{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Queer and Kinky Couch","slug":"thequeerandkinkycouch","podcastDescription":"

The Queer & Kinky Couch is a bold, affirming podcast that blends therapy-informed insight with unfiltered conversation.

Hosted by Jerry St. Louis, CST, LICSW, and Jordan Costen, LICSW, each episode explores queer identity, kink, relationships, social media, cultural tension, and the ways shame shows up in our lives.

We challenge stigma, unpack pop culture, and create space for honest dialogue — without pathologizing pleasure.

Because healing can be smart, sexy, and a little scandalous.
