Graydancer's Ropecast

After some clarification on the Japanese terms used in last week's Ropecast on the EEG of Ichinawa, Gray dives into an interview with the organizers of Pittsburgh's ROPENSPACE. The next one is October 12, 2013 - sign up now! 

Russ and Kashmira have been together for over 9 years. Together they run the Pittsburgh chapter of Rope Bite and facilitate the Pittsburgh RopenSpace. Russ is a top, sadist, fetish photographer and never takes himself too seriously. His redheaded partner in crime, Kashmira, is a self-affirmed rope slut and never takes Russ too seriously either. They have presented at Shibaricon, Winter Wickedness, OhioSMART, Black Rose, several GRUEs and various regional events.

This podcast was produced with the help and sponsorship of the Devils Mask Society and listeners like you. 

During the month of April, Graydancer wrote almost every day with a letter of the alphabet as the theme as part of the A to Z Blog Challenge. Poetic decided it would be a good idea to read each entry. The result is this epic podcast (One Hour Thirty-Six Minutes!) of sexy brains and mellifluous voices coming together.

Well, not always. But occasionally. If you'd like the pics that go with each entry, visit the April 2013 archive at Graydancer.com and check 'em out. Poetic also has an awesome blog which is well worth reading.

As usual, thanks go to the Devils Mask Society for sponsoring this podcast, as well as to individual donations from listeners like you!

Thanks to the Kink Academy, this podcast begins with a conversation between Graydancer and the Control Enthusiast himself, JP Robichaud. They talk about the idea of process vs. product as it applies to rope bondage, and how pictures may be the ruin of a good rigger. 

After taking care of some schedule updates (and reminding you of the discount code ROPECAST for Debauchery NC) Gray goes into listener mail and answers a question about how to work within a more limited range of motion when tying up a bottom. The link to the full show notes is here, but the quick link to the archived show on bondage and fibromyalgia is here.

This ropecast starts with an on-the-spot interview with Min, President of the Leather Rose Association in Chicago. He came to Madison to talk about leather, so of course Gray asks him about rope!

Then, after a few announcements, Gray fulfills a listener's request that he respond to The Love Bite podcast about competitive BDSM. Is it a problem in the rope world? Does a bear wear a funny hat?

If you haven't listed to the Love Bite podcast (RIP), you can find it here. 

Remember you can also get a $20 discount on your Debauchery NC registration by using the code "ropecast" at registration!

Graydancer spends some time with Lochai and Bendyogagirl at the lovely Ramblewood campground in Maryland. They talk about issues in kink, the occasional crisis of Rope, and the possible End of the Ropecast..

Graydancer interviews the folks from VASE and the Vermont GRUE about their experience during the first ever GRUEmont, during pancakes, rope, and merriment the Morning After.
