The podcast can also be found on approximately 30 additional podcast directories.

"Friday Night Fun" is an audio podcast of adult erotic stories featuring an introduction by Penelope Pardee. The podcast is designed to be released once per week on Friday nights just in time for traditional weekend frolics! The podcast provides adults with audio content that inspires and ignites satisfaction in their sexual lives and leads to healthier and happier relationships.

The series is off to a resounding success with over 27,000 downloads in just a few short weeks. Los Angeles leads the market for downloads, followed by New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Dallas. The show has also been downloaded from 21 countries outside the U.S. iTunes has featured the "Friday Night Fun" podcast as a leader in the New & Noteworthy area of both the Health and Sexuality categories, and the podcast has held top 10 ranking in both categories for "Podcast Episodes" as well as "Podcasts," which is the general podcast category.

Executive Podcast Producer Chris Barbu of Fast Forward Media, the producer of the podcast series, said, "This has been one of the most successful podcast releases we have ever worked with. Within just a few short days, the podcast was featured in iTunes and the first audio program, 'Moving Violation,' was ranked number two in the most popular podcast following Dan Savage of 'Savage Love' in the sexuality category." Barbu adds, "There obviously is a great deal of interest in this content, and it was nice to see Apple's iTunes feature the program so quickly."
