Maitland Ward joins Blue’s Clues alum Steve Burns for a candid, wide-ranging conversation on the October 22 episode of his new podcast, Alive with Steve Burns.
The episode, “Why is Sex So Hard to Talk About?”, tackles shame, vulnerability, and the lingering discomfort society has with open conversations about sex. Ward, who has built a thriving career across television, film, and adult entertainment, offers her perspective on empowerment, authenticity, and the freedom that comes with owning her story.
“Talking with Steve was a rare chance to really slow down and unpack the way we think and feel about sex. He created space for a meaningful, grown-up conversation about sex, shame and identity – things we all deal with but rarely say out loud. I’m proud to have been part of it.”
Ward’s appearance follows a busy year of high-profile projects, including her feature in A&E’s Secrets of Celebrity Sex Tapes and the upcoming HBO/Ample Entertainment documentary Hollywood Demons, premiering in February 2026.
Both explore how she redefined her public image and became one of the few performers to bridge the worlds of mainstream and adult entertainment successfully.
