“My Dad Wrote a Porno” shuts shop
The popular British podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno is about to come to an end, marking the end of one of the most popular, innovative, and hilariously X-rated podcasts ever.
The Beginning of My Dad Wrote a Porno
My Dad Wrote a Porno was first published in 2015 by Jamie Morton, Alice Levine, and James Cooper. It all started when Morton learned that his retired father, Rocky Flintstone, had been secretly penning a series of adult novels called Belinda Blinked that followed the sex adventures of a 30-year-old woman named Belinda Blumenthal. He was horrified by what he discovered, which detailed sex-filled business trips abroad, passionate trysts in motels, and wild orgies at company meetings.
Many viewers of the British comedy podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno thought co-host Jamie Morton accidentally came across his father’s sexual book but Morton confessed that it was not an accident and even called his father’s book worse than he could have imagined.
Rather than starting a podcast, Morton’s first reaction to the book was to burn it down in order to destroy all evidence. Morton acted as though it didn’t exist for a while. Nevertheless, he stated that after picking up the novel out of curiosity, he discovered that it was the greatest inadvertently funny novel ever written.
To share the book with his buddies, he brought it to the bar. Cooper and Levine quickly developed an obsession with his father’s work, and the group decided to post it online.
He disclosed that they read two lines in nearly three hours because they kept giggling and interjecting. Levine claimed that after discussing the book with others, they realised they weren’t the only ones who liked it. The co-hosts continue to record each episode in one of their London kitchens, despite their immense popularity around the world.
More than 200 million people have downloaded “My Dad Wrote a Porno” since the popular podcast premiered in late 2015.
Success of My Dad Wrote a Porno
My Dad Wrote a Porno has received more than 430 million downloads worldwide, been the subject of two sold-out world tours, been turned into an HBO comedy special, and accumulated a large following of famous people, many of whom have participated. Highlights from the A-list include Michael Sheen comparing Fred Flintstone to William Shakespeare, Emma Thompson defending Rocky’s feminist credentials, and Lin-Manuel Miranda working on a Belinda Blinked musical. In addition to its own popularity, the podcast is regarded as groundbreaking that introduced many listeners to the format.
The Podcast To Come To An End
On the decision to terminate the podcast, Morton, Levine, and Cooper stated that it had been the center of their lives for the last eight years. They experienced breakups, breakdowns, new jobs, new residences, and a boatload of Chilean Chardonnay. But no matter what else was going on, the three of them reading novels together at the kitchen table had been a constant and a surefire source of laughter.
People Loved The Podcast
The co-hosts, who have been dubbed “Harry, Ron, and Hermione of pornography,” heard their fans yelling iconic phrases from the book on the city’s streets.
Morton added that listeners also appreciated a remark characterizing a character’s nipples as being as huge as the three-inch rivets that held the entire tragic Titanic together. Other listeners’ favorite quotes included her breasts hung freely, like pomegranates, and the flesh of mankind to describe male genitalia.
Some listeners have admitted that they were concerned about sex before listening to the podcast, according to Levine. They later understood that sex can be enjoyable and not too serious.
In the book, Belinda travels the globe to sleep with as many people as she can in order to close commercial transactions, according to Morton.
The nice thing about Belinda, he continued, is that she always has the upper hand in any sexual situation. In fact, he claimed that at this point, Belinda had evolved into a feminist icon. For this reason, she was well liked.
Regardless of Rocky Flintstone’s intentions, Levine claimed that the book is set in a sexual utopia in which women are empowered via sex.
People simply have sex with those they want to have sex with; there isn’t much talk regarding people’s sexual orientation, according to her.
On Nov. 28 and Dec. 5, the final two chapters of My Dad Wrote a Porno will be aired, and on Dec. 12, a special episode with an exclusive conversation with Rocky Flintstone will be released.
