Summary
In this New Year’s Eve episode of Unzipping Taboos , we take a moment to look back on our first full calendar year of podcasting—and everything that’s shifted along the way. Highlighting how Unzipping Taboos has evolved into a show that meets the moment, engages with current events, and stays rooted in real-world experiences. We dig into what our Spotify Wrapped data actually tells us (and what it doesn’t), reflecting on why episodes like The Truth About Body Count , Sex and Aging , and our pelvic floor conversations continue to resonate and get shared. For us, the numbers matter less than what they represent: a growing audience that’s hungry for honest, accessible conversations about sexual health—without shame, sensationalism, or clickbait. We also talk openly about our own journeys into sex education and advocacy—why we do this work, how curiosity and resistance shape the show, and what it’s meant to stay authentic while tackling topics like men’s health, pelvic floor health, sexual trauma recovery, consent, and agency. Along the way, we reflect on how modeling boundaries, communication, and the power of consent has become part of the podcast itself. As we close out the year, we share our gratitude—for our listeners, our guests, our partners (including JackandJillAdult.com), and everyone who’s helped make this first year possible. We also look ahead to what’s coming next: continuing to use this space as one of learning, activism, and connection. Thank you for being part of our first year. We’re just getting started!
