Grindr Presents: "Who’s The Asshole?," A New Sex-Positive Podcast Hosted by Katya

So you think you might be the asshole? Maybe. Let’s chat. Enter our latest brainchild, the podcast that's here to dissect your worst (or maybe best?) impulses: Who’s The Asshole?, hosted by none other than Katya Zamolodchikova. And yeah, we're going there—everywhere, and nothing’s off-limits. We’re into sugar daddies, not into sugar-coating—so we’ll be serving up  the truth, the hole truth, and nothing butt the truth.

Alright, So What’s it About?

Ever open the door to a Grindr hookup expecting Mr. Right Now only to find Mr. Way Back When looking nothing like his 10-year-old flip phone pics? Did you send him packing? Or just shut the door with a “thanks, but no throwbacks?” Or maybe you blocked someone after they sent you a dick pic and then questioned yourself. Was it not artful enough? Were you looking for a few more inches? Or maybe you just wanted more woah, less oh.

In any case, at some point, you’ve probably asked yourself, "Was I the asshole?" Well, guess what? You're not the only one. Quick hookups, quicker ghostings—it can all get a bit messy, and sometimes it’s easy to forget there’s a real person on the other side of the screen. But also, when red flags pop up… sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, even if it leaves you wondering: “Am I the asshole?’

Those moments of self-reflection? Those gray areas where you’re not sure who shat the etiquette bed? That’s what we’re exploring with Who’s the Asshole? We dive deep—yes, that deep—into the messiest, juiciest stories of sex & dating we could get our grubby paws on. The conversations we’re having are raw, unfiltered, uncut, and everything in between—all in the spirit of better understanding each other without judgment. With a guest lineup of some of our favorite LGBTQ+ icons, Who’s the Asshole? is the podcast your dirty little ears didn’t know they needed.

But on the pod, you’re not just the listener, you’re also part of the fun. We set up a Grindr Voicemail (it may or may not be (510) ASS-HOLE…) and asked our users to send in their un-hole-iest stories for Katya and our guests to have their way with. Each episode, we pick our favorite stories and unpack them with a mix of sass, class, and a little bit of ass, showing that no story is too scandalous to share. You dialed in so we could dish out, and for that, we salute you.

Here’s Our Hole Lineup

• Orville Peck, the masked marvel of country music, opens up about the high notes and low blows of airport breakups. Grab your tissues and cowboy boots, y’all—it’s a tearjerker with twang.
• Jordan Firstman, writer/actor, film producer, and prophet of penis positivity, is here to preach the good word: every shape, every size, gets a gold star. Get ready to celebrate dick diversity.
• Trace Lysette, actress and producer goddess, dives into the mystery of why straight guys can't resist the Grindr glow.
• Saucy Santana, one of rap's fiercest forces, dishes on his heaux tales and how he has navigated homophobia in hip-hop.

Why Katya?

Why Katya? Babe, who else has the guts to get into your guts?

He's equal parts therapist, confessor, and anal-yst on all things sex and dating, always ready to skirt the fine line between being assertive and just being, well, an asshole.

When Grindr threw out the idea of getting down, Katya was already there, toolkit in hand—think enemas, poppers, and an unshakable spirit. Fearless, fucking hilarious, and ready to get into it.

He's all of us—just way funnier, so he was the obvious choice.

This Isn't Just Another Podcast (Well, it is, but you get the point)

Who’s The Asshole? is basically your new bible on navigating gay mess. We’re heading fist-first into the kind of stories that make prudes clutch their pearls. We’ve all had those nights where we’re either the star or the asshole (sometimes both), and it’s rarely pretty—but always enlightening (no, we’re not talking about anal bleaching).

So come on in, our holes have been expecting you.

The first episode of ‘Grindr Presents: Who’s the Asshole?’ premieres on February 15, 2024, and can be viewed on YouTube and streamed wherever you get your podcasts.
