When Wendy Raine sat down with Matt Slayer for his popular podcast, ‘And Now We Drink,’ nobody expected a quiet, formal interview. And they were right. The latest episode turned into a freewheeling, hilarious, and surprisingly revealing conversation that proves once again why podcasts are the new frontier for getting to know your favorite stars.
Spilling the Tea, Not Just the Drinks
Forget the usual Q&A format. According to the official episode summary, Raine kicked things off by immediately calling host Matt Slayer out for something he’d said years ago, setting a playful and refreshingly candid tone for the entire show. From there, the chat veered into the kind of stories you only tell after a drink or two.
The conversation jumped from her memories of a high school drama teacher to what it was really like growing up in Santa Cruz. Raine also opened up about her perceptions of the adult industry before she joined and shared some wild anecdotes from her past gigs as a bartender and a sex shop employee—experiences that have clearly given her a unique perspective on life.
For Raine, the experience was a blast. She told reporters:
“I had the best time on ‘And Now We Drink.’ That was a fun one! Drinking and talking about whatever was on our minds. And we laughed a lot!”
More Than an Interview, It’s a Connection
Raine’s appearance highlights a major shift in the industry. Performers are increasingly using podcasts and other direct-to-fan platforms to peel back the curtain and share their authentic selves. Shows like ‘And Now We Drink’ provide a space where conversations can be long, unscripted, and genuine, allowing fans to connect with the person behind the persona.
It’s a far cry from the curated content of a movie set. As a spokesperson for the podcast noted, the episode was a “whimsical journey that traverses through the highs and lows of personal anecdotes, career reflections, and unexpected life moments.” It’s this blend of humor, honesty, and unfiltered personality that has fans on social media buzzing about the episode.
What’s Next?
This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to see a different side of Wendy Raine—one that’s witty, bold, and incredibly down-to-earth. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best stories are the ones shared over a good drink with good company.
