In the north woods of Wisconsin, bears and badgers roam around looking for food. Fishing is popular, and wildlife is plentiful. But in the small suburb of Waukesha, there’s one sexy geek who is using the Internet to have a little fun, and offering important information at the same time.
Midwest Teen Sex Show is an educational sex podcast aimed at teens. And it’s hilarious.
The narrator, Nikol Hasler, is the most serious character in the show, but her dark sense of humor can be the best punchline sometimes.
The first time I heard of this, I was skeptical to watch, but once I got going, I found myself watching every episode. They examine touchy subjects like oral sex, homosexuality, masturbation, and “backdoor business”.
Nikol’s favorite episode is Birth Control because her three boys make a cameo.
Even though she claims to not be geeky, Nikol uses Twitter, Seesmic, Ning, YouTube, and Facebook.
She is addicted to tweeting.
I love Twitter. I used to do the whole LiveJournal and Blogger thing. And I just find now, that everything I do, I need to Twitter about it. It helps me keep track of people. ‘I’ve just woken up and I’ve got an iBooger. It needs to be talked about.’
She started to use Seesmic to do something fun with her kids. They wanted to make a podcast discussing what they thought was cool at the time. She made a bet with her oldest son that he couldn’t drink a whole cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice. If he won, he was rewarded one week off from cleaning his room.
Brutal, but awesome. Here is another gem.
Nikol has about ten computers around the house, and even an AirPort in the baby’s room so she can pipe in iTunes while he’s sleeping.
“I appreciate geeks,” she says. “I think the sexiest man alive is Ira Glass. I would not kick him out of bed for eating crackers.”
She enjoys her sexy geeks too. But what makes a geek sexy?
When they subject me to new things. I like a man who can code. I like it when they talk code to me. I really love knowing that cords can be called SCSI.

Wow! I have a lot of videos to catch up with tomorrow. I checked out her site and it looks really informative. I love that there are positive role models out there for teens thinking about issues related to sex. That is awesome.
I’m with her on Ira Glass. I think I’ll put him on the list of people to cover at some point. I had to stop listening to that show in the car, because I would find myself pulling over and losing track of time for an hour, which is ok if you aren’t on your way to work
It looks like Nikol is a geek in a few different ways.
What an awesome first post. You took off like a racecar!!
I started watching MTSS after you Twittered about it and I just LOVE it! Nikol is awesome & it’s even better knowing that she’s so geeky! I just met her last night oh so briefly and she’s even more cute and wonderful in person.
I, too, am crazy about Ira Glass. I’ve been addicted to This American Life for years & recently (finally) snagged a ticket to see him live — they always sell out so fast I had to get the tix 6 months in advance! I have been actively on the hunt for sufficient info about his geekiness to include him here — but maybe just having him be the object of geek girl crushes is enough!
Fabulous first post. I love your style.
