Podcasts about polyamorous

*This episode addresses the existence of sex and sexual health.*In last month's installment of "How We Love," we dove deep into the world of ethical nonmonogamy and polyamory. For this special episode of "Under the Radar," we meet Justin, Debbie and Alex: three people in a legal domestic partnership, which is only recognized in certain towns in Massachusetts. They live together with their children, cohabitating in a familial structure many may question but that has worked for them for years. So what's their day-to-day like? How did they meet? And how do they push back on stereotypes, myths and side-eyes thrown their way?Check out all the installments of "How We Love": https://www.wgbh.org/culture/series/how-we-love

Following our previous conversation digging into the social factors tied to those who are polyamorous, we thought it’d be worth getting into what legal questions face polycules. Given that joint banking and homeowning have mostly been centered around monogamous relationships, how can additional partners be legally protected in these sorts of financial decisions? How do polyamorous partners navigate these institutions, and what legal protections do they have to ensure they aren’t being discriminated against? Joining us to help dig into the topic is Alana Chazan, co-founder and senior attorney at All Family Legal.

If you’ve been on Seattle dating apps, you may have come across the letters ENM… ENM stands for ethical non-monogamy, which is becoming increasingly popular in the US, and specifically in the Pacific Northwest. A popular form of ENM is polyamory - the practice of having multiple romantic partners at once. Now, advocates for polyamory are trying to gain legal protections in Seattle.

Last month, Olympia became the first city in Washington, and one of just a handful in the country, to pass explicit protections for polyamorous families. The city passed two ordinances in late February that establish protections for people in diverse family and relationship structures. Supporters say the changes are aimed at protecting these community members against discrimination and unfair housing practices. Similar efforts are underway in multiple cities across the west coast. More than 60% of people who responded to a 2025 survey on non-monogamy said they experienced discrimination or stigma in at least one domain, like healthcare or employment. We spoke to an advocate who backed these ordinances -- and who's hoping to bring similar change to Seattle. Guests: Jessa Davis is the executive director for the Seattle Coalition for Family and Relationship Equity Related links: First WA city with protections for polyamorous families | The Olympian In the Northwest, polyamory finds something new: legal protection | The Seattle Times Polyamorous protections moving ahead in Portland as council reaffirms LGBTQ safe harbor status | oregonlive.com 2025 Community Survey Report | OPEN (Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-monogamy) Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

Tim Walz is a cautionary tale for Democrats. Remember, this is the person they supposedly wanted as VP. Now look where he is. He's the nutty white version of Andrew Gillum…[X] SB – British man asked about funding immigrantsHow much can Britain PAY them.Polyamorous relationship.There is a special kind of arrogance required to announce your political retirement while bragging about the policy that just detonated the building behind you. That's not confidence.That's a man striking a heroic pose as the credits roll and the theater catches fire. And Tim Walz did exactly that.As he announced he would not seek another term as governor of Minnesota, Walz decided this was the moment to puff out his chest and praise his “legacy” legislation. Specifically, a brand-new paid family leave program allowing Minnesotans up to 20 weeks off work, courtesy of the taxpayer. A swan song, he called it. Very poetic. Nothing says “graceful farewell” like a benefits program that immediately attracts fraud the way a picnic attracts ants.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Discovering your polyamorous identity while in a long-term monogamous relationship can feel both liberating and terrifying. It's a moment of personal truth that can shake the foundations of your partnership—and that's exactly why it deserves careful, thoughtful consideration.When you realize something fundamental about yourself has shifted (or perhaps was always there but unnamed), it's natural to want to share this with your partner. But how do you navigate this conversation without causing unnecessary harm or rushing into territory neither of you is prepared for?In this episode, we talk about:— Why rushing into action after this realization can lead to unnecessary pain and relationship damage— The importance of understanding what your current monogamy actually looks like before trying to change it— How to create space for both excitement about new possibilities and grief about what might be changing— The value of slowing down and sitting in the "liminal space" between paradigms— Why the person bringing polyamory into the relationship needs to be mindful of their partner's need for processing time— The difference between polyamorous identity and polyamorous behavior (you can be polyamorous without having multiple partners!)— How to approach the conversation with care, acknowledging that it may feel like betrayal to your partner— The importance of making explicit what has been implicit in your relationship— Why both partners need support during this transition, regardless of who initiated the conversationResources mentioned in this episode:— Our guide for having difficult conversations with your partner— Our episode on grief and relationship changes— Entwined by Alex AlbertoJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

Holidays can be a joy-filled time, but they can also become incredibly complicated when you're navigating non-monogamous relationships. How do you balance time between partners, metamours, family members who might not know about your relationship structure, and children who just want to have fun? The stress can quickly overshadow the joy you're hoping to experience.We've been there! That first holiday season after opening up can feel overwhelming as you try to figure out how to integrate new relationship dynamics into established traditions. The good news is that it does get better with time, especially as you learn what works and what doesn't for your unique situation.In this episode, we talk about:— Why holidays act as amplifiers for both joy and challenges in non-monogamous relationships— The importance of documenting what works and doesn't work during your holiday season so you can make adjustments next year— How to handle being at different levels of "outness" with different family members during holiday gatherings— The additional stress that falls on people in "hinge" positions who are trying to balance multiple partners' needs and expectations— Why non-monogamy often becomes the scapegoat for holiday stress (when holidays have always been complicated!)— Practical strategies for redistributing emotional labor during the holidays— The value of scheduling regular check-ins with partners during high-stress holiday periods— How to identify and honor what brings you joy during the holidays rather than just following traditions out of obligation— The importance of prioritizing relationships over holiday perfection— Why reimagining holiday traditions can be a powerful opportunity to align your celebrations with your valuesResources mentioned in this episode:— Our episode on learning how to spend time together as a polyculePlaying With Fire has been featured at #3 in FeedSpot's list of the ⁠Top 25 Non-monogamy Podcasts⁠!JOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

This is a vulnerable episode for me to share, but it was very important to me to record and release this episode because it highlights something I don't think we see enough: people in positions of power, privilege or leadership openly receiving feedback. Janie Ganga is a yoga teacher I deeply admire and have worked closely with for nearly a decade. In May of this year, they reached out to tell me something I had posted on social media had upset and hurt them. (Here is the reel that started it all.) We've had several conversations about the situation since, and this episode is the culmination and public sharing of how we worked through that.  Please listen, share it widely, and let us know how it lands with you. Janie Ganga (she/they) is an E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher, social justice activist, and co-owner of Santosha Yoga, an online studio rooted in the Providence, RI community. Certified in I AM Yoga since 2013, Ganga specializes in Private Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Let Your Yoga Dance, and is completing certification as a Yoga Therapist. Beyond the mat, Janie has organized queer community events for years – creating queer friendly femme-centered spaces in Boston with madFemmePride and co-leading the 2006 Transcending Boundaries Conference, which brought together activists for Transgender, Bisexual, Intersex, Polyamorous, and Kink Rights. As a Professional Member of ASDAH (Association for Size Diversity and Health), Janie is guided by Health at Every Size and is passionate about making yoga accessible to all bodies and identities.

Anne Lamott's son “called on” his mom after a transphobic tweet - Janie stumbled on this story after she questioned a colleague about sharing a Lamott's quote. Ganga discovered Lamott had publicly apologized, though the apology received little attention compared to the initial harm. Public Enemies, Private Friends - recommended by Janie's friend Marshall Miller, this documentary highlights dialogue between pro-choice and pro-life leaders in 1990s Boston. Accessible Yoga Podcast - hearing Jivana Heyman speak about his own activism and yoga inspired Janie to share her own perspective more openly. Ganga is deeply grateful to the colleagues and friends who supported their growth, including Stacy, Jyotika, Padma, Megha, her Anti-Racism for White Yoga Teachers book club, and all her students.

In this episode, we sit down with Tricia Cooke — the creative force behind the recent lesbian comedies Drive-Away Dolls and Honey Don't. Married to filmmaker Ethan Coen (yes, of the Coen brothers), Tricia has long identified as a lesbian, and we dive into how that identity intersects with her decades-long, straight-presenting poly marriage. The conversation spans two interviews a year apart: first, in Tricia and Ethan's Manhattan home following the release of Drive-Away Dolls, and then more recently, as Honey Don't hits theaters. From her early days in the film industry to the making of a queer B-movie trilogy, Tricia shares it all — including some juicy behind-the-scenes moments and insights into working with Honey Don't stars, Aubrey Plaza and Margaret Qualley.

Does what it says on the tin. Gethard talks to a polyamorous witch librarian who once worked the front desk at a brothel, surprisingly perfect training for library life.

For Pride Month, we are throwing back to our award winning episode, PolyFreeLoving multiply or polyamory. We already do it (we love our families, we love our friends, we love our pets), but it's different when it comes to our romantic relationships. In this episode, we meet Ambi, Ex and Intro, a triad on the verge of change, as well as Kevin Patterson, author of Love's Not Colorblind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and Other Alternative Communities.
