Turned On with Sue and John
Show Description: *
Turned On with Sue & John is a bold, funny, and deeply human podcast about s*x, relationships, desire, and what really happens behind closed doors — especially after 30, 40, and beyond.
Hosted by Sue McGarvie, a clinical s*x & relationship therapist, and her co-host John, the show blends expert insight, real stories, cultural commentary, and zero-judgment curiosity. We’re not here for “light a candle” advice — we go where grown-ups actually live.
Sue McGarvie is a clinical sx and relationship therapist, author, speaker, and podcast host known for turning taboo topics into honest, intelligent, and surprisingly funny conversations. She specializes in sx and connection after 40, desire discrepancies, modern dating, and alternative relationship structures — without shame, fluff, or performative positivity. Short. Credible. Zero apology.
John is the Bad Boy of radio. Currently on 40+ stations across North America.
