EPISODE 147 - 'Vicky meets The Kinky Bros'

Vicky is joined by Andy for Episode 152, and somehow a perfectly innocent celebration of gorillas takes us exactly where you'd expect The Padded Cell to take it....filthy. We discover some surprisingly human behaviour from our hairy cousins, Andy introduces us to an internet subculture I had somehow completely missed, and Lady Lobotomy receives one of those messages that starts off complicated and very quickly becomes an absolute nightmare.There's also rescue-dog woes, a little trip down memory lane, some unexpected revelations about masculinity and a Fetish Factoid investigating the origins of a very familiar British word.Get in touch, we'd love to hear from you!▶︎ Support us on Patreon for bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/ThePaddedCellPodcast▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.co.uk▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.store Watch  the podcast on YouTube:▶︎ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ThePaddedCellPodcastFollow The Padded Cell for more:▶︎ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551425184285▶︎ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thepaddedcell_podcast/?hl=en-gb▶︎ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thepaddedcellpodcastRecorded and Produced by Vicky at The Padded Cell StudiosEp 1 - 120 recorded at: ▶︎ Web - http://www.liverpoolpodcaststudios.com

Vicky is joined once again by Sisi Wednesday and the episode kicks off with birthday funerals, rock ’n’ roll rebellion, microscopic horrors and a discovery that looks suspiciously familiar to Star Wars fans.Sisi then takes us somewhere we absolutely weren't expecting, as an innocent-looking hobby turns out to have links to rebellion, survival and even wartime espionage. Never underestimate someone quietly sitting in the corner with a ball of wool.Vicky also gets hands-on with an unusual new toy, Lady Lobotomy tackles a listener's very personal attraction and the worries that come with it, and our Fetish Factoid takes us to Japan for a drinking tradition that gives a whole new meaning to having a well-rounded glass.Get in touch, we'd love to hear from you!▶︎ Support us on Patreon for bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/ThePaddedCellPodcast▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.co.uk▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.store Watch  the podcast on YouTube:▶︎ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ThePaddedCellPodcastFollow The Padded Cell for more:▶︎ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551425184285▶︎ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thepaddedcell_podcast/?hl=en-gb▶︎ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thepaddedcellpodcastRecorded and Produced by Vicky at The Padded Cell StudiosEp 1 - 120 recorded at: ▶︎ Web - http://www.liverpoolpodcaststudios.com

Three years. 150 episodes. And what better way to celebrate than by bringing back a bit of live Padded Cell chaos?I am joined by Kev for a very special birthday episode and Kev’s first ever live show, as we look back at how far the podcast has come, the people who’ve been part of the journey, the things that have changed along the way and what’s coming next.But this is still The Padded Cell, so reminiscing soon gives way to a spectacular collection of historical stupidity, scandal, queer history, fetish culture and conversations that go wildly off course.We’ve got a Victorian making history for entirely the wrong reason, one of British television’s most infamous scandals, a gloriously outrageous group who turned protest into performance, a controversial Fetish Factoid, the return of the Patreon T-shirt competition and somehow we end up having a lengthy conversation about what people smell like.Cheers to three years, Deviants. Here’s to the next 150!Vic and Kev xxxGet in touch, we'd love to hear from you!▶︎ Support us on Patreon for bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/ThePaddedCellPodcast▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.co.uk▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.store Watch  the podcast on YouTube:▶︎ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ThePaddedCellPodcastFollow The Padded Cell for more:▶︎ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551425184285▶︎ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thepaddedcell_podcast/?hl=en-gb▶︎ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thepaddedcellpodcastRecorded and Produced by Vicky at The Padded Cell StudiosEp 1 - 120 recorded at: ▶︎ Web - http://www.liverpoolpodcaststudios.com

One more episode until 150 and our third anniversary... and Jim's back in the Cell with me for an episode containing naked men, lethal architecture, old flames, swingers and an absolutely unreasonable number of cunts.We meet a Times Square performance artist armed with little more than body paint and a rubber chicken, celebrate Skyscraper Day by discovering that some buildings can practically cook you, and head to northern Vietnam for the extraordinary Khâu Vai Love Market.Lady Lobotomy then tackles a single woman's first invitation to a private swinging house party and there are some VERY important differences between walking into someone's home and walking into an established club.Then I investigate the history of one of my favourite words.Cunt.Where did it come from? Why did it become offensive? What the hell was Gropecunt Lane? And why can we call our mates cunts while an American may look at us as though we've just punched their grandmother?Episode 149 is waiting for you now, Deviants.Put the kettle on.Get in touch, we'd love to hear from you!▶︎ Support us on Patreon for bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/ThePaddedCellPodcast▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.co.uk▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.store Watch  the podcast on YouTube:▶︎ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ThePaddedCellPodcastFollow The Padded Cell for more:▶︎ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551425184285▶︎ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thepaddedcell_podcast/?hl=en-gb▶︎ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thepaddedcellpodcastRecorded and Produced by Vicky at The Padded Cell StudiosEp 1 - 120 recorded at: ▶︎ Web - http://www.liverpoolpodcaststudios.com

This week, I am joined by Jim, as we disappear down several completely unrelated rabbit holes and somehow manage to make them feel even less related by the end!! lol  An innocent childhood game turns out to have a surprisingly strange history, the world of record breaking produces some extraordinary human beings, and an archaeological discovery takes us back thousands of years to a culture doing something with their dead long before the ancient Egyptians got in on the act.Plus, a name from history gives us considerably more entertainment than it probably should (we're obviously age 11 at heart), and Lady Lobotomy returns with a relationship dilemma involving kink, boundaries and what happens when one person's fantasy is the other person's hard limit.It shouldn't all fit into one episode, but It does! lol Enjoy! Vic and Jim xxGet in touch, we'd love to hear from you!▶︎ Support us on Patreon for bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/ThePaddedCellPodcast▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.co.uk▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.store Watch  the podcast on YouTube:▶︎ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ThePaddedCellPodcastFollow The Padded Cell for more:▶︎ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551425184285▶︎ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thepaddedcell_podcast/?hl=en-gb▶︎ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thepaddedcellpodcastRecorded and Produced by Vicky at The Padded Cell StudiosEp 1 - 120 recorded at: ▶︎ Web - http://www.liverpoolpodcaststudios.com

Vicky Meets The Kinky BrosThis week, I sit down with brothers Gryff and Jason — aka The Kinky Bros — for a conversation about kink, family, finding yourself later in life and what happens when two brothers suddenly discover they have a LOT more in common than either of them realised.With one gay brother, one straight brother and two very different routes into the kink world, their relationship has opened the door to conversations most siblings probably never imagine having.They talk about discovering each other's kinky side, finding the confidence to explore later in life, the freedom that seems to arrive with middle age, their brilliant brotherly dynamic and why they decided to start sharing those conversations publicly through their own podcast.It's funny, refreshingly open and surprisingly 'straight'! Meet The Kinky Bros. You're going to love them.Enjoy! Vic xxxWhere to find The Kinky Bros Podcast Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/13IeA5UU0vUFzvnP45GUY6?si=0e4cbf98b7494ad1Apple podcasts -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kinky-bros-podcast/id1893080144Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kinkybrospodcast/X - KinkyBrosPodcast (@KinkyBrosPod)Bluesky - The Kinky Bros Podcast (@kinkybrospodcast.bsky.social)Get in touch, we'd love to hear from you!▶︎ Support us on Patreon for bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/ThePaddedCellPodcast▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.co.uk▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.store Watch  the podcast on YouTube:▶︎ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ThePaddedCellPodcastFollow The Padded Cell for more:▶︎ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551425184285▶︎ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thepaddedcell_podcast/?hl=en-gb▶︎ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thepaddedcellpodcastRecorded and Produced by Vicky at The Padded Cell StudiosEp 1 - 120 recorded at: ▶︎ Web - http://www.liverpoolpodcaststudios.com

Why would someone deliberately choose fear, pain, vulnerability or intense sensations? Where does consent fit when you're deliberately pushing your own boundaries?

This week's episode takes us from the natural world to wartime tragedy before finishing with an in-depth look at one of the most misunderstood areas of BDSM.We begin with the remarkable true story of an animal declared extinct... only to disappear all over again. Then we tell the devastating story of the USS Indianapolis, the sinking that left hundreds of sailors stranded in shark-infested waters and became one of the darkest chapters of the Second World War.Our main feature explores BDSM pet play in depth. We look at the psychology behind it, why people are drawn to it, the different types of pets and handlers, how scenes work, common misconceptions, and why for many people it has very little to do with sex at all.As always, expect plenty of laughs, plenty of tangents, and a healthy dose of weird along the way.Chapter list:00:00 The Animal That Went Extinct Twice08:25 The Secret Mission and the sharks25:35 Listener Question: Understanding BDSM Pet PlayA listener's question about their adult child opens a discussion on what pet play really is and why it's so widely misunderstood.27:00 What Is Pet Play?An introduction to the dynamic, common misconceptions and why it isn't necessarily about sex.31:10 Why People Enjoy Pet PlayExploring headspace, stress relief, identity, escapism and emotional wellbeing.36:30 Different Types of Pets and HandlersPups, kittens, ponies, foxes, wolves, handlers and how different dynamics develop.42:45 Gear, Accessories and Getting StartedMasks, tails, collars, paws, toys, safety and beginner-friendly ways to explore.47:00 Events, Community and CompetitionsHow pet play events work, what to expect, etiquette, Pup Pride and the welcoming community behind the scene.53:50 Final Thoughts on Pet Play and Fetish FactoidGet in touch, we'd love to hear from you!▶︎ Support us on Patreon for bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/ThePaddedCellPodcast▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.co.uk▶︎ www.thepaddedcellpodcast.store Watch  the podcast on YouTube:▶︎ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ThePaddedCellPodcastFollow The Padded Cell for more:▶︎ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551425184285▶︎ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thepaddedcell_podcast/?hl=en-gb▶︎ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thepaddedcellpodcastRecorded and Produced by Vicky at The Padded Cell StudiosEp 1 - 120 recorded at: ▶︎ Web - http://www.liverpoolpodcaststudios.com
