So episodes one through three dropped last Tuesday; episode four drops tomorrow. But there are 11 episodes, including a bonus episode, in this podcast. So 12 episodes total! Traci might feel we—or at least the adult industry—is being tough on her in the early episodes. All I can say is, hang in there. Patience will be rewarded. This is a long and complicated story with many twists. Michelson, Noah (November 19, 2012). "Traci Lords Discusses 'M2F2' Album, Her Porn Past, Sex Advice For Her Son And More". The Huffington Post .

Traci Lords sexy picturesConfession: I have my own porn past. I’m teasing, but I’m a little serious. I broke into print by writing about Al Goldstein, founder of Screw magazine and a major figure in the adult industry in the ’70s and ’80s. (This is obviously way before I was a contributing editor at Vanity Fair.) One afternoon in 2012, I went to lunch in the Valley at a Hamburger Hamlet with adult veteran Bill Margold, who’d codirected Traci, and adult agent Jim South, who’d represented Traci. Traci, and what happened 25 years ago, was the topic of conversation between these two. Not for part of the lunch, for the whole lunch. The way they told the story was as a noir, with Traci as the ne plus ultra of femmes fatales: She’d scammed the adult industry with a fake ID; had made one movie after the age of 18, a movie she owned the rights to; and then she’d blown the whistle on herself to make more money and become more famous. And the anger of both these men was still, all these years later, hot to the touch. I wanted to find out why. Why was Traci Lords the wound that refused to heal for the adult industry? And who was this Traci Lords anyway, this teenager who’d single-handedly almost taken out an entire industry of hardened professionals? a b c Krajicek, David (May 26, 2005). "Traci Lords".

Yes, some attitudes have changed so that seemingly every instance of nudity is a sex crime… Hefner emerged from the scandal looking like the Not-So-Bad guy. He certainly said all the correct things about respecting a woman's sovereignty over her body and image, her right to say no.

Out-Hefnering Hefner had, after all, been his goal from the start. When he brought Penthouse from England to America in 1969, he placed an ad in the New York Times depicting the Playboy logo, the bunny, in the crosshairs of a gun, the caption reading, "We’re going rabbit hunting." And Guccione shot to kill. To wit: the Pubic Wars (an actual coined phrase, appearing in such august publications as the Wall Street Journal), which he won by showing short-and-curlies in the February 1970 Penthouse, a full eleven months before Playboy. So Traci seems to be subtweeting you and the show and “the haters out there.” How does it feel to be noticed in that way? Do you have any sense of how she feels about the show?
