What’s your GEBO? – S2E4



What’s your GEBO? Or is it gebo?

In this week’s episode, we are joined with Lauren Zuniga, a queer, femme, Okie poet. In this conversation, Lauren recites poems, discusses being a queer parent in Oklahoma, and shares her tips for making good sex good (and the one thing to avoid). There’s laughter, tears, and gasps of amazement.

Despite the upheaval of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, The Peak plans to continue to create and release new content exploring how human beings can find intimacy, practice safe sex, and connect to ourselves sensually in a time where social distancing is a public health necessity.

Meet the Host – Robyn Wheelock



Hey, y’all! My name is Robyn Wheelock, and I am the host and producer of The Peak. I started this project in 2018 after being inspired by the #metoo movement.

I kept myself semi-anonymous throughout season one due to my fear of the stigma surrounding frank and open conversations about sexuality, especially as a young queer woman early in her career.

But as I prepared for Season 2 and reflected on why I choose to do this work, it became clear that if I want to destigmatize sex and contribute to a culture of honesty, I have to be transparent, and confront my fear of stigma. Sex isn’t shameful, and I’m not ashamed to talk about it.

So here I am folks! Here’s to making 2020 a year of honesty, clarity, and confidence!

Greetings listeners! It is our great excitement to announce that Season Two of The Peak is now in pre-production and that we will have new episodes available in early 2020! We are currently reaching out to guests, and plan to host a wide variety of folks with a wide variety of sexual experiences. This season, we are hoping to produce both personal interviews, and interviews with sex workers, sexual health professionals, and sex-positive activists about their careers.

Is there someone you would like to see as a guest on The Peak? Would you like to be a guest on the show yourself? If so, leave a comment or contact our producer, Robyn, at thepeakpod@gmail.com!


Emotional Connection to my Vibrator- E14



CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault throughout and a vivid description of rape from 26:35-29:30 and from 35:35-36:24. Listener discretion is advised.

This episode features special guest Bella Rea and a sweet soundtrack provided by the birds outside the recording studio (Robyn’s apartment). Bella discusses her experiences with bravado and vivacity, from fearlessly describing being raped at 17, to her passion for vibrators. Listen now to hear our conversation about Bella’s love for “boys who listen and boys with cars,” her first time kissing another girl, and her appreciation for porn outtakes.

If you or a loved one have experienced rape or sexual violence, The Peak stands with you. The following links lead to The RAINN list of National Resources for Sexual Assault Survivors and the national rape crisis center locator and may be of service to you.

Be advised, this episode includes a description of sexual assault.
