KH: Yeah, we’re sort of taking one for the team and putting it all out there. And the result of that was everyone feeling less ashamed about their own sexuality — which we didn’t really expect but then realized, “Oh, this is really cool.”

TSF: I feel like sex is an accessible, fun way into talking about feminism. Are you wary of getting too political for fear of alienating your audience and guests?

KH: I don’t think we really care. Whatever comes out of our mouths comes out of our mouths because that’s what’s on our minds. So we don’t really curate the topics we talk about before the podcast records. We just want to have an honest conversation. I mean, the most curating we do is that Corinne and I don’t really talk to each other before we record, so that everything we say is fresh and our reactions are genuine. That’s pretty much it though.

TSF: What do you think about taking back the word slut?

KH: Mmm.

CF: Mmm. [laughs]

CF: I feel like people are obsessed with words so much. And we talk about this a lot — there’s a constant fight between the comic in us and the woman in us...

KH: Yeah, there really is. When you hear someone call someone a slut and it’s all evil and grrr. They’re either jealous or they want to fuck her and they can’t fuck her. Those are the two main themes — they’re intimidated in some sort of way. When Corinne and I first started doing the recording, we would say the word ‘sexually-explorative’ instead of ‘slut,’ but then we started to gain a sense of humor about it and now we call each other sluts all the time on the podcast. Or if we’re reading a nasty letter that someone wrote us, we’ll be like, “Oh we’re just a bunch of whores.” You’ve gotta have a sense of humor about it. I feel like, with any woman who’s all “I don’t use the word slut,” I just roll my eyes. Because, yeah, we do use the word.
