BedPost Confessions

Health & Wellness Podcasts

Sex: (almost) everybody does it and (almost) nobody talks about it—except at BedPost Confessions, a live storytelling show based in Austin, Texas. Whether the featured performers are funny, informative, political, or completely personal, the anonymous confessions from the audience are the stars of every show. Selected from our live shows, each podcast features one storyteller bookended with anonymous confessions from the audience that are read (and often commented upon) during the evening. All BedPost Storytelling Productions are made accessible to deaf audience members by the fantastic interpreters from SOULumination. Though the interpreters are there to serve the deaf, they enthrall the entire audience with their beautiful expressions of American Sign Language. If you hear a roar of laughter and don't understand why the interpreter may have stolen the show for a minute. Because we lost our show home due COVID, our live shows have been canceled. Please stay in touch with us on Instagram and Facebook where we will continue to post anonymous confessions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I sat him in his chair, blindfolded him, and tied his arms behind his body. I set up my playlist, which obviously included Rihanna, John Legend, and even Smashing Pumpkins. I told him to wiggle his blindfold off and I preformed a strip tease that went to lap dance that led to passionate, animalistic sex. As we lay in bed, catching our breath, I tell him my confession. I just recorded the entire thing."
