The Private Parts Unknown podcast has reached an exciting new milestone with the release of its 200th episode. Private Parts Unknown is a Bourdain-style podcast that explores love and sexuality around the world. The feed has garnered over two million downloads and the show has been featured in outlets like Business Insider and Men’s Health.

For its 100th episode, Private Parts Unknown featured sex educator and fetish wrestler Lola Jean, who holds the world record for volume squirting, making for a memorable celebration. Now, for the 200th episode, host Courtney Kocak is sharing audio from two of her recent standup comedy shows. This landmark episode offers a fresh, humorous take on the show’s signature themes of sex, love, relationships, and gender that have resonated so strongly with her audience.

Reflecting on this special episode, Kocak shares, “I thought it would be really fun for listeners to hear my comedic takes on some of the topics that we talk about on the show—I am a little dirty, I have a lot of sex-related material, and I’m always coming from a feminist bent.”

The podcast’s most popular episode to date is My Tokyo Happy Ending Massage Changed Everything I Thought I Knew About Sex and Pleasure. Inspired by the show’s trip to Japan, this episode continues to be a listener favorite.
