The book reviewed this episode is Life, Leather and the Pursuit of Happiness: Life, History and Culture in the Leather/BDSM/Fetish Community by Steve Lenius. .51 Intro and Announcements: An FB like from Jeff! Also a super nice thing from a service oriented submissive who wishes there were more episodes of the show. I’m working on it and have no plans to go anywhere any time soon. A survey response from a very kind listener. The anonymous survey can be taken here. The show now has listeners in Iran and Kuwait. 5.12 My Submissive Life: The March 13, 2016 Ropecast episode where Gray discussed educational opportunities, as well as why having experience doesn’t make one impervious to mistakes is somewhere on iTunes and other places where podcasts are available. Apologies for not being able to link to it. See if there is a GRUE (Graydancer’s Rope Unconference Extravaganza) coming to a city near you here. The My Dad Wrote a Porno podcast has been keeping us entertained while unpacking. Find my review of ithere.

A collection of essays, reviews and articles by the author from Lavender magazine and other places, concerning Leather, BDSM and fetish culture. It’s an excellent resource for anyone curious about the history of the lifestyle and the way it’s evolving.
