Have you ever been accused of taking things too literally? Has anyone ever told you that you have an overly strong sense of justice? Are you neurospicy? If you answered yes to that last one, I'm willing to bet you answered yes to at least one of the previous two questions as well. And the thing is? Same over here for both of us! Black and white, rigid thinking and having a strong moral code tend to be common traits for we neurospicy folks...and lets be real - its usually true on both counts. But as with most things when it comes to neurodiversity, there's also far more nuance than the majority of people realize. Today, we decided to sit down and explore some of that nuance with you, our dearest listeners!

So if that sounds like your cup of tea (or coffee...or redbull...or weed - we aren't judging), then put those headphones on, lay back, click play, and join us on another random, rambling episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast.

Happy Halloween to all of you out there in interwebs land! For this episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast, we had a chance to record in person, and even bring in a guest star - Becca's partner (and my platonic metamour I suppose...what with the whole 'Platonic Life Partner' thing :P ) Gigantor! The three of us were finally in the same room together recently, and decided to take the opportunity to record our Halloween episode! It's a rambling episode with no real topic, but we did end up having some great discussions all the same. We also had a TON of fun in the process!

So if that sounds like your cup of tea, put those headphones on, lay back, click play, and enjoy as we take you on a spoopy, neurospicy train ride!

That's right folks! It's yet again ADHD Awareness Month, and in what has to be the most appropriate turn of fate ever, we almost forgot to do this one. Because of course we did!

...ahem! Anyway! Despite our initial near-miss, we nevertheless pulled ourselves into semi-functional states long enough to put together an episode all about our own struggles, triumphs, and reflections on life as ADHD humans. So if that sounds like your cup of tea, put those headphones on, click play, sit back, and relax as we take you on a long, meandering journey through ADHD land! We promise not to get lost...much...along the way. ;)

Hey all! And welcome back to another episode (and another season!) of the Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! Becca and I each had a very difficult summer, though also a very memorable one, and we'd love it if you join us while we recap our trials and tribulations! Along the way we do our usual rambling, meandering thing - going from relationship configurations to trauma responses, and everything in between!

So if that sounds like your idea of a good time, please click play, put those headphones on, and hang out with us as we kick off our THIRD season of this little podcast of ours.

...seriously - who gave us a third season again??

NOTE: In our excitement to plug our new friends Laura and Alex and their kink-related business Alex Deviant Creations, we made a booboo. They don't in fact sell floggers, but their paddles, Dickasauruses, and other creations are all wonderful and you should check them out! Especially the Dickasauruses, but then I'm biased towards anything with Yoshi legs, so your mileage may vary.

...also, the astute out there may catch that this episode's title is itself a reference to Star Trek (specifically Star Trek Voyager: Season 4, eps 8 and 9 - Year of Hell...which is one of my favourite two parter episodes of all time). So to Becca I say - HAH! THAT'S THREE FOR THREE IN THE PILOT OF SEASON THREE! It's Star Trek Inception! XD

Aaaaaannnddd that's a wrap! Welcome everyone, to the season 2 finale of the Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast, and thank you for sticking with us every step of the way. In this very special episode, we take a minute to reflect back on our journeys, both as humans and with this podcast, and to honour the amazing people and turning points in life that have made us who we are. Because in the words of Ensign Harry Kim from Star Trek: Voyager (see Becca? I can sneak Star Trek references into our show notes too! :P), "Maybe its not the destination that matters. Maybe its the journey. And if that journey takes a little bit longer so that we do something we all believe in, then I can't think of any people I'd rather be with."

...Thank you to each of you who has listened and subscribed to us over the almost two years we've been doing this. You've allowed us to do something we really believe in, and to really make a difference in our small corner of the internet. For that, words can't describe how grateful we are.

Enjoy your summer, and we look forward to you joining us for season 3 in September! Onwards and upwards!

...Oh, and by the way - I mentioned in this episode that Sudbury Graphic Con is in roughly a month because as of the time of recording this episode, it was. Now, it's actually a week and a half away. If you're in Sudbury, Ontario that weekend, please join me on June 24 at the Sudbury Arena for that! Alternatively, Midnight at Dawn Kink Expo will be the weekend of August 19 2023. We hope to see you at one or both! :)

Hey all! In this very special (and penultimate) season 2 episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast, we explore Becca's unique experiences as someone who lacks the ability to see images and hear voices in her head. Aphantasia is a fascinating and unique form of neurodivergence that is more common than many people realize, and we felt it was important to highlight it here on our show. After all, Neurodiversity is beautiful in all its forms!

So if that sounds like a topic you might be interested in, put those headphones on, grab some water, relax, and click play. We promise to be both entertaining AND informative as always!

**TRIGGER WARNING: Mention of Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month, Ableism, etc.**

Hey all! Happy Autism Acceptance Month! In honour of this...shall we say...difficult month for neurospicy humans, we've decided to put together a very special episode all about our own journeys towards self-acceptance. Because this month is a hard enough time of the year - what with all the ableism and well-meaning condescension - that we figured sharing our own stories might help you lovely humans out there in internet land realize that you're not in this alone. We stand in solidarity, always.

So if that sounds like it might be right up your alley, then put those headphones on, lay back, and press play. We're totally quackers for this episode, and we hope you will be too!

...and to the neurotypical allies in the audience, remember - don't light it up blue, go red or gold instead, and most importantly: LISTEN TO AND ELEVATE AUTISTIC/NEURODIVERGENT VOICES ALWAYS. We love you.

Hey all! Isn't it funny how there's a societal expectation that we must dislike our partners? Strange, huh? In this week's episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast, we talk all about how the media seems to love to perpetuate the idea that disliking one's partner (or partners) is normal, and that its somehow the ones who don't who are the weird ones. Please note - we aren't talking about toxic relationships when we address these things; we know and understand quite well that in those kinds of situations, things are far more complicated. We are instead focusing on the media and popular culture obsession with romantic partners just casually bashing each other, and how such things CAN actually lead to toxicity and abuse.

If that sounds like it would be up your alley, then put those headphones on, click play, and enjoy! We're always happy to see you back with us for more. :)

Hey all! We're super sorry for the impromptu one month hiatus, but both of us ended up being hit with quite a bit of life stuff at the same time, and as a result we're each feeling a little burned out. Now that we're through the worst of it though, we figured it would be a great opportunity to revisit the topic of burnout. Specifically, we wanted to put out an episode that talks all about the nerdy things we love and turn to when we're feeling the spoon drain, hyperfixate on them a little, and info dump about them in the process. It's a rather aimless episode, but one that we had a ton of fun doing and we hope you enjoy listening to it too!

So if that sounds like your kind of good time, then sit back, relax, put your headphones on, click the play button...and join us as we dive head first into our latest bout of burnout-related hyperfixations.

Because we're back baby! ...at least until the next round of burnout hits, that is. 

Hey all! And welcome back to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! In this episode, we talk all about how our favourite shows, movies, and books could all be made better by better representing queerness, neurodivergence, and ethical nonmonogamy within them. After all, one of the best ways to make sure people don't feel alone in this world is by representing all kinds of different humans and human relationships in our popular culture (and that is a hill both of us will always die on!). 

So if that sounds like your kind of episode, then lean back, put those headphones on, click play, and get ready to join us on another long-winded ramble as we explore all of this together. :)

...Oh! And before I forget - we're sorry if the audio is a little weird on this one. We tried our best, but Adam's mic just wasn't having it for some reason. :P
