Hi! We’re your hosts Emma and Fin! We’re a married couple in our late thirties and we’ve been exploring non-monogamy in different ways since nearly the beginning of our relationship more than twenty years ago. But, this podcast isn’t about us…

We strongly believe there isn’t a “right way” to be non-monogamous or even that non-monogamy is better or more evolved than monogamy or any other relations... more

  • Awesome hosts and awesome guests

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a couple of weeks, started at episode 1.

    The information and resources provided by the hosts and guests are so valuable in learning about non-monogamy and other lifestyles such as poly and swingers.

    I’m fairly new to this whole open poly relationships but I have really embraced using the resources and learning about the lifestyle.

    Just can’t stand to listen to interviews with “up talkers”. Right up there with using “like” constantly.

  • Humble Pioneers of Truth

    Thank you Emma and Fin for creating and facilitating this wonderful podcast community. I have been listening for 3 years now, and when I first started listening, I was just beginning to explore solo polyamory, feeling really intimidated and alone (strangely enough)…

    3 years later I can say I have learned so much from hearing people’s stories- everyone is truly so different and beautiful.. and I have felt very encouraged to grow and flow with love because of this podcast. I feel like just listen... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 463 - Kiki
Q: What were some of the things that you were learning about yourself at that time that maybe have smoothed out?
Kiki says guilt, fear of losing partners and difficulty voicing her needs contributed to murky communication and occasional white lies. She has since become more confident setting boundaries and having clear conversations, helped in part by her husband's previous experience with polyamory.
Ep 463 - Kiki
Q: Is there some piece of it that is erotic, and is it also an erotic thing when your partner cheats on you?
Kiki says the intensity of cheating is connected to taboo, novelty and an altered state of arousal. Roleplay, fantasy and other forms of consensual exploration can recreate some of that intensity without betrayal. In real life, a partner's betrayal feels painful rather than arousing, though it may later influence fantasy.
Ep 462 - Liz
Q: How have you found the ability to land in the excitement of a new relationship without rushing into major commitments?
Powell treats fantasies as possibilities rather than plans, remembers that they are still getting to know the person, and checks in over time about what they actually want. They also maintain friendships, hobbies, and a full life outside dating.
Ep 462 - Liz
Q: How do you build relationships within community without ruining your community, and what happens when it is time to make a change?
Powell recommends stating wants, needs, and boundaries clearly, addressing concerns early, and ending relationships before resentment accumulates. They distinguish ordinary incompatibility from serious harm and encourage avoiding unnecessary social exclusion after a breakup.
Ep 461 - Rainy + Paco: Round 2
Q: How have your relationship goals evolved since you first talked to Rainy and Paco years ago?
We've moved toward a hybrid, label-light approach that emphasizes ethical non-monogamy, clear communication, and personal autonomy, while maintaining deep friendship as the foundation for any potential intimacy.
