Cara Courage Archers talk podcast

Dr Cara Courage talks of her pleasure/pain fan relationship with The Archers, in a talk called My BDSM Relationship with The Archers. This talk was first given at Brighton's Catalyst Club  in 2016 and now features as a podcast from The Odditorium. 

BDSM is used as a metaphor in the talk for the often pained, but very pleasurable, experience Cara has as a listener to The Archers - it doesn't contain any explicit sexual references, but does contain swearing and lots of innuendo.
