What Makes the Magic Wand So Magic?

Here's the first episode of Kate's podcast miniseries on the Magic Wand, Making Magic!

The Magic Wand is a cult-favorite sex toy, beloved by vibrator connoisseurs around the world – but is it worthy of the hype? In this episode, we seek to answer that question, by examining the Wand’s reputation, first-time users’ reactions when they try it, and how it can help us close the orgasm gap.

Guests this episode:

  • Good Vibrations staff sexologist & Antique Vibrator Museum curator Dr. Carol Queen (she/they)
  • Sex toy historian & author Hallie Lieberman (she/her)
  • Sex educator & host/creator of the Sex Ed With DB podcast Danielle Bezalel (she/her)
  • Software designer & developer (& Kate’s spouse) mb bischoff (they/them)
  • Author, sex therapist, & psychology professor Dr. Laurie Mintz (she/her)

Making Magic is hosted and created by Kate Sloan, edited and co-produced by Jamie Pityinger, and made possible by the generous support of Vibratex. Our podcast art is by Addison Finch.
