Some say it's risky to listen to our polyamory podcast because you might contract a case of weird takes. On this episode: musician and activist Ryan Cassata shreds hard into the studio — dishing on the L.A. scene on "My Own Poly Idaho," playing TWO original songs, and asking "Is This Poly?!" of Mika's "It's My House," and Dodie's "In the Middle." And because we're generous lovers, we cap off the night with an "Ask the Amateurs" about spiritual, nature-minded straight men in mountain towns. You k...
