Today's episode is guaranteed to spark strong opinions. We're discussing relationship anarchy: can it be practiced in monogamy or is it a contradiction of terms? We'll be looking at some of the core components of relationship anarchy and how they can be applied in order to improve our relationships and work against the various normative systems that cause so many to be hurt, disenfranchised, or disempowered.

For some more background and a deeper dive into relationship anarchy, check out Episode 150: Relationship Anarchy 101, and Episode 339: The Smorgasbord of Relationships.

This week's episode is all about the Relationship Anarchy Smorgasbord! We're discussing its history and creation, its significance, and how you can use it in your relationships even if you don't identify as a relationship anarchist.

This week's episode is another one of our Multiamory Stories, this time with Kori Nicole Williams. Kori is a writer who loves entertainment news and using her platform to help her audience understand others. During this episode, she opens up about her experiences with polyamory and relationship anarchy, queerness, and Christianity.

This week we're joined by Sex Out Loud podcast host, award-winning author, sex educator, and speaker Tristan Taormino to talk about solo polyamory and relationship anarchy. Tristan has edited 25 anthologies and written 8 books on the subject of sex and relationships, including Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships. She is also the founder of The Open List, which details healthcare and other professionals who have experience working with alternative sexualities and lifestyles.

Some people think polyamory can only function with a primary-secondary hierarchy. Others think it's a recipe for disaster.

Dr. Kim Tallbear teaches us all about settler sexuality and modern approaches to creating kin and varied support networks.

Relationship Anarchy: what is it? Who invented it? Does it mean overthrowing the relationship government? 

Multiamory loves The Beatles, but we take issue with the assertion that love is all you need. In this episode, we discuss the dangers of what is traditionally "magical" thinking surrounding love and relationships. If you're in a relationship that is dysfunctional, codependent, or making you miserable all in the name of love, here's where you can learn valuable tools to evaluate whether your relationship has a leg to stand on, or if it may be time to leave. 

The Ethical Slut, long considered to be the "Bible" of polyamory and alternative relationships, is celebrating its 20th anniversay with a new, updated edition! The book had an incredible impact on each of our lives, and we are so excited to be speaking to co-author and educator Janet Hardy. Janet shares with us what's new in the updated edition, what she sees for the future of non-monogamous relationships, and her one piece of advice for anyone considering polyamory

Whew, that's a lotta P's! After many discussions inspired by our solo polyamory episode a few weeks ago, we decided to revisit the topics of hierarchy and priority. Some people insist that a primary/secondary hierarchy is the only that works for long-term polyamory. After all, if you want a house, kids, and any other number of long-term relationship milestones, most people choose to do that with a single, primary partner. However, we argue that it is possible to enjoy these things either with one partner or multiple partners, but without resorting to establishing a rigid hierarchy. We explore the idea of organic priority within your relationships, rather than prescribing hierarchal roles.
