Show Notes
This week's episode takes us from the natural world to wartime tragedy before finishing with an in-depth look at one of the most misunderstood areas of BDSM. We begin with the remarkable true story of an animal declared extinct... only to disappear all over again. Then we tell the devastating story of the USS Indianapolis, the sinking that left hundreds of sailors stranded in shark-infested waters and became one of the darkest chapters of the Second World War. Our main feature explores BDSM p...

I'm back with Barry in the Padded Cell and Barry is sporting some rather fetching heart-shaped sunglasses! This week, we're digging up a rather bizarre tale involving a dead millionaire, celebrating the wonderfully weird world of octopuses, and I test Barry's imagination when I hand him a rather unusual BDSM toy. A bit of history, some fascinating facts and plenty of laughs. This episode was too good to cut, so we're bringing you part one this week, with part two coming next we...
We're back with Part 2 of Episode 155, and this week Vicky and Barry are getting stuck into swinging! With over 20 years of experience on the scene, Vicky takes a look at why people swing, how things have changed over the years, and some of the psychology behind it all. Barry's got a few opinions of his own, of course, so expect a bit of debate, plenty of laughs and the usual Padded Cell tangents! We've also got a concerning Lady Lobotomy, dishing out some advice....but, do we have a Fetish F...
Kev joins me in the Cell this week for another trip down several completely unrelated rabbit holes. We’ve got a woman whose reputation became much bigger than the reality, possibly the unluckiest submarine ever built, weird science, psychedelics and a Lady Lobotomy question involving something rather permanent. Then the Fetish Factoid gets VERY much into my territory 😈 Plus Kev is off on a cruise; I’m definitely not bitter about it, and we encounter possibly the most confusing piece of linger...
Barry's back with me this week and, as usual, we go off on several tangents before I've barely got through the intro. We celebrate International Coffee Day, although obviously I'm not going to just talk about coffee because that's boring. Then I've had a request from a listener that means Barry has to get out of his chair and become my glamorous assistant for a little demonstration. Our main segment takes us back to the 90s and a TV programme that was WAY ahead of its time. If you're of a cer...
Vicky is joined by Andy for Episode 152, and somehow a perfectly innocent celebration of gorillas takes us exactly where you'd expect The Padded Cell to take it....filthy. We discover some surprisingly human behaviour from our hairy cousins, Andy introduces us to an internet subculture I had somehow completely missed, and Lady Lobotomy receives one of those messages that starts off complicated and very quickly becomes an absolute nightmare. There's also rescue-dog woes, a little trip down me...
