    Narrator is distracting
    Overall the podcast is fine. The narrator is distracting—voice intonations, “jokes” that aren’t funny and slang that sounds dated and Valley-girl.

    Cool
    Good podcast, the narrator tries to talk like one of the guys, which is annoying, but she gets the story! Its like the narrator is trying to be a comedian, and there is no one to laugh. Worth the listen tho
  • Granitemapleoak
    Fascinating
    Fascinating in so many ways. Not only the discussion of sexual proclivities and issues of consent and gender disparities, but also the sheer entrepreneurial aspect of the inspiration for and creation of the club. Well presented and easy to listen to. An excellent podcast.

    Very Intriguing and Wild Ride
    I started listening to this podcast on a whim and I just finished it in about two days. It was super easy to listen to while I was just around my house and it’s also mind blowing to think someone was so successful with this type of venture. The interviews with all the real life people involved make it a really great story. Amazing journalism and the host is cheeky. Very lol. Give the first episode a go and I’m sure you’ll be hooked.

    Definitely recommend!
    Really great story telling. Damon’s life and the creation of SNCTM is a wild ride, but this podcast also gives a captivating voice to the other people who were there and watched it all unfold. So sad it’s over, I want more!

    Great
    Really, really good podcast!
  • Iñigo_Montoya
    Entertaining, worth listening
    Good podcast, interesting story with colorful characters, the commentary and attempts at humor were too polished/rehearsed for me but everyone else seems to like it. If you’re looking for a change of pace from the usual (e.g. sports, music, comedians, NPR, etc.) I’d recommend this podcast.
  • Half listener, nothing heavy
    Great series.. interesting and fair. Appreciated the host’s humor too..
    …but I never want to hear Damon’s voice again. His voice and his words scream narcissistic douche bag.

    My favorite podcast!
    This podcast is excellent! I can’t wait until Thursday so I can listen to the next episode. Karley Sciortino has does an exceptional job as the host. Her narration is captivating, sometimes shocking, and also humorous at just the right moments. Karley’s interviews with the central characters are so honest and real, I ended up rooting for them in a way I didn’t expect to. 5 stars!!
  • Rybel22
    All in!
    Crazy story and the host seems to be enjoying it too. Keep checking to see if the new episode is downloaded. I’m along for the ride.

    Fidelio
    A tantalizing look behind the scenes of the famous Sanctum “sex club” of the Teens. I remember hearing about but did know the full extent of the debauchery that went on. The host has an Ayesha Taylor vibe and has a background in the scene if you will. Interlaced with interviews from the main players that really make you feel like you are there. I’m surprised there hasn’t at least been a Netflix movie made about this starring Taron Edgerton. It’s fascinating how Sanctum was born out of Facebook. You must listen to how the first night was so special, it’s when they knew they had lightning in a bottle. It gave me chills. It’s possible this phenomenon wouldn’t have happened without the Eyes Wide Shut movie playing in all those freaks minds.

  • mimihoff
    Great Podcaster AND Story
    One of THE best podcasters I have listened to. She connects with the audience and turns the podcast into an inside joke with perfect deceivers of the fascinating and well researched story.
  • kpkailey
    Yes
    A refreshing break from true crime pods. Well done and so bingeable. I loved the clips I saw years ago on my feed from Slutever, I cannot believe it has taken so long for me to find my way back to Karley. I love how she tells stories and am so glad to have found this pod!
  • RLSSTFU
    Fave new podcast
    Really enjoying this podcast and look forward to each new episode Besides the fascinating and problematic subject matter, Karley is an amazing host/narrator. Her non plussed tone and delivery is the perfect foil for the wildness that is Damon and the story. Hope she does many many more podcasts and covers other fascinating stories! Thank you for this offering! 5 stars

  • Lizzi S-M
    Sex, lols, and blood oaths
    Karley is the perfect host for this smart story about an elite sex party, which delves into the complexities of non-monogamy and experimentation, as well as the pitfalls of success and excess.
  • SlutDemon69
    A maje slutty adventure!
    Obsessed with this podcast and Karley Sciortino of Slutever fame obv! This is a deep dive into a unique world that only Karley has access to and told in her lolzy voice. What else is there to want?! Highly recommend!
  • theonceovertwice
    Funny, sexy, fascinating !
    Omg this show is so good!!! Unbelievable story, and the host’s narration is simultaneously cheeky, sincere and informative! The blood oath ceremony made me CRACK UP. Like I actually laugh out loud a lot! I particularly love that they interviewed a lot of people so you can really hear about the club from all these different perspectives and experiences. And the nuanced discussion of sexual topics and taboos in between the story is so fascinating, and something our culture doesn’t address nearly enough! Fully recommend listening!
  • MadMelvina
    Fascinating story, well told
    Interviews with all key players and others involved, unexpected, really interesting viewpoint and sympathetic to the “anti-hero”. You’ll get great descriptions of these events, and insight from people behind the scenes
  • Caccarile
    Best Podcast Ever!
    I already loved Karley Sciortino from when she hosted Sutever! But she has really outdone herself with this podcast! I get goosebumps each week I listen! Great job Karley!
  • Krlays21
    A sexy Hollywood rise and fall story
    I came to the pod because I was curious about the topic of sex parties but I didn’t expect to feel so invested in the characters. Great storytelling… and funny!
  • nohograndma1943
    Fascinating listen!
    This story keeps me on the edge of my seat. And Karley the host strikes the perfect balance of smarts and smirks as our guide. Cannot wait for the next episode. Perfect listen for any true crime lover or literally any person with a brain.
  • nazzie k
