Matt Slayer’s popular And Now We Drink is far and away our favorite podcast here at MikeSouth.com, because its uncontrived, conversational style is truly the best way to get to know the guests.
In a universe where shows such as Holly Randall’s vastly overpraised Unfiltered uses subjects and questions agreed upon in advance, and Plug Talk is nothing more than a podcast-themed content trade sex scene, Slayer’s fun, irreverent — and yes, thoughtful — show truly stands out.
And Now We Drink has earned praise from corners as far flung as the sex worker community, to journalist/Tokyo Vice author Jake Adelstein, who called the show one of the most “interesting and fun podcasts around,” adding that “despite looking like he should be scalping tickets as a KISS concert, [Slayer] is a funny and compassionate interviewer. Very informative not only about sex work, but the podcast also gives you a real sense of the people he’s interviewing.”
Once again the iconic show has been nominated for Favorite Adult Podcast in the 2025 AVN Fan Awards.
This represents the third AVN nomination for And Now We Drink. Native Chicagoan Slayer, a former private investigator and roadie, was also nominated by AVN in 2018, in the category of Best Non-Sex Performance, for his memorable comic role in Joanna Angel’s Jews Love Black Cock.
“It’s an honor to be nominated, and I look forward to losing, yet again, for the third year running, to a ‘podcast’ that is just a set-up to sex scene,” Slayer joked this week. “I plan to celebrate, win or loss, with cigars and whiskey.”
The public is invited to vote for their favorite performers, cam models and creators in each Fan-Voting category until the deadline at noon on Saturday, January 25, 2025—the same day as the 42nd annual AVN Awards Show, hosted by Blake Blossom and Alex Knight.
We encourage fans to cast their vote for Matt Slayer’s And Now We Drink in the AVN Fan Awards by clicking on the photo of the show’s logo on the Favorite Adult Podcast category page, and may vote for it every day until January 25.
