If you haven’t yet stumbled upon the comedic gem that is My Dad Wrote A Porno, it’s time to rectify that glaring oversight. Imagine this: your dad, sweet old Dad, decides one day to pursue a second career in erotica. Now, instead of calling you to share his dreams of being a writer, he’s passing you hand-written pages of his self-published “masterpiece.” Enter hosts Jamie Morton, James Cooper, and Alice Levine, who don’t just read these cringe-worthy stories aloud—they dissect them, laugh about them, and, quite frankly, provide a hilariously awkward backdrop for some of the most scandalously bad writing ever committed to paper. It’s like a literary roast fest, but with far more innuendo and absurd scenarios that make you question your upbringing.
The podcast has captured the attention of nearly 2 million listeners, which is no surprise considering how effortlessly it blends the ridiculous with the raucously funny. Each episode features a special guest—comedians, actors, and even a few brave authors who are all willing to dive into the peculiar world of amateur erotica. The guests, ranging from comedic heavyweights to up-and-coming icons, always add their own unique flair to the proceedings. Whether it’s a big name who expertly delivers a personalized reading of a particularly absurd passage or a quirky guest who can barely contain their laughter, the chemistry between hosts and guests fuels the outrageous atmosphere. You may find people like David O’Doherty and Richard Herring dissecting just how an old man can misinterpret a romantic encounter so dramatically, and the hilarious conclusions they draw only heighten the absurdity.
Let’s talk about the content itself—if you can call it that. The tales of “Belinda Blinked” (the poorly realized protagonist who seems to be on a never-ending quest for poorly described sexual escapades) are a crash course in bad writing. You could almost say that every episode is a masterclass in “How Not to Write Erotica.” Plot holes? Check. Inappropriate analogies? Double-check. Excessive descriptions that make you question your very existence? You bet!
One episode had me in stitches as the trio dissected a scene that revolved around an intimate encounter in a potato factory. Yes, you read that correctly. The only thing funnier than the original prose is hearing Jamie, James, and Alice labor through the discomfort as they read it aloud, desperately trying to keep their laughter in check.
Listeners tuning in to My Dad Wrote a Porno can expect not just to appreciate the sheer unintentional comedy of a father’s ill-fated literary ambitions, but also to engage with a lively community of fellow fans who revel in the shared cringe. The podcast stands out for its ability to transform something embarrassingly personal into universal laughter, reminding us that, no matter how awkward our family encounters may be, it’s always better when we can laugh at it together. So sit back, relax, and prepare for an auditory experience that’s both painfully awkward and uproariously funny—just don’t blame me if you find yourself snorting tea out of your nose!
