Midnight Sex Talk – Addiction

Midnight Sex Talk – Addiction

Everyone’s an addict now, apparently. This week’s Midnight Sex Talk looks at sex addiction (does it really exist?) and also what addiction can do to a relationship. If you’re with someone who’s an addict, (and that could be drink, drugs, gambling etc, or, of course, sex), there are three (or more) of you in that relationship, whether you like it or not. Love itself is an addiction, and can mimic a lot of the same behaviours. Either way, you end up doing things you’d never imagine.

Suzanne Noble who, among other things, makes the excellent Modern Loving series of sex guides, joins us to help unravel it all.

Midnight Sex Talk is broadcast on alternate Sunday nights, from 11.30pm-12.30am, on Resonance 104.4 FM. More info about us at

Hooting Yard: Bird-recognition skills

O what can ail thee, horoscope reader, alone and palely loitering? Make sure you treat yourself to an electric bath and a session in a sensory deprivation tank. The Bale of Gas in your House of Stupidity has incalculable effects. You will stand on the steps of the Insane Asylum, and hundreds of men and women will stand below you, with their upturned faces. Among them will be old men crushed by sorrow, and old men ruined by vice; aged women with faces that seemed to plead for pity, women that make you shrink from their unwomanly gaze; lion-like young men, made for heroes but caught in the devil’s trap and changed into beasts; and boys whose looks show that sin has already stamped them with its foul insignia, and burned into their souls the shame which is to be one of the elements of its eternal punishment.

A less impressible person than you would feel moved at the sight of that throng of bruised and broken creatures. A hymn will be read, and when the preachers strike up an old tune, voice after voice will join in the melody until it swells into a mighty volume of sacred song. You will notice that the faces of many are wet with tears, and there will be an indescribable pathos in their voices. The pitying God, amid the rapturous hallelujahs of the heavenly hosts, shall bend to listen to the music of these broken harps.

Hooting Yard: What you should know about the Carpenters

Karen played the drums and sang. Her brother Richard played keyboards and supplied backing vocals. Unfortunately, Karen died young. Richard is still alive, still active in music, but The Carpenters as a duo are no longer with us.

These bare facts stated, astute readers will note the remarkable similarities between The Carpenters and the homonymic The Carpenters who were so successful during the 1970s with songs such as Close To You and Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft. Neither of these songs was recorded by The Carpenters of whom we speak, for their music was somewhat different, an outré blend of salsa, bluegrass, acid jazz, bell-ringing and caterwauling, often driven by motorised electric balalaikas programmed by Karen. Richard was known to be fond of factory hooters.

Midnight Sex Talk: Infidelity

Midnight Sex Talk – Infidelity

We really should have done this show as an all-night charity marathon, there’s so much to talk about. It would be like They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? but no-one would get tired. As usual, however, Midnight Sex Talk will be giving you the essence of the subject in just 60 high-quality minutes.

Have you played away? Have you discovered your other half at it? How did you find out? Was it tell-tale bruises, stubble burn or a simple stray email? Do you think infidelity is even an issue? Is monogamy a pointless social construct that puts needless pressure on people? Or is it a valuable rule to arrange your life around?

Helping things along in the studio is journalist Piers Hernu, who can be spotted doing all kinds of loveable rogue-type things around the darker parts of the global village. We’ve also got an interview with Stephen Green of Christian Voice. Enough said!

Midnight Sex Talk is broadcast on alternate Sunday nights, from 11.30pm-12.30am, on Resonance 104.4 FM. More info about us at

Midnight Sex Talk – Internet Censorship

Midnight Sex Talk – Internet Censorship

This week we’re looking at the Scottish Executive’s consultation paper on the possession of what they call ‘extreme pornographic images’.

If what they’re suggesting becomes law, it could set us back decades in terms of free speech, as well as cause endless misery to those who are exploring their sexuality, not to mention artists.

Our guests this week are lobbyist Demolition Red from Backlash, and campaigner/adventurer UKRudeGirl”.
