RERUN: The secret plan to outlaw porn in the US (is working) [Ad-free]
🕑 Added 2025-08-29 07:00:09 +0000 UTCThis is a rerun from February this year, when 17 states in the US had banned PornHub. The tally now stands at 21, and both Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court don't seem fussed to stop there.
Have a listen, especially if you haven't already, before we come back with new episodes next Wednesday, September 3.

As of this recording, 17 states don’t have access to PornHub. You might assume that’s because of very normal people like Speaker of the House Mike Johnson needing to monitor his son’s masturbation habits, but was it conservatives’ fault? Or… was it well-meaning liberals? Junlper joins us to discuss who is behind this new and extreme porn ban, and its implications beyond those states and across the country.
