Indecent with Kiki Andersen

Next Chapter Podcasts, Kiki Andersenncpodcasts.com
Comedian Kiki Andersen finds the funny in the most uncomfortable corners of our culture. Sex. Politics. Religion. But in the digital age, what can and can’t be talked about at the dinner table has changed dramatically. Indecent is a podcast all about what’s off-limits and who sets the boundaries for today’s taboos. Through conversations with comedians, psychologists, journalists, theologians and scientists, Kiki peels at the wallpaper of polite society on Indecent, where NSFW meets LMAO.

Author Dominic Milton Trott has made it his life's mission to make sure everybody from nervous newbies to seasoned psychonauts know what they're getting into, one substance at a time.

Episode 1 - "Dream Blunt Rotation" with Benjamin Y. Fong (Quick Fixes: Drugs in America from Prohibition to the 21st Century Binge)

If we haven't made it clear yet, Indecent's main guiding principle is pretty simple: no narcs allowed. Especially when we invite academic and author Benjamin Y.

Episode 14 - "Deconstructed DNA for Dinner" with Dr. Lauren Crossland-Marr (A CRISPER Bite)

No matter how you slice it, taste is subjective. Afterall, some of you probably argue that kombucha doesn't have the same flavor profile as horse piss. But one undeniable truth that food anthropologist Dr. Lauren Crossland-Marr genereously serves up is that there some pretty wild things going on with what we eat. Dr. Lauren Crossland-Marr is a cultural anthropologist, who currently teaches at the University of Delaware. She previously worked as a postdoctoral researcher with GEAP-3, a network of...

So Extra: Keep On Scrolling with Natalie Beach

The truth can be tricky. Especially with things like photoshop and deep fakes casting doubt on everything from geopolitical conflicts to whether or not your favorite Insta model had buccal fat removal. Most of us probably have a healthy skepticism of everything we scroll past. But writer Natalie Beach knows from her friendship with influencer/OG scam queen Caroline Calloway that the journey through the little rectangular looking glasses in our hands goes way deeper than we think...

So Extra: More to Be Afraid of from J.W. Ocker

Spooky Season may only come once a year. But you can always keep a special place in your heart for the spirit of clawed, drooling monstrosities that want to tear off your flesh or plant their eggs in your brain, year round. That's why we gave folklore historian J.W. Ocker even more space to unleash these nightmares on you, the unsuspecting listeners... J.W. Ocker is the award-winning author of macabre travelogues, spooky kid’s books, and horror novels. His nonfictions books include The New Engla...

Episode 12 - "Going Ghost, Ghoul & Goblin Mode" with J.W. Ocker (Odd Things I've Seen)

They lurk in your unlit basement or under your kid's bed, in crumbling old houses and the bushes outside cheerleader's slumber parties. Come to think of it, some creatures of the night aren't just physically dangerous. They kinda have a creepy, Cosby-like, "cop a feel while you're sleeping" type vibe. So we asked horror writer J.W. Ocker to help find the source of our fascination with these frightening figures. J.W. Ocker is the award-winning author of macabre travelogues, spooky kid’s books, an...

So Extra: A Hell of A Lot More with Chelsey Weber-Smith

It's always "Hail Satan," and never "How is Satan?" Seriously, he must be really burnt out from being the source of all of everyone's problems for thousands of years.

If you found out all of your neighbors, co-workers and vague acquaintances were cannibalistic, demon-worshipping child molesters, would that make you feel better or worse about the nature of reality, overall?

So Extra: All the Rest from Katie Martell

In February it's Black Power fists. In June it's rainbow flags. Corporations are so quick to co-opt any cultural symbol they can, it's hard to believe there are any that won't end up stenciled onto the side of a Starbucks cup as soon as it's seasonally appropriate. But marketing maven Katie Martell knows so much more about how to cut through their bullsh*t and expose just how "woke" these companies really are.

So Extra: Upping the Body Count with Dr. Amanda Vicary

We have nothing to fear but our romantic partners, business associates, neighbors and random lunatics, all of whom seem to be capable of knifing us in the back at a moment's notice, apparently. At least that's what psychologist Dr. Amanda Vicary says our true crime obsession is training us to believe, and she has more to say on what that means for our society.

Staircase spills, ODing on pills, or getting terminally ill. There are a thousand ways to die out there.

Episode 8 - "Right-Wing Brain Rot" with Jesse Dollemore (Dollemore Daily) & Brittany Page (Page Perspective)

It kinda feels like the lunatics have taken over the asylum when it comes to the American political system these days. And when the going gets tough (and also crazy, Christian extremist) it's always a good idea to call on someone who's escaped the world of gun-toting, climate-denying death cultists to try to figure what planet these people think they're living on. So we tapped political commenters Jesse Dollemore and Brittany Page to steer us through this idiot shitstorm. Jesse Dollemore is a fo...
