news.com.au has launched Sex, Lies and Streaming, its first investigative podcast with an entertainment focus.

Hosted by news.com.au journalist James Weir (main photo) Sex, Lies and Streaming promises to pull back the curtain on the multi-billion-dollar adult creator economy, following British OnlyFans sensation Bonnie Blue during one pivotal week in Las Vegas that could make or break her career.

Over six-episodes, the podcast combines investigative documentary with reality show elements to expose the brutal economics and human cost behind the headlines.

Along the way, Weir explores the industry’s inner workings, meeting moguls, millionaires, and performers who’ve thrived or failed.

news.com.au Editor Kerry Warren said “Love it or hate it, OnlyFans has exploded into the mainstream, thanks in no small part to the headline-grabbing tactics of Bonnie Blue. Bonnie and other X-rated creators have flooded both social and traditional media with tales of their immense wealth and glamorous lifestyles – but in the world of adult content, nothing is as it seems.”

“We wanted to dig deeper into this cultural phenomenon, to expose the truth of a booming industry and the larger-than-life characters it has spawned – without judgement and with no holds barred.”

The podcast launches with two episodes and will then be released weekly. Episodes are supported with video and editorial coverage on news.com.au.
