“Ashley West and April Hall are putting into to place a historical account of the Golden Age of adult film. They have been at it for a while and I’ve been tuning in for over a decade. The subject matter might turn off many but Ashley and April give it the focus and attention it deserves outside of the popcorn treatment and stilted view often put up by the mainstream media. Make no mistake this is an adults only show but it’s not at all what I feel many may think reading the subtitles. This is a serious podcast for those looking to expand their understanding of a very misunderstood business - the good and the bad in a completely unvarnished manner. There is no denying the impact pornography has had on society and whatever your views are, positive or negative, it has shaped film and the arts forever in America and worldwide. For all the darkness many associate with the business it has produced some of the most compelling characters and stories of the 20th and 21st century which Ashely and April, to their credit, explore in great depth. At times dark and sad it can also be hilarious, genuinely uplifting and always honest. The vivid narration, in depth research and fascinating stories and people make this a must download for those interested in the human experience in a place most assiduously avoid. I cannot recommend highly enough this podcast for those who tangentially or deeply understand adult entertainment and entertainment in general. It’s eye opening, thought provoking and masterfully done.”

“Overall, this is excellent. The episodes are like audio documentaries. I first came across the Rialto Report website and podcast after I became curious about the Golden Age of adult film. This podcast captures an interesting period of US sociocultural, history and a taboo topic. My only...”Read full review »
