About LessThan83 Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Elisabeth and Kevin talk about how to live, love, and thrive in ethically non-monogamous relationships. We bring in people who's lives and experiences are different from our own and speak with them about what does and doesn't work for them as well.
We've both been polyamorous for over 10 years and helped lead educational organizations that facilitate discussion and social acceptance of polyamory and ethical non-monogamy. We've been friends for a long time and have always been able to talk and laugh about any topic.
