In our last episode we enjoyed the first part of our lovely interview with JP the Pope (find the first part of the conversation at Ep:150). With 20+ years in professional rope bondage adult videos, he has a wealth of interesting experiences to talk about, plus his shoots are some of the most interesting and creative rope bondage positions for sex the podcast team has seen. In this episode discover: • When he’s gotten it wrong, accidents and injuries he’s been involved with in rope bondage and how he’s dealt with them • Discussing limits and consent before starting to shoot • How ego kills talent • The benefits of working with an empowered, trusted crew • Continuous improvement and learning, and how he does this • How he comes up with positions for his shoots • Aftercare off-camera (and the critical place of hugs!) • Working with his wife on set and the roles they take • Blooper moments over the years The Pope has been practicing bondage professionally since 2004. He is a bondage rigger, but also a director and performer. The Pope recently has been added to the AVN Hall of Fame, which is the first bondage director/performer ever recognized in that capacity.  Hopefully this paves the way for future bondage/fetish performers and directors to be more accepted and recognized by mainstream media.  NB: Apologies, we had some problems with the sound at fox and Mya’s end, so bear with us. Luckily no issue with the Pope’s! Catch episode 150 for the first half of the interview.

In the world of rope bondage, the conversation is often as intricate as the ties themselves. Rope Podcast is where that conversation lives, hosted by rope partners Fox and Mya. This isn't a theoretical lecture; it's a practical, grounded, and adult-oriented dialogue drawn directly from their shared journey in Shibari and Kinbaku. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in their space, where you'll hear them unpack specific ties, debate current rope topics, and share news from the community. They regularly sit down with other practitioners for interviews, bringing diverse perspectives to the fore. You might find them reviewing a recent event's atmosphere or getting into the nitty-gritty of a new piece of rope gear, discussing its feel and function. Crucially, listener questions drive much of the content, making the podcast a responsive and evolving resource. Tuning into this podcast means accessing a blend of technical insight, personal reflection, and community connection, all centered on the art and practice of rope. Fox and Mya's dynamic provides a relatable entry point for the curious and a rich depth for the experienced, making the rope podcast a natural stop for anyone invested in the craft.
