{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Pleasure Explosion","slug":"pleasure-explosion","podcastDescription":"

Pleasure Explosion was the fun idea that kickstarted the Explosion Network — the original podcast that launched everything else. Hosted by Thomas Marshall and friends, each week brought conversations that swung from heartfelt to laugh-out-loud funny, giving listeners a chance to really get to know the crew.

The show ran for a total of 69 episodes (nice).

📅 First Episode: 01/03/2017
📅 Final Episode: 21/06/2018

Though Pleasure Explosion has now concluded, the archives remain as a time capsule of where the Explosion Network began — because every network needs an origin story, and this was ours.
