Mu Lowdown (easy-reading) article by Jim Burton.

Examples of attractions between minors and adults are surprisingly easy to find in popular culture, despite the tide of hysteria enveloping the mainstream media. One can only assume the theme sells just as well to the public as it does to lawmakers and shrinks.

But what happened when MAPs took the initiative, and decided to put out their own graphical and audio productions? Magazines have long been known as a staple of the MAP community. Indeed, they were an essential lifeline in pre-internet times.

A recent deep-dive into the archives by researchers in the community has also revealed that Boy Lovers in particular were proactive in setting up online radio stations and podcasts.

Hosted by the pseudonymous Rookiee almost 20 years ago, the Pedologues Podcast was a further such example of this initiative among BLs. Rookiee was very much ahead of his time, and even once used the term AAM on his blog, inviting some of them on to his show to be interviewed. The show ran for 30 episodes, making it the longest running such production by some distance. A more recent example was MAPs IRL, hosted by three self-identified MAPs from 2018.

Thanks to the Mu Forum member, Strato*, there are now summaries and timestamps for each episode of Pedologues on Yesmap's wiki. We hope these summaries and the podcasts themselves will help inspire future generations of MAPs to create their own audio content and share it with the world.

Please feel free to discuss this article on our forum thread.
