Most of us were given a cookie-cutter template for how to live, love, and succeed. Go to school. Find ‘the one.’ Get married. Build the life everyone expects. But what if you’ve outgrown that? What if you’re ready to live, love, and think a little differently, even if it makes you the odd one out? Together, we’re exploring what it means to be a cultural deviant. To question the systems, stories, and identities that shape us. From politics to pleasure, culture to connection, this is where taboo meets truth, and curiosity leads us to create lives and loves without a roadmap. If you’ve ever felt like the black sheep, the cycle-breaker, or just someone who doesn’t quite fit the cookie-cutter mould and you’re a cultural deviant like us, this podcast is for you.

    2. What Can We Learn from Ethical Sluts?

    What if the people society shames for wanting “too much” actually have something to teach us about honesty, boundaries, and self-trust? In this episode, Nyla and Cole unpack what ethical non-monogamy - and those who practice it - reveal about communication, desire, and emotional responsibility. This isn’t an argument for one relationship structure over another, but a bold look at what happens when we stop moralising desire and start relating with more clarity, care, and consent.

    1. Should We Be Romancing Our Friends?

    What if the most meaningful love in your life isn’t romantic at all? In this episode, Nyla and Cole question why romantic partnership sits at the centre of everything and what we lose when friendship is treated as secondary. From the loneliness epidemic to relationship anarchy and platonic soulmates, they explore what happens when we de-centre “the one” and start valuing the relationships that actually hold us. An invitation to rethink love, closeness, and what really sustains us over a lifetime.

    DEVIANTS: Trailer

    Dropping December 17!Should we romance our friends just like we do our significant others? What can we learn from so-called 'ethical sluts'? What if the sexiest things about us are the things we're terrified of? These are just a few of the questions Nyla and Cole tackle as they explore what it means to be a cultural deviant: to question the systems, the stories, and the identities that shape us, and to discover the challenges and rewards that come with going off-script.
