PolyAmateur Hour
The messiest, most chaos-muppety, funniest polyamory podcast on the block. Constant digressions! Wild stories! Musical interludes! Savage takedowns of dumb reality shows! Whether you’re polyamorous, consensually non-monogamous, a swinger, or a curious monogamous person, PolyAmateur Hour can offer questionable relationship advice, dadaist life-coaching, and sex tips that are actually practical jokes. Nichole, Laurel, and Daniel are a real life polycule (don’t stare!) but they aren’t a throuple — and they are here to teach you the difference. But this is a variety show — for people who love variety — and that means that every episode offers a different lineup of equally pointless segments. ”Is This Poly?” reviews polyamorish moments in pop culture, including Star Trek, Janelle Monae, and that Wonder Woman triad movie. ”Unicorn Hunter-Hunters” rates the profiles of hopeful unicorn hunters, sometimes kindly. ”Ask the Amateurs” features a small amount of relationship advice and a large amount of talk about Muppets, bandit museums, ’60s cults, and Jewish cooking. There are a lot more — but we like to surprise. Drop us anonymous question at PolyAmateurHour.com Reach out to us directly at PolyAmateurHour@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @PolyAmateurHour
