(Los Angeles, CA / February, 2025) – 

Pillow Talk, the powerhouse comedy sex podcast, officially earned the title of “Best Podcast” at this year’s AVN Awards, marking a milestone for Ryan Pownall and his team as they approach the show’s fourth anniversary.

Fresh off the win, Pillow Talk is building on its momentum with the sold-out Dirty Little Secret Live event and exclusive red carpet coverage from the AVN Awards, further cementing its place as the industry’s go-to platform for unfiltered conversations and outrageous entertainment.

“Coming up on Pillow Talk’s 4th anniversary, we’re ecstatic winning the award for ‘Best Podcast’ at the 2025 AVN Awards. The validation of winning was the greatest accomplishment in our four-year journey of building this brand. This is the OSCARS of porn,” said Pownall.

“We’re thankful for the support of the adult industry for being a community we hope to uplift through our platform. Thank you to AVN, Brazzers, Ricky’s Room, Sex.com, Fansly, Jerkmate, and all the all-star talent that came and supported us at our sold-out opening event for the Dirty Little Secret Live Show. We’re honored to have our panel of industry legends Cherie Deville, Luna Star, and Keiran Lee hosting this week’s new episode on Pillow Talk available on all streaming platforms. Thank you to the team that makes Pillow Talk—Liam Riley, Trevor Calof, Terry Manzi.”

With Dirty Little Secret Live making its AVN debut as a signature event, the show is now launching as a monthly series, blending live comedy, audience interaction, and a celebrity guest judge panel. The show’s first run at Bourbon Room Hollywood was an instant success, selling out and delivering a night of jaw-dropping storytelling and no-holds-barred humor.

“We’re thankful for the amazing podcasts and talent that help elevate the vision of Pillow Talk,” said co-host and producer Liam Riley. “From our filming, events and future endeavors, we would not be able to do it without the people we have on every week to share their stories. 2025 will be the BIGGEST year yet for Pillow Talk. We hope to win Best Podcast for years to come like Abella Danger’s Most Amazing Ass.”

For those who missed the AVN action, Pillow Talk‘s red carpet coverage is now available on YouTube.

Pillow Talk with Ryan Pownall (PillowTalkWithRyan.com), which just released its newest episode, “One Night in Vegas with World’s Top Adult Stars & Pillow Talk”, is available through YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts and presented by Jerkmate. To learn more about Pillow Talk podcast, visit Linktr.ee/pillowtalkwithryan
