Montana's favorite niche erotica author, Chuck Tingle, launches a 'big time' podcast

A year ago, the Indy introduced readers to Montana’s rising star in the gay niche erotica ebook scene, Chuck Tingle. Tingle is the pen name of a writer who claims to live in Billings and sells short works of satirical, topical erotica called Tinglers on Amazon for $2.99 each. He became an unlikely internet hero in 2016 when he punked a bunch of Gamergate trolls, weaponizing his art to “prove love is real.”

He’s continued to build his cult following since, with recent Tinglers “Taken Hotly By My Handsome Physically Manifested Hot Take,” “Slammed In The Butt By My Handsome Laundry Detergent Pod,” and “Sentient Fort Pauls Manofort Is Charged In The Butt While Tromp’s Foreign Policy Advisor Georgie Papadop Admits He Lied About Hiding Inside.”

For his latest act, Tingle is romping into the podcast world with the forthcoming launch of his series “Pounded in the Butt by My Own Podcast.” The series is produced by indie podcast studio Night Vale Presents, publishers of the long-running podcast “Welcome to Night Vale.”

Tingle first teased the show in an online message on Valentine’s Day in which he acknowledged the foray into audio was a big step for an author who has closely guarded his identity — what he calls his “privacy as a doctor.” While Tingle will serve as the series’ host, the bulk of each episode consists of guests performing his Tinglers aloud. Guests for season one include musician Dane Terry reading “Bigfoot Pirates Haunt My Balls” and actress Mara Wilson reading “Butt Wars: Rogue Buns.”
