Episode 14: Taboo: Fat, Fuck, Masturbation
Category: Arts
Duration: 01:15:00

Description: In this episode, we discuss what is taboo. Is it a word, a topic? Is it the same for everyone? We learn why we need to talk about things considered taboo, and when to actually write taboo words instead of referring to them. You’ll hear from our weekly classmate Inessa Freylekhman who’s mom tells her what not to say on a date. You’ll also hear from Nicki Post, who feels that abortion is more taboo in the United States than in Korea. We’ll take you into our community workshop where several new students write after given the prompt: Pussy. Also, Sallye Zilberstein and Mary Parker share stories about subjects that feel taboo to them. And in honor of International Masturbation Month, Allison reveals her masterbation story. Andrea offers insight into when it’s ok to use words like fuck and pussy in a story and when using taboo words is just distracting. Writing Class Radio is produced by Diego Saldana-Rojas, Andrea Askowitz, and Allison Langer with editorial help from Misha Mehrel and Sonesh Chainani. Theme music by Adriel Borshansky. Additional music by Ari Herstand, Alien Sex Queen, Taryn Southern and Misha Mehrel. Check out all our musicians on our website. Writing Class Radio is sponsored by and recorded at the University of Miami School of Communication. This episode is also sponsored by The New Tropic. Live Like You Live Here.
