Emotional First-Aid When we talk kink, catnip and I, we talk a lot about physical care, after-care, negotiation, and techniques, but what is often overlooked is the emotional effort BDSM play requires. Tonight we are going to discuss Emotional First Aid and how it is applied to Kink. Lucky for us, our very own Catnip teaches the class, Emotional First Aid in Kink. This unique class is designed to educate and support participants in their understanding of and how to use effective emotional care practices before, during and after kinky play. By exploring emotional dynamics in scenes and relationships we can learn practical tools for prevention, interventions, and aftercare. Join us tonight as we look deeper into this often overlooked subject, Emotional First-Aid. |

Tonight on Mischief Matters
Radio: Closure! You don't have to be in the lifestyle to understand that closure is a thing, it affects everyone who has ever been in a relationship. Tonight Mistress Schari and Catnip are talking with their good friend Dave about the process of closure. Why it's so important and how it can be achieved even if the other person is no longer available to contribute to it. Closure creates space and freedom to actually be open to new possibilities and opportunities. Listen in as Dave and Mistress Schari discuss how she helped Dave through an exercise that facilitated the closure he sought.

JP Tonight on a special episode of Mischief Matters Radio we will be talking with the head of Studio 58 Events, JP. Studio 58 runs the Naughty Noel convention that Mistress Schari and catnip are so fond of presenting at. This year we will be presenting at another of their events, Naughty Gras. Join us for a candid conversation with event producer, JP. Naughty Gras is a four day festival where Studio 58 takes over two adjacent hotels in Gettysburg, PA, for a private extravaganza. The venue is transformed to recreate the French Quarter of New Orleans, with sinful celebrations. Naughty Gras offers a clothing optional environment with 24 hour kinky play areas, including a heated indoor pool, vendors with a variety of adult toys, along with tasting workshops for a variety of kinks, classes to explore new sensual adventures, and oodles of activities. JP is an educator, practitioner, promoter, former venue owner, and lover of the DC Baltimore pansexual kink scene. He started Dark ROPE cabin parties to rejuvenate his local kink scene. With much help, these parties grew over three years, becoming the hot spot for neighboring kinksters. From there, volunteers were drawn to JP to grow the parties into a commercial space, drawing guests from across Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania. Nine years of hard work developed Studio 58's "Naughty" events well past JP's original vision. He now leads a large, loving and loyal leather family giving so much for the BDSM community. This inspires his passionate drive to keep producing events, making sure those who struggle with fitting in always have a kinky place they call home. |

For others, however, it can have embarrassing and financially devastating consequences.

She briefly modeled for several kink sites such as HardTied.com and Kink.com. Since retiring from modeling in 2010, she has been focusing on tying and creating dynamic scenes for her and her play partners at various events around the country as well as studying as many aspects of BDSM as she can. During the pandemic, the well timed purchase of a suspension rig for her home allowed her to fine-tune certain rope skills.

August 15, 2023 Show Special Guest: Nicholas Tanek Tonight join Mistress Schari and Nicholas
Tanek, author and Host of Your Kinky Friends Podcast as
they discuss a very sensitive yet important subject in our kink
community. PRIVACY. |
Mistress Schari and Catnip host their first show of the summer!
Tonight Mischief Matters Radio speaks to Scott, a member of Mistress Schari's kink community. We continue our discussion on toxic masculinity and how the community has changed to pave way for Dominants to be more educated to do better. The pros and cons of the role the internet has played in shaping modern dominants and how glad most of us are for these advancements. Join us for a candid discussion on the modern dominant.
 April
18, 2023 ShowDarren Campbell Mistress Schari and Catnip have an incredible conversation tonight about a very serious subject... Toxic Masculinity. Two words that get tossed around a lot lately, but do we really understand what it means and how to create safe spaces for persons of all genders to communicate effectively with each other. Joining our conversation is Darren Campbell (he/him) is a sexuality and relationship educator and coach based out of Toronto, Ontario. The conversation around toxic masculinity gives us language and tools to deal with the lies society tells us about how to be men. These lies and narratives impact every aspect of life and cause a lot of harm in our relationships with ourselves and each other. By talking about healthy masculinity and by using tools available to us we can create a world that reduces harm and gives each of us (men and non-men alike) permission to pursue our authentic bliss. Addressing the ways the patriarchy and it’s close cousins white supremacy and colonialism are actively harming us is one of the most important things we can do in pursuit of our own path and creating a more equitable, just world. Darren is a proudly queer, non-monogamous, pleasure-affirming community member who loves to facilitate discussions and experiences that strengthen relationships and encourage a sense of curiosity and exploration. His education and coaching areas of focus include self-love & acceptance, consent, communication, non-monogamy, & power exchange. An intersectional lens informs Darren’s coaching and workshop facilitation, recognizing that we live in a complex world with many identities, needs, and desires, and are often subject to systems that actively cause us harm. Darren is invested in growing his anti-oppressive practices and welcomes any feedback on how to make his teachings more accessible and inclusive. In his classes and coaching, Darren provides participants with tools and examples that help them communicate more clearly and authentically with themselves and their partners. Darren believes that a collaborative approach, focused on creating a sense of safety and shared vulnerability, is the key to great sex, connection, and a love-filled life. |

Mischief Matters Radio is discussing
generational age gaps in relationships tonight and how in
lifestyle relationships it's often something we choose because
we count on it for certain experiences. For instance, a younger
person may deliberately be attracted to an older person because
they will naturally be better navigators for adulting. While an
older person may choose a younger person because it brings out
their own vitality and exuberance for life. Whatever the case
may be, age gaps are common and worth discussing. We will also
be joined by Billy Lore who will be leading a workshop for us in
March, Better Bottoming w/Billy. Billy is a Philly-based sex
educator and porn maker with an overdeveloped sense of curiosity
and a big mouth. He centers trans pleasure, authentic
communication, playful kink, and queer joy in all of his work,
while his teaching style prioritizes inclusivity, accessibility,
harm-reduction, and humor. He uses storytelling to engage the
audience, and metaphors and pop culture references to break down
complex topics into digestible concepts. You can find him
engaging in dorky discourse on sex, dating, and masturbating
every week on The Dildorks and you can follow him online at @BillyLore
on Twitter, @BillyLore_ on instagram, and

November 17, 2022 Show This month Mistress Schari talks crossdressing and feminization with The Cherry Bomb, a cis-gendered female and enthusiast of crossdressing fetishists. The Cherry Bomb, also known as Cbombz on Fetlife, entered the kink world several years ago when she discovered that she had an attraction to men in stockings after her then lover tried on a pair, along with heels and panties. As she watched the world of the masculine and feminine collide, she immediately felt at home in a new culture that she never knew existed. Since then, she has dated, befriended and admired men who enjoy dressing up as women. She feels like an advocate and a supporter to anyone who wants to explore their inner femme, so much so that she began hosting a podcast called “Conversations with Crossdressers,” where she conducts one on one interviews with CDs from all walks of life. You can find links to her profile and podcasts here: https://thecherrybomb11.podbean.com/ https://fetlife.com/users/9720978 |
