The Rialto Report -- excellent podcast devoted to Porn history
Folks have mentioned a few episodes here, but I want to give a big thumbs-up to this entire project, a real labor of love by journalist Ashley West (sounds like a porn name doesn't it?) and a team of people with history in the business like Gerald Damiano, Jr. There's real journalism and digging here, and they turn up a lot of great stories.
These are terrific stories of golden age porn, characters like Jimmy Keyes, the amazing story of "Centurions of Rome". A wonderful journey into the crazy stories around porn in the 70s and 80s, mostly in New York. https://www.therialtoreport.com/category/podcasts/ highly recommended |
Rialto Report also has fulll scans of many Magazines
-- I just noticed this, they're doing full scans of vintage magazines, some are only a year or two, but the scans are very well done. They seem to be adding new titles at the moment.
Adam Film World https://www.therialtoreport.com/2018...am-film-world/ High Society https://www.therialtoreport.com/2018.../high-society/ All in all, Rialto seems very VEF-worthy. |
Rialto does a kind of reporting on long ago porn that will please Pron historians-- consider their great essay:
"Jamie Gillis vs. Ed Powers: The $20,000,000 Conflict Behind the Birth of Gonzo Porn" -- this isn't the kind of reporting you find in Businessweek a little taste Quote:

Yes... :thumbsup:
The Rialto is the bees-knees. Second only to VEF ~ imo. Members here who enjoy the words and info, as much as the visuals will adore TRR. My only crit, is that there is no 'forum' for readers to amplify and discuss ~ their comments / input are mainly artcicle-specific. But still an incredible source, and I've only experienced one 'dead link' in the years I've followed it :thumbsup: |
Not risking an Edit.... :D
One tremendous thing that TRR does, is the frequent Fundraiser for those from the Adult-World that have fallen on hard times. Kay Parker did not become homeless, Sharon Mitchell could pay her dealer - joke - :) Others could afford medication / surgery etc. Brilliant stuff. :thumbsup: |
Sad news people. I'm copying from The Rialto Report Facebook page.
The Rialto Report August 26 at 7:12 PM · So... after almost 6 years of hosting The Rialto Report, our website hosting company, Bluehost, today suddenly decided that they have an issue with the nudity on our site. As a result they have canceled our contract with them - and taken TheRialtoReport.com down completely. We're working on transferring all our content to an alternative site - so that the site will be back up asap. Apologies to all of you who have tried to access the site today, and thanks for your patience and support..! (All podcasts are unaffected and still accessible through your preferred podcast app). We're having a Blue Summer... Here's hoping and praying for their quick return. |
Its working OK now.

Intolerance
Once again, my tenet that the genuine censors on the Internet and the World-Wide Web are not governments, but hosting corporations and payment processing services, comes to bear. :mad:
Even politicians can finally lose an election. There must be some method to oust them and replace them with more tolerant types. :p |
