    Episode 11 - Graeme - Monogamy, Polyamory and Queer Identity

    Episode 11 - Graeme - Monogamy, Polyamory and Queer Identity

    Graeme is a local DJ at CJAM radio, 99.1 FM in Windsor. His show Sylvio & Soul can be heard every Wednesday from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM. Graeme's story is different. He's in a monogamous relationship now. He did have a journey through polyamory over the last couple of years or so, and I wanted to talk to him about his experiences. Our conversation meandered through ideas about identity and sexuality. I talked with him at the CJAM studios in Windsor.

    Episode 10 - David - Natural Hierarchy and Opening Up in Berlin

    Episode 10 - David - Natural Hierarchy and Opening Up in Berlin

    David’s nesting partner, Charity, is an old friend of mine. (And one of the first guests on This Polyamorous Life.) I first got to meet David when I was on vacation in Dublin and he and Charity flew over from Germany to visit. I didn’t know him well and I was happy to get to know him better.
    This was a fun interview, and I learned more about David, like his opinion on the word “polysaturated.”

    Episode 9 - Juno - Build Community, Not Couples!

    Episode 9 - Juno - Build Community, Not Couples!

    Juno is a YouTuber, podcaster, and essayist, coming at ideas with a relationship anarchy point-of-view. Drawing from their experiences (and how they were treated) as a former sex worker, Juno levels some harsh criticism at the very concept of “the couple.” Uncompromising in their efforts for personal autonomy, Juno tells a story about the perils of falling into the default social hierarchies. I spoke with them last August at a park in Metro Detroit.

    Episode 8 - Brandi - Polyamory, Pansexuality and Pasta

    Brandi is my metamour-once-removed. She is dating the partner of my partner. She's become a constant presence at Windsor Polyamory events and we're happy to have her. We got to talking after this summer's Pride Parade and I asked her if she would be willing to do an interview. I spoke with her at her apartment in Windsor.
