DIY, Portland: Too Hot For the Radio Listening Party
“DIY, Portland, ” a local radio show that covers do-it-yourself projects from crafts to home funerals, takes on perhaps the ultimate DIY activity—masturbation. Due to its provocative subject matter, it will not be broadcast. Fortunately, host (and former
WW intern) Julie Sabatier will be hosting a listening party for the episode—which features sex columnist Dan Savage and Portland’s Isis Leeor, creator of the seminar, “Look Ma, No Hands!”—in all its raunchy glory. The episode will also be available at destinationdiy.com.
