Nixalina Watson brought her brand, Sex & London City, to Singapore in 2019, creating a digital platform called Sex & Singapore City. She’s a writer by trade and this was a website that included sex, dating and love articles – what she was famed for in her native United Kingdom.
A month after the website went live, she received an e-mail from a studio in Singapore, asking if she’d consider doing a podcast on the topics she writes about.
This led to the launch of the Sex & Singapore City podcast and it became an immediate hit, topping Spotify charts and being included in the Louis Vuitton Singapore Travel Guide, among other accolades.
“I realised it was being listened to in 68 countries so I rebranded it to Can’t Keep My Mouth Shut, and the rest, as they say, is history,” Watson said.
Watson admitted she “had zero intention to become a podcaster”. However, her brand of straight-talking chats about love, dating, sex and everything in between resonated with her audience “who enjoy unfiltered, brutally honest conversational podcast episodes that leave you feeling inspired or sad, in fits of laughter or even simply life-focused – depending on the topic”.
She has spoken about topics such as long-distance relationships, abusive relationships, egg freezing and dating apps.
Listen to Can’t Keep My Mouth Shut here. A new episode drops every Monday evening but Watson sometimes takes a break from recording, “just to keep the creative juices flowing”.
