It’s a polyamory podcast with jokes or songs. Or is it a comedy podcast where the hosts just happen to be romantic partners? Whether you’re poly, ENM, a swinger, or a monogamous person who wants to live vicariously, PolyAmateur Hour can offer questionable relationship advice, endless pop-culture rabbit holes, and sex tips that are actually practical jokes. Nichole, Laurel, and Daniel are a real life polycule (don’t stare!) but they aren’t a throuple — and they are here to teach you the difference. But this is a variety show — for people who love variety — and that means that every episode offers a different lineup of equally pointless segments.
