2:10-3:15 Announcements: Yahoo and sluts
Yahoo’s podcast directory, at podcasts.yahoo.com, censors minx’s show descriptions!

writes in to ask about poly living arrangements; corrects minx’s previous comment about being “fully-clothed” during the scene with Janet Hardy; Brent N. writes in about poly ethics, religion and control and minx comments on personalized religions; an Australian listener discovers the term “polyamory” and frightens by mentioning Heinlein.

16:50-26:50 Topic: Dr. Ruth says there are no bisexuals!
Graydancer and minx discuss bisexuality, dualism and labels in some interesting (read: bad!) fake accents. Thanks to for bringing this to my attention and for writing such a delightfully snarky response to her “you’re either straight or gay” proclamation. Graydancer tells a military story and brings up resentment for by-choice bisexuals from some gay folks.

26:50-31:45 Topic: Poly in the media: HBO’s “Big Love”
What do we think of the upcoming 2006 sitcom, Big Love on HBO about a polygamous Mormon family? Here’s the article, and the CNN article on the upcoming show. Graydancer, being raised Mormon, throws in a few thoughts about the foundations of polygamy.

31:45-33:40 Announcements: Interview, sponsorships
minx’s interview is up on Polyamory Percolations site, and BTW, any sponsorship $$ goes to minx’s poly travel fund.

33:40-34:50 Wrap-up
Stay tuned for upcoming interviews with poly-friendly authors, and Graydancer and minx run off to have sex.
