Livestream Host Swap: The History Of Pornography
Episode 369
Thursday, 9 April, 2026

Cave art, ancient smut, scandalous engravings, and the long, slow march toward moving pictures. In this host swap episode, Duncan takes the reins and walks Shane through the early history of pornography, stopping right as things are about to start… moving. Along the way, they hit ancient civilizations, moral crackdowns, and the surprisingly classy origins of something that absolutely refused to stay classy. It’s a story about art, censorship, and humanity’s earliest attempts to say, “what if we drew that… but naked.”~ Become an Insomniac!
