Join CRUDE where we mercilessly deconstruct love, s3x, bodies, and relationships using our own experiences and the thoughts of others. Slutty academics Frank and Misty are joined in Berlin by Elle, an activist, and avid partygoer Effie based in London.

We’ll delve into topics intrinsic to modern relationships, sexual self-awareness, and the world of kink in liberal cities in the 21st century. The hosts are currently active and immersed in sex-positive scenes across Europe, meaning they date and meet a range of fizzing and wonderful people. The increasing influence of kink on mainstream attitudes towards sex and relationships means CRUDE's exploration provides listeners with an essential and entertaining examination of their own desires, passions, and the situationships that ensue.
