The podcast for libertarians in love! Jay and Liz aren't stereotypical poly people.

Join two unapologetic lovers of liberty, Liz and Jay, as they discuss the philosophical overlap between freedom in relationships and freedom in society. We both identify as libertarian, and while we are libertarian for many of the same reasons we're polyamorous, we often don't feel represented by the loudest or most prominent voices in the poly community. As such, our goal is to dispel stereotypes

, broaden understanding of what it means to be non-monogamous, and reach out to other poly people who, like us, don't quite fit the mold.

NOW LIVE! Episode 7. Is Poly Even Worth The Hassle?

In this episode, Liz and Jay discuss the pros and cons of the polyamorous lifestyle, to include the following:

Cons:
> Stigma, discrimination, risks to employment and parenthood
> The difficult work of deprogramming learned behavior and mindset related to ownership
> The equally difficult work of inventing your own relationship structures from scratch
> Legal issues surrounding things like marriage, power of attorney, cant have all partners visit in hospital (say)
> More variables in basically every decision made, generally more complicated navigating the needs / boundaries of 3+ people instead of just two

Pros:
> Unparalleled personal autonomy for all parties involved
> Freedom to hand-tailor relationships to meet specific needs, preferences, and circumstances
> A much wider variety of unique partners
> No need to put too "weight" on any one person, or having too much "weight" placed by anyone else, to be the sole provider of needs and relational happiness
> Opportunity to breathe new life into stagnating relationships
