The Ecstasy Project

Nick Kientsch

Booking Overview

This is an interview-led podcast focused on queer spirituality, Tantra, mindfulness, intimacy, and wellbeing, with recurring conversations between the host and spiritually trained external guests. Suitable pitches include credentialed Tantra practitioners, meditation teachers, Buddhist or non-dualism scholars, LGBTQ+ wellbeing experts, and therapists addressing shame, authenticity, or intimate connection; booking difficulty is likely low because the show is niche and features accessible specialist voices rather than high-profile public figures.
