I guess this is going to be an ongoing random series, me talking about my poly life (or lack there of). 1) Pedestrian Polyamory So I now am listening to yet another polyamory podcast. This one came as recommendation from a friend and I am loving it. The podcast is called Pedestrian Polyamory. Our hosts […]
