My Dad Wrote A Porno final episodes release date confirmed as podcast ends after eight years
Bad news for Belinkers – My Dad Wrote A Porno will be coming to an end very soon, with its final episodes set to be released this month.
Dubbed the ‘most successful podcast in British history’, My Dad Wrote A Porno began in 2015 and has racked up over 430million downloads globally with its six-series run as well as a spin-off ‘Footnotes’ episodes breaking down each chapter.
Hosts Jamie Morton, Alice Levine and James Cooper have confirmed the much-loved – and extremely filthy – podcast will end this year with two final chapters and a special Footnotes episode featuring an interview with the elusive author, Rocky Flintstone himself.
Jamie, Alice and James said in a statement: ‘This show has been the backbone of our lives for the past 8 years. We’ve had new jobs, new homes, break ups, breakdowns and a truck load of Chilean Chardonnay.
‘But the three of us, sitting around the kitchen table reading Rocky’s bad dad porn has been a constant, a guaranteed belly laugh no matter what was going on elsewhere.
‘We know it has been a comfort (and cause of nausea) to millions of listeners too, and it’s been our privilege to be an escape to a different world. The community we have built together around the globe is something we couldn’t be prouder of.’
They added: ‘It’s with a heavy heart that we’ve reached the final chapter of our podcast. But we have a strong feeling, this isn’t the last you’ll hear of Belinda…’
My Dad Wrote A Porno began eight years ago when Jamie discovered his dad – who stays out of the spotlight and goes by the pen-name of Rocky Flintstone – had been writing erotica in his garden shed, known as The Pavilion.
The books, titled Belinda Blinked, following the life and career of Belinda Blumenthal, a businesswoman in the pots and pans industry – which is fraught with questionable sexual escapades.
Jamie shared the books – which are a blend of erotica and business manuals – with Alice and James, before the trio decided to bless the world with Belinda’s story via a podcast.
While My Dad Wrote A Porno initially ran into problems with its title being considered too risqué for iTunes, it later became the most successful podcast in British history according to Acast.
Quickly becoming a hit, the podcast has since racked up a host of celebrity fans including Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and Dame Emma Thompson among others with its often bizarre descriptions of anatomy concocted by Rocky.
The show will finish its two final chapters released on November 28 and December 5, before a final Footnotes episode on December 12 featuring Rocky Flintstone for the first time.
