I mean, I loved it, but it was a very male-dominated, kind of dense major I was in. I was studying computer systems and it was a very. How did Quinn start?Ĭaroline Spiegel: So I started Quinn actually in 2019. Nora Ali: So Caroline, before we get carried away talking about these episodes, let's go back to the beginning. Let's just say I put myself in the narrator's shoes for that one. Scott Rogowsky: "I Can't Wait, Pull Over" was the episode I listened to. Our target audience is women, but there's no gender check. But in your own words, what exactly is Quinn? And how is it catering to this underserved market?Ĭaroline Spiegel: Quinn is an audio erotica app. Nora Ali: So, Caroline, I listened to "Bodyguard Part One," that's what your team had recommended. Scott Rogowsky: We're feeling a little more relaxed now.
Caroline, hello.Ĭaroline Spiegel: Good morning. We'll get to our conversation with Caroline after this quick break. And Caroline, who dropped out of Stanford, by the way, to found the company, stopped by to talk about disrupting the male-centered porn industry, and how Quinn is creating erotic content for a new generation. Since launching in June, Quinn has grown over 70% month over month. Think of Quinn as a romance novel condensed into 15-to-20 minutes, narrated by a cast of often sensual voices. So today, we are talking to Caroline Spiegel, the founder and CEO of Quinn, a subscription audio erotica app for women. Well, the founder that we talked to has done a great job of taking that notion and making it into a successful business, which I love. There is something to the idea of imagining what's happening instead of seeing it explicitly, getting assaulted with the sense, being blasted with the imagery. Scott Rogowsky: I'm aware of the theater of the mind, as I think we both are being in this audio medium. Nora Ali: Like ASMR of sex encounters in real life. I'm like, "What if there's a podcast where it's just people having sex as an audio experience?" I mean, I honestly thought a few years ago. Right? Scott, had you heard of audio porn before this conversation? You're right, probably since the beginning of humankind. Nora Ali: I wonder what is the history of erotica. Scott Rogowsky: In the beginning, there was erotica. Nora and I are here for your ears, wearing sensible, yet revealing clothing, bringing you conversations with creators, thinkers, and innovators who can tell us what it all means and why we should care. Nora Ali: For Morning Brew, this is Business Casual, the podcast reveals the unexpected business story behind everything.
