At the top of each episode, all four queer Black hosts (or "hoes" as they prefer to say) start with an intro on how they identify. But it's the explicit mission of Inner Hoe Uprising to embed as many different identities and experiences of sex and love into the show's foundation. Many sex and relationship podcasts, while inclusive in subject matter and guests, are still predominantly hosted by white, cis, heterosexual, monogamous women. Why it's great: It's impossible for a panel of hosts to represent the full spectrum of human sexuality in all its infinite forms, orientations, intersections, and preferences - but Inner Hoe Uprising gets the closest. What it is: One of (if not the most) diverse sex and relationship weekly podcasts reclaiming sexual conversations for marginalized identities, orientations, and bodies. It's a podcast designed to spark the sexual curiosity of Black audiences seeking satisfaction that's uninhibited by the white male gaze. But The Turn On's bread and butter is its unique structure: First, one host reads a piece of erotic literature, then the two talk about what they did or didn't like about it. Some episodes are more freeform interviews with experts on topics like kinks, toys, sex education, and sexual difficulties.
The Turn On is a counter to that, with sex educator Erica Easter and author Kenrya Rankin leading raunchy but still approachable conversations around what gets them off as two Black women. Why it's great: When you're part of a marginalized group, discussions around your sexuality tend to get politicized, often at the cost of more personal conversations around individual experiences.
What it is: Created explicitly for Black audiences, The Turn On uses literary erotica as a jumping-off point for discussions around getting off and sexual liberation.
