Patratul Rosu

Patratul Rosu (in English: Red Square) is the first Romanian podcast on sex education. Its goal is to establish a safe space where listeners can learn all the relevant, necessary and helpful information about intercourse, relationships, gender, a healthy sex life, STDs, sexual stereotypes, insecurities, psychology, and more.Sex, and most of the topics around it, is considered taboo in Romania. The consequences are a lack of knowledge and, therefore, a lack of critical thinking and judgment needed to make decisions and enjoy a healthy sexual life. The podcast aims to compensate for the absence of information, discussions and conversations about sex by providing a better understanding and knowledge of this essential part of people's lives.The hosts are Dana Alecu and Răzvan Băltărețu, two journalists currently working for VICE Romania. Dana Alecu is the Web Content & Social Media Manager at VICE Romania, and Răzvan Băltărețu is the editor-in-chief at VICE Romania.
