In this episode I’m joined by the lovely and insightful Reanar and Sarah to discuss ethical non monogamy and polyamory, using my recent essay as a jumping off point. Warning that this discussion is a little NSFW, also I am unnecessarily mean to balding men in their early 30s about 15 minutes in? I can only apologise, boys.

Reanar’s substack is here, and if you’re listening to this before April 15th you can grab tickets for Sarah (aka DJ Baby Guinness) & friends at Corsica right here.
