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

Hey all! And welcome to our first ever New Years episode of the Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! In this special episode, we attempt to talk all about how new years resolutions don't actually work for neurospicy humans, and how to set goals that actually work WITH your neurodivergent brain instead of against it. I say 'attempt' though because as always, we lost control of the train of thought and just kind of chased the dopamine dragon for half an hour. Would you expect any different from us? 

So sit back, drink your water, take your meds, put your best noise-cancelling headphones on, and click play - we're thrilled you'll be ringing in 2023 right along side us! :D 

Happy Holidays dear listeners! And welcome to our first ever holiday special! In this episode, we talk all about what its like to navigate family get togethers as queer, polyam humans, how to survive said get togethers when conservative family members are involved, and why polycules, partners, and chosen family can be the connective threads that make the holidays (whichever you celebrate) even more special. We also cap it off with a brief exploration of our own found family dynamics (and gush about them a lot in the process). All in all, we had a ton of fun with this one and we're excited for you to join us on this journey!

If that sounds like its up your alley then put those headphones on, drink some water, take your meds, and press play. We're grateful you're here!

And again, a happy festive season to all of you out there in interwebs land! 

Hey all, and welcome back to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist! In this episode, Adam gets vulnerable and shares how, when he was diagnosed as Autistic in the '90s, his parents were told that he'd never be able to fall in love or form meaningful social relationships. We then dissect the crap out of that comment and argue instead that while those words may hold true from a neurotypical perspective, they neglect to take into account all the myriad wonderful ways that neurodivergent humans do relationships differently. Neurodivergents gonna neurodiverge, if you will, and that's both okay and beautiful!

So if this sounds like your kind of episode, then sit back, put those headphones on, click play, and come with us on another neurodivergent journey through relationship land. We promise we'll be here for you every step of the way!

...and by the way - if you want to attend Adam's virtual talk on the importance of listening to neurodivergent stories at Burlington Literary Festival this year (its coming up this weekend!) be sure to click the link below and RSVP! The event is free and spots are going fast!

**Trigger Warning - Body Image/Diet Culture Content Ahead!**

Hey all! And welcome to a very exciting episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! This week, we have special guest host Ramsay Alexander on the show. Ramsay is a queer, neurodivergent life coach who has worked predominantly with youth and specializes in combatting fatphobia and diet culture in our society. As two people with our own journeys in the world of body positivity and self love, we were thrilled to have Ramsay join us and offer their insights. 

...and also? With all three of us being neurodivergent, hilarity and laughs were sure to ensue! (And they did!)

So if this sounds like a topic that interests you, lean back, put those headphones on, and click play. Because we're really proud of this one and are excited to bring it to all of you! And if you're looking to check Ramsay and their work out on social media, they can be found at their Facebook page 'Outside The Box Support Services' or by email directly at '[email protected].'

Enjoy!

Hey all! And welcome back to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist Podcast! In this episode, we look at hierarchies as they apply to relationships of all kinds - platonic, romantic, polyam, and mono. The prevailing wisdom in the polyam community after all is that hierarchies are bad, and while we're certainly not generally fans of them ourselves, we have both also found many moments in our own lives where the reality hasn't been quite so black and white. As such, we wanted to explore this from a more nuanced perspective!

So if that sounds like something that interests you, sit back, put your headphones on, relax, and click the 'Play' button! And thank you for joining us on yet another long, meandering, hour-long diatribe. We love you for it!

Hey all! It's me Adam, and I'm coming at you solo this week since Becca had some life shenanigans to work through. It's alright though - it gave me the perfect opportunity to rant and ramble at you all a little bit about my new tattoo, why firsts are a big deal, and why its important to have the courage to push through fear in order to try new things, have new experiences, and ultimately live the life you want to live! Can you tell I went a little deep on this one? 

So if that sounds like your jam, put those headphones on, click play, and enjoy this solo diatribe! If not, don't worry - Becca and I will be back to our regularly scheduled banter next time with an episode all about hierarchy in polyam and mono relationships. We hope you'll join us for that one as we're really excited to share it with you!

Welcome to Season 2! This is our first episode of our second season, and in it we go completely off-script, tackling everything from representation to LGBTQ and neurodiversity issues and everything else under the sun! Did you really expect any less from us at this point? 

If that all sounds like a good time to you, relax, sit back, click play, and enjoy! And thanks for coming back to hang out with us for a whole new season of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist. We really appreciate you being here. :)

Chosen family is a trope you see everywhere these days: in books, TV shows, movies, and video games. It's also a concept that is near and dear to the hearts of many marginalized communities - especially the LGBTQ alphabet mafia. But what is chosen family? How does it relate to the more traditional concept of biological family? On today's episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist, we explore that and figure it all out!

Hey all! Happy Pride Month to all of our spicies out there in interweb land! In this episode (the first of our summer release schedule), we talk all about Pride, the importance of it, and how while awesome parties and celebrations are great, its far more vital to remember how LGBTQIA+ Pride can and literally HAS both changed and saved lives. 

...also...y'know...Pride was a Riot, ACAB, and all that good stuff! 

So sit back, relax, and come along with us as we mark this important celebration together. And if you're newly out, questioning, or inching ever closer, welcome to the alphabet mafia!
