In this episode Abby brings a graphic novel called Open Earth to the table, and with it, a chance to rant semi-coherently about non-monogamy. Is polyamory a radical sex uptopia or really a lot of talking and shared calendars?

We’re talking hierarchies and anarchy, jealousy and boundaries, while asking some big questions like, if you left Earth (fair enough it’s a shit show), how would you reshape society’s rules around relationships? Would platonic be just as important as romantic? Would you be monogamous if it wasn’t the norm?! And would you have a threesome while also eating a hamburger?
