WHAT: Launching today from iHeartMedia's Outspoken Podcast Network is "Tell Me Something Messy," a new sex-positive comedy and educational podcast hosted by writer, actor and advocate Brandon Kyle Goodman (Big Mouth) (they/he). The Outspoken Podcast Network aims to amplify, elevate and reflect the diversity, richness and humanity of the voices throughout the LGBTQ+ community.
Each week, messy patrons are invited to let their freak flags fly as they share stories about queer love, the importance of preparation and clean up, or even the sexual escapades happening in Ding Dong, Texas (yes, that's the real name of a town). Brandon Kyle Goodman's messy guests and callers are invited to a safe space with no judgment to help listeners develop better sex lives.
Special guests include sex experts and celebrities including Taylor Tomlinson, drag star Katya Zamolodchikova, Lena Waithe and Dr. Emily Nagoski, to cover topics like ethical non-monogamy, kinks and more.
WHEN: "Tell Me Something Messy" premieres today, September 12, 2024, with new episodes weekly on Thursdays.
WHERE: "Tell Me Something Messy" is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and is available now on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.
WHO:Brandon Kyle Goodman (he/they) is a writer, actor, and sexual wellness advocate. He's best known for his work on Netflix's smash hit and Emmy nominated animated comedy series Big Mouth and its spin-off Human Resources; Amazon's Modern Love, Hulu's Plus One, and Netflix's Feel the Beat. Brandon has established himself as a leading voice for Black and Queer communities and continues to make a name for himself, using his candid and comedic approach to tackle the day's controversial, cultural, and political happenings. His Instagram videos addressing systemic racism and how to be effective allies were viral during the ongoing protests against police brutality and racial inequality in the US. Brandon continues to use his platform to encourage openness with his Instagram series; Every Monday, Brandon asks their 175,000 Instagram followers to tell them something good or messy. People who tune into the Instagram Stories series, called "Messy Mondays" send in submissions that are indeed good, messy or both.
Goodman shares an inspiring and uplifting message of self-love and acceptance with his first book, "You Gotta Be You" released in 2022. Written in the same refreshingly honest voice as his viral Instagram posts, he explores the intersection of race, sexuality and gender, and the lessons that would guide him to his most authentic self. As a nonbinary queer person of color, Brandon knows the pain of hiding one's true self, the work of learning to love that true self, and the freedom of finally being your true self. While most inspiring narratives from queer authors take the form of memoirs, Brandon is one of few LGBTQ+ writers writing in the self-help space to offer the readers life lessons. Goodman has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Well+Good, OUT, Bustle, Buzzfeed, and many more. A graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, Brandon lives in Los Angeles with his husband, Matthew, and their dog, Korey.
