Savage Love Podcast/ Other Recommendations

Many of you have been getting the "Dan Savage education" for years via Savage Love, but has anyone checked out his podcast? It was started a little over a year ago, and what happens is that listeners call in, record messages (and, if they so choose, leave their phone numbers in case Dan wants to call them back), and then Dan addresses the issues in a weekly podcast.

It's even more entertaining to hear him in person, and his blunt approach translates really well over the podcast: in short, it's hilarious! And I learn something new everytime I listen.

Some of the issues I've heard about recently on the podcast include:
-What causes "morning wood"
-How to accomodate the prep and mess in a case of the ever-famed "pie throwing fetish"
-When it might be appropriate for an HIV-pos individual to tell partners he's met online about his status
-How to tip/treat a sex worker
-How one caller could rekindle a very important anal kink in his life, which was marred when he elected to have sex with a man (although he's straight), so he could experience "real" penile penetration, and not one from toys
-How to tell a someone they're a bad kisser (by using "I" statements, apparently...)
-How to rid oneself of "ass hair"

Seriously, it's great. I know you all think I'm a podcast nut, but I'm still new to it. Some of the other big sex-related podcasts that might interest you (although I have not listened to all of these):

Sex is Fun
RopeCast
Polyamory Weekly
Swingercast

I have not yet looked into specifically GLBT podcasts much yet, but I did hear a clip from Feast of Fools on which Erin Davies was featured, and it was humorous and interesting.
