In this session from the 2022 Blk Pod Festival, Nidia Serrano and Jazmine Henley-Brown sit down for a conversation about the Black Podcast Boom. More specifically, they’re breaking down the research and data from the 2021 Black Listeners Report from SXM Media and Edison Research.

They discuss how Jazmine got into the podcasting space, how the podcasting space is growing, and whether or not the industry is getting more diverse. They discuss the different trends they see in the industry, how large companies scout talent for new shows, and the role of video in amplifying audio in podcasting. 

Nidia also talks about the role of podcasting when it comes to community building and socializing. Jazmine dissects the different growing genres of podcasts, from true crime to comedy, historical, and fiction. They discuss the power that podcasters have when it comes to ad reads and driving sales and what advertisers look for in podcasters before signing sponsorship deals.

In this episode, we have Ladawn Lanier, Sexologist, and Psychologist. I feel that the majority of moms who listen to this episode will walk away feeling relieved. LaDawn normalized everything I was feeling. I literally felt like I went to a therapy session. 

A sexologist is usually a psychologist or therapist who has taken specialized courses in sex education. LaDawn shares that the biggest myth is that if you go to a sex therapist, you'll be required to have sex right there in the office- that's NOT going to happen she says. 

Take comfort in knowing that our sexual wants/desires change over the course of our life and the best thing we can do is to communicate and be sure our partners comprehend what we are saying so that we continue to stay on the same page. 

Here are some key takeaways from my time spent with LaDawn:

1. Everything doesn't have to be a penis and vagina! Enjoy the journey start the four play in the morning- send text messages, stick post-it notes in most visual areas.
2. Don't limit yourself to the bedroom.  
3. Put sex on the calendar and/or get a babysitter- go to the hotel!
4. To get in the mood- take a shower; know and communicate what feels good to you. 
5. Get some sleep!
