Spanko! Podcast

Fan-girling hardcore over having had the opportunity to interview the one and only Erica Scott. You may know her for her role in many spanking videos including The Reckoning and The Schoolmaster's Revenge. But we were excited to have her for her wit and her Correspondence Hall Of Shame blog.  You thought we were sassy, imagine having the level of sass Erica possesses!!!  We can only dream.  While some women decide to Switch as they grow older, some of us choose to hold on to our Spankee/Bottom identities as we age. That may make us feel shunned at times, but never fear – there's always someone respectful and skilled out there who'd still be excited to play with us… and if you doubt that, just ask BigGirlSpanker. 😉 Erica shares some wisdom of coming of age in the scene with all the grace and wit you'd imagine. Besides all the fan-girling, we had so much to discuss with this living legend! This is only part one of our discussion. Stay tuned for more from Erica Scott!

We were asked if we could talk about the physics of spanking. Well, who better to consult than an actual physicist who is ALSO an actual spanko? Our friend, Al Doyle, sat down with us at GASP 2025 to give us a lesson in the physics of spanking. We even sat down to work out the math to see if we could finally get an answer to the age-old question: does a paddle with holes hurt more than a paddle without holes? From Newton's apple, to Einstein's theories, to the earth falling upwards, "Professor" Doyle blows our minds with science while answering some pre-arranged questions, all while on the journey to the ultimate answer about the pain of the paddles. We even discuss a few topics that may require further experimentation. But all the while, we laugh and have fun like always.  We discuss basic physics concepts, a couple of formulas, and even how much you weigh jumping off a building to get us to the mathematical conclusion of… well, you'll just have to listen to find out!  This might be our most technical episode yet! You may want to take notes. There may be a test!

The Executive Committee from Burning River SSC, our local spanking group, is back! This time we're talking about what goes into building a successful spanking community. Having been around for multiple years, Burning River has some good tips on starting from the ground up. We talk about munches, gathering your community, building rapport and education, planning simple house parties, and even renting spaces for a larger regional party. We also discuss the importance of vetting at parties, education about spanking, inclusivity, and much more.  You may feel you have nothing in your local area, but by reaching out, you just may be surprised how many spankos you can find! If you are near the Cleveland, Ohio area and want to check out a smaller party and dip your toes into the spanking scene this is a great group to check out.

Frenzy: a state or period of uncontrolled excitement or wild behavior.   Some of us have had an insatiable need to be spanked or spank all the spankees we meet. It can feel like a lot of fun! All that new energy and excitement, wanting to try all the things! It's fairly common when things are new: new experiences, new parties, new partners, etc.  And we're not just talking about discipline spankings here, even though in our experience, that's the kind of spankings some of us fantasize the most about. We are talking about all the spankings!  This spanking frenzy can be fun, but it can also have a dark side. We've done some less-than-smart things to satisfy our cravings. Feeling like we need to have it, and we need to have it now! But from the outside, this frenzy can look a little different. And sometimes can even harm existing relationships. Have you ever experienced frenzy? What have you done for spanking?  Were you keeping yourself safe?  We have some tips on how to navigate frenzy, how to keep yourself safe, and how to watch out for some of the traps you may find along your journey. It's all about finding balance, after all.  Remember, you're a whole human being and not just a spanker or a spankee.

At long last, get to know Burning River SSC, our local spanking group! We've been talking about them for years, and we finally got to sit down with them and our microphones and chat. Join us as we talk with our friends from the board of Burning River SSC (including our very own Karina Isabel).  We talk about the importance of vetting at parties, education about spanking, inclusivity, munches, and much more.  If you are near the Cleveland, Ohio area and want to check out a smaller party and dip your toes into the spanking scene this is a great group to check out.  

What is vetting? If you've been to a spanking party before, you've probably heard this term, and have probably even been vetted: it's the background check done to keep everyone at the party as safe as possible. But it's not just for parties, this is good for one-on-one play as well.  How is vetting done? What should you expect? Well, there's many ways to vet someone. But we discuss a few tips that we've used, have seen used, and have been involved with in the past, for both Tops and Bottoms alike. So, if you're interested in attending a spanking event, or even hosting a spanking event, or even want to keep yourself safe in one-on-one play (and who doesn't?), and want to learn more about the vetting process, we hope this episode will give you some good tips to get started.  

At a private school, contraband is discovered. The usual suspects are gathered and interrogated. Will they confess? Will they throw each other under the bus? And what consequences will they face? Join us for another radio play, adapted by Lizzy, based on The Mysteries of Verbena House, a Victorian spanking novel in two parts by Etonensis. This book has some interesting history itself, including a connection to another famous holiday season author.  If you enjoy this type of programming, let us know, and perhaps we can include more in the future. Happy Holidays!!

Trigger Warnings: Trauma, War, PTSD, Childhood Abuse.  PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - a condition brought about by trauma and diagnosed by a professional. Please reach out to a professional to be treated and diagnosed.  We have the brave Mark, the Very Bad Boy, and a military veteran, joining us to share his experiences as a spanking male bottom with PTSD. Mark shares how he worked with professionals to be diagnosed and begin his well-being process.  Triggered by loud noises, Mark still enjoys his spanking, but it has been a challenge to work through. Mark shares his journey, how he handles his triggers and how he worked with a professional spanking domme to gently overcome his fears from childhood. Fortunately for veterans in the U.S., the V.A. offers quality resources, you just have to be able to get through all the paperwork, and fortunately, they'll also have someone to assist you with that  as well!  Please be kind to those around you, we never know what someone is going through. Please be responsible and seek help. We all have our own timelines, but we are still responsible for how we allow triggers to affect us. We can't control who or what is going to trigger us, but we can choose how to respond. There are professionals who will work with you, either with your mental health or, potentially, even a professional spanker.  Thank you to all of our service members!!  

How do you get to experience Consensual Non-Consent? After years of communication <3 After reading the room. After working with your partner.  What is it? How is it done? What does this complicated term even mean? This is definitely a level 201 episode. We encourage you to listen to our listed episodes below if we're just starting in the scene.  Definitely listen to this episode as well. However, be aware that this kind of dynamic and relationship comes with time - we do not encourage you to practice consensual non-consent for your first scene no matter how much of a fantasy it may be.  Fantasies are very different from your very first scene. Maybe one in a million Spankos have had their fantasy fulfilled in their first scene. You may get the opportunity to practice CNC during organized role play at a party or perhaps even while in character with your partner. Please remember you can always advocate for yourself and use your safe word. Have some self respect and remember to enforce your boundaries. It's your body - your choice. It is a Privilege for those to those who gained access to your body. A privilege you can revoke at any time.  Go and have fun and enjoy all the spankings.    Consent, pt. 1 Consent, pt. 2 Limits Blanket Consent

What's scary on Halloween? Scarier than ghosts or monsters, even? It's the fear of missing out!!  We've all experienced it. Sometimes just in our spanking lives, sometimes in our vanilla lives, but the fear of missing out is real. No one likes to feel excluded. We are social creatures, after all. Though there are some of us who also thrive on the joy of missing out.  Join us as returning guest, JoJo Shenanigans, our kink-affirming therapist, gives some pointers on managing the horrors that come from missing out, managing your feelings, navigating jealousy, and finding ways to maybe be included more in the future.

How big is your blanket and how many people have access to that blanket? Do you share different blankets with different types of people? join us on this episode and find out what we mean by blanket consent.  generally people don't automatically obtain blanket consent, please be responsible when you play with others; practice self advocacy and learn to establish your boundaries, though this episode is not about that. We just want to remind you that it is your body and it is your choice.  There are fantasies and then there's reality. Sometimes it takes a lot of communication to be able to fulfill our fantasies; other times it may be instant chemistry, but please be advised:  You don't have blanket consent with everyone.  

Miss Chris is back to explain how she helps bring your spanking fantasies to life. But what if your fantasy involves more than one spanker? You're in luck! Miss Chris is not alone!  Miss Chris & Uncle Eric are traveling around the country making your co-topping fantasies into reality. We were lucky enough to catch up with them in the DC area for an evening on their journey. We get to know a bit about Uncle Eric, life-long spanko, BDSM practitioner, and video star. We learn about his connection with Miss Chris, some of their shared interests, their role play energy together, their thoughts on the state of the adult spanking industry, and even get to do a little role play with returning guest (and OnlyFans LIVE regular), Avery, who also joined us for this episode.  And we even get their thoughts on global warming… no, not like the environmental kind. But a playful, historical, and (as we later found out) very fun spanking activity!  After seeing the photo they provided for this episode, their recreation of the famous painting, American Gothic, the spanko version, who wouldn't want their "globes" warmed up by these two pros? So if you'd like to make your fantasies a reality, head over to MisssChris.com (the extra 's' is for 'spanking') and take advantage of this unique opportunity while it lasts!

She dreamed about spanking parties all her life, but it wasn't until a chance encounter with a certain podcast (who, us?)  that veteran and award-winning little (oops, spoilers!), Hilly, realized her dream could come true! Now this veteran of the leather community, pack member, and littles educator joins us to discuss the littles scene, how welcoming spankos are to littles, and even how to know if you may be a little yourself.  Wait, Leather AND Littles? Yes, it can be a thing. And Hilly exemplifies the combination and explains how it can work. And for those who may not be familiar with Leather OR Littles, Hilly explains both! If you don't understand littles, if you are curious about them, if you have a little in your life, or if you identify as one yourself, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

You may have heard Switches make the best Tops. So join us as Ella and NightOwll share their journey on why they chose to start Topping. Have you, as a Top, done your homework? Because these two new Tops know exactly what they want when they are on the receiving end, and therefore did their research to become the very best Top they could ever be.  Whether they were born to Top or whether they grew into their roles, matters little, because what really matters is the amazing Tops they are becoming.  Anything a guy does, a girl can do- while wearing heels AND even bleeding.  Now, do we have any male Bottoms out there who've grown to be a Top as well?  Perhaps you're like Karina and you've been happy remaining a Bottom. Do what works for you.  Don't forget - Tops need aftercare too. Check in with your Tops  and remind them how amazing they are! Tops, please be open to feedback - it's how we grow.  So, if you've ever wondered how some Tops get to spank everyone and people barely reluctantly agree to play with you, listen in and learn a thing or two, you might get to play more.

Have you ever wanted to do a school role play? Or have you done a school role play and loved it?   Join us as we talk with Miss Marissa, Jason, and Nicole as we discuss a detention role play at Lonestar.  What makes a school role play headspacey? Lines? Tone? Scolding? Do you prefer a serious role play or a more playful role play?  We discuss all of the things related to what we love about role play. What are some of the things you worry about or think about ahead of a new event? Listen as Nicole discusses advocating for herself based on concerns she had ahead of time and discusses  Besides for the fun of role play, we discuss what it takes to run a role play event well. We discuss safety, lessons learned, timing, and functionality of the event.  As an added bonus we get to talk about negotiating spanking in a vanilla relationship. At what point do we no longer consider a supporting partner no longer a vanilla?  Learn some aspects of advocating for yourself when it comes to headspace events such as a school role play, detention, principal's office, or even British discipline.

At GASP 2025 this year, we were given the opportunity to host, and record, a Tops Roundtable. Featuring our own BigGirlSpanker, returning Guest Mr. Ben, returning guest Miss Bernadette, and newcomer to the podcast but veteran to the community, CallMeMissMeg. We had some initial questions and allowed questions from the audience and the Tops to respond spontaneously. We had a great discussion on all things related to Topping, discussion on setting scenes, communication in scenes, handling disappointment, learning and expanding skills, and more. What you will hear has been minimally edited, to bring you as close as possible to the live recording at GASP. We hope you will enjoy the discussion. If you have additional questions you would like us to address in the future, please send us a message at https://www.spankopodcast.com/contact/ and will will try our best to answer you in a future episode.

Join us for a very special episode of Spanko! Podcast: For pride month this year, we wanted to gather with some friends and have a very important discussion about what it's like to be Trans in the Spanking Community.  Returning guest, Avery, hosts this episode, as we gather at GASP this year with a group of extraordinary and wonderful spankos to discuss their journeys of self-discovery, acceptance, and how their individual eggs cracked (the evolution of the self-exploration journey and rebirth as your true self).  We cover a wide range of topics such as gender identity affecting your chosen role as Top, Bottom, or Switch, and finding acceptance both with yourself and in the community. We also dive into some deep and personal territory and bring a lot of emotions and vulnerability forward. The journey is not always an easy one, but what we all experienced in creating this episode was love, support, and acceptance in ways that moved some of us to tears.  Whether you have trans friends, feel awkward about discussing trans issues, have questions about playing with a trans person, are on your own journey of self-discovery or acceptance, or if you have ever felt awkward about yourself in any capacity, please give this episode a listen.  We hope we've captured and shared with you the beauty and love in the room that we all felt while recording this very special episode.
