Let me know what is on your mind and I’ll get you a sexy answer!
