LOS ANGELES, CA – (November 22, 2016) – Wicked Girl and 2017 AVN / XBIZ Mainstream Crossover Star of the Year nominee Asa Akira is continuing to expand her pop culture outreach. The star of Brad Armstrong’s heavily award nominated adult films DNA and The J.O.B. is officially a full time employee of Barstool Sports (www.barstoolsports.com), widely considered to be the top independent sports and men’s lifestyle blog among the 21-34 year old male demographic. As the latest addition to the family, Asa will aid Barstool in driving quality content to an engaged readership by blogging, creating content, and co-hosting the site’s popular KFC Radio twice a week with fellow hosts Kevin ‘KFC’ Clancy and John Feitelberg – all while continuing to shoot new adult projects exclusively for Wicked Pictures with the same dedication that’s made her one of the 21st Century’s most lauded adult performers.

“I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be able to have not just one, but two dream jobs,” beams Asa. “Between the announcement that I am joining Barstool, and the fact that I am going to be banging Missy Martinez for the first time next week as director Stormy Daniels yells at me, I feel very emotionally fulfilled.” It’s a sentiment she’s expanded on in a new Barstool Sports blog entry (http://bit.ly/2fo4Ypc), writing, “I am a porn star – and regardless of my new job, that will not change. Barstool is very understanding of my need to get doubly penetrated on a regular basis, and I will continue shooting movies for Wicked Pictures for probably forever.”

For his part, host Kevin Clancy sees her as an ideal addition to the popular podcast’s full-time lineup. “She’s one of the most intriguing people I’ve ever met. I’m fascinated by her. She’s a walking contradiction in some respects. She’s smart, funny, relatable, and then obviously has this other side of her where she has outrageous porn star stories. She’s one of a kind, I think finally having a female point of view is invaluable, and I have more chemistry with her than almost anyone.”

Wicked Pictures President & Owner Steve Orenstein is very pleased with this new chapter in Asa’s career, noting “We’re very happy for Asa! We are glad to see Barstool Sports understands what a great asset she is.”
