The Pornhub Podcast With Asa Akira
In January 2018, porn star Asa Akira was named
brand ambassador for Pornhub, and her official
duties include hosting a porn podcast. According to
Pornhub’s description of the podcast, “Join author,
poet, and recipient of two penises in her butt (at the
same time) Asa Akira, as she is joined by her other
porno and non-porno friends. They discuss all things
pop culture, sex and feelings.”
Referring to herself as an “award-winning asshole,”
the sexy, self-deprecating and honest Asa comfortably
chats with fellow porn star friends such as Stormy
Daniels, Dana DeArmond and Joanna Angel. On an
episode with DeArmond, the two candidly chat about the
dreaded “BV” (bacterial vaginosis) and how they both
encountered performers with stinky poon they had to
work with. Listening to this podcast will make you feel like
a fly on the wall when Asa’s girlfriends come to visit for
some really personal girl talk.
In another episode, Akira devotes a whole hour to
interviewing her boyfriend Sean, which she says “could
be either the worst idea ever or the best.” The episode
helped answer questions most people want to know
about dating a porn star, such as “Is the relationship
monogamous? (In her case, right now for the first time
ever, yes), and “How many times does she have sex
with her boyfriend?” (They say 30-40 times a week!) The
episode turned out to be the best idea ever.
The boyfriend episode even addressed her own fears
(“Can I be monogamous with him forever?”) and his.
When he became her boyfriend again as adults, after
breaking her heart when she was 14 and he was 16, his
fear, hilariously, was “After all that time being a porn star
was her vagina all torn up?” Turns out, he reports, that
she is still miraculously “tight.” (Guys always have this
idea that putting a bunch of dicks into a vagina is going
to stretch it all out, but if you can push a baby the size of a
basketball through it, a few monster schlongs is nothing.)
“Asa is funny and smart,” says director Axel Braun.
“And I also like that she is unapologetic.”

Holly Randall Unfiltered
Photographer and director Holly Randall started her
podcast because she “wanted to give adult performers
a voice, and to show the world what porn is REALLY like
H O L L Y R A N D A L L
behind the scenes,” she says. “So many people have
the most outrageous misconceptions about the adult
industry, and I really wanted to dispel those myths.”
Her very first episode—with her wonderfully non-
conformist, industry veteran, beatnik-hippie parents—
is epic. Her mother is Suze Randall, one of the most
accomplished and famous erotic photographers from
the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s.
Her British mum, now 72, traces her interesting
career from her fashion photography days, when male
superiors called the shots, to the early topless photos
she took on the side, which eventually led to her doing
her own thing selling massive amounts of sexy titty pics
to the U.K. Sun’s “Page 3” topless photo section.
That led to more sexually explicit photos for Larry Flynt
at Hustler (“I liked Larry Flynt because he never gave a
shit about what other people thought of him,” Suze says),
to more work at Penthouse, and pictorial and centerfolds
at Playboy. “We were making $8,000 a week with all the
pictures,” says Holly’s 77-year-old South African dad,
Humphry Knipe, who couldn’t believe it at the time. “And
