Tips and Tricks to Produce a Hit!
More than two-thirds of Americans listen to podcasts—roughly 192 million people! And over 5 million podcasts stream globally. As the genre has grown, adult entertainment stars have embraced podcasting to promote their brand, expand their reach and share a new kind of intimacy with fans. Six popular porn podcast hosts—Ashley Matheson, Bree Mills, Holly Randall, Rae Richmond, Leigh Ann Steele and Tanya Tate—sat down with HUSTLER to explain what a modern podcast is all about, what it takes to be a good host, as well as a good guest, and to share some wonderfully juicy stories.
Ashley Matheson’s rise in the adult world began on TikTok. She gained popularity during the summer of 2019 by posting daily dance videos, and her fan base grew to almost 7 million followers. She uses this popularity to bring viewers to her Hotter Ones podcast. From her comfy studio, Matheson delves into the lives and experiences of digital creators, all the while promoting feminism, self-love and body positivity.
Writer, producer and creative director of the Adult Time network, Bree Mills hosts The ADULT TIME Podcast. Mills hosts notable people in adult content creation and encourages them to speak candidly about their lives and work. Launching the second season of her show last summer, Bree prides herself on discussing female sexuality and wellness.
A self-described “luminary in modern erotic storytelling,” director/photographer Holly Randall hosts her weekly Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast. Randall explores sexual topics with performers, authors and educators, and actively tackles misconceptions about XXX. Her mother is legendary photographer Suze Randall, and Holly is a famed photog in her own right. But she found her way from behind the lens to the mic in what she calls “a bit of an existential crisis.”
Author, actress and model Rae Richmond enjoyed a 30-year corporate career before taking the over-50 MILF and GILF markets by storm. Presently, the 57-year-old is a top OnlyFans creator, as well as the founder of the Creator Success Course for adult content creators. On her No Expiration Date podcast, Rae and her guests enjoy funny, feisty, irreverent topics—such as what it’s like being a cougar dating younger men.
From competing in bodybuilding events and working as a personal trainer for mainstream actors to feature-dancing under the stage name Lyssa Luck, Leigh Ann Steele enjoyed a diverse career even before kicking her adult content into high gear by starring in girl/girl scenes with the likes of Julie Strain, Alexandra Silk and Tera Patrick. She’s scored magazine covers and centerfolds, created a cam house and now hosts Hustlers 2 Housewives, a podcast about modern porn production.
