Ep. 020 - Leanne Yau of Polyphilia - Redux
This week's eposide features a replay of one of our earliest interivews on The Convo - Leanne Yau of Polyphilia. Leanne is consistently someone who our guests tell us that they follow and pay attention to in the non-monogamy space, and we wanted to feature this conversation to more listeners. We released this originally as our second podcast ever, so we're pretty sure some of you more recent listeners haven't already heard this. (We also have learned a few things about audio engineering in the past year and change, so this version likely sounds better too, just in case had any concerns. ;) ) MIX Nashville is still running its funding drive; learn more about joining our Founder's Club by visiting - and thank you in advance for your support. Do you have an idea for a podcast that would help educate and inform the non-monogamy community? If so, reach out to us at and let us know! We're also looking for more guests for Harvey to interview, so if you've got something interesting to say about the non-monogamy world and your place in it, give us a shout!

A show thats intended to be part discussion, part educational, part confessional and part scandal, Elle and Sara talk with Harvey about all sorts of things in the world of unicorns - so if you're an afficianado of unicorns (or just want to know how to find one in the wild), this episode is definitely one you won't want to miss.

Ep. 018 - Kevin Patterson
Harvey's really been looking forward to having this week's podcast guest on The Convo ever since he had the idea for the show; the author , who wrote the book . This book is an incredibly well written overview of the person experiences people of color have had in the non-monogamy community while also presenting good explainations and persuasive arguments on why inclusion in our community matters, and why it takes directed effort to make our communities inclusive to everyone, no matter their ethnicity. As we mentioned at the top of the show, we're currently having a funding drive for MIX Nashville - you can learn more about joining our Founder's Club drive (and the cool sticker we failed to mention when talking about it, but we promise, is worth donating for) by visiting - and thank you in advance for your support.

Ep. 015 - Jes Katz of PolyLabor
Hey hey hey - it's time for another episodes of The Convo! We're talking to this week, who's on to talk about how incredible work could be if maybe we treated work a little more like we treat relationships in the non-monogamy world. Jes talks about what a better work world we'd be in if people invited consent and encouraged communication and boundary-setting (doesn't that sound nice?), and what we in the non-monogamy world could actually do better if we put some business management principles to work in our personal relationships. Oh - and we are going to talk about a new collaboration between Jes and MIX Nashville in the coming weeks, so make sure you listen through to the end to find out what exciting things are coming up with that! We're still looking for new podcast ideas - and if you have an idea for a podcast that you think would help educate and inform the non-monogamy community, please reach out to us at and let us know!

Originally recorded June 4, 2025 We're talking metas this month with our panelists, which include Nick and Millie from the wildly-popular content creators of Decolonizing Love! We were so thrilled to have each of them give us their takes on your questions about how to deal with metas that don't want to meet you, metas you can't stand and don't know how to interact with, whether someone is being coercive or manipulative about having you begin a friendship with a common partner, and a whole bunch more meta talk (incluidng a couple of minutes of meta talk about talking about metas.)

Episode 018 - Neurodivergence & Non-Monogamy
Originally recorded May 10, 2025 This month's Panel focuses on those of us - a lot of us - who maybe don't see the world exactly the same as the "average" person does (whatever that means). The umbrealla of "neurodivergence" is quite large and encompasses many different types of neurological variances, and with the help of our guest expert Mal (a licensed behavioral analyst with 20 years experience helping the neurodivergent population) and our other panelists Diana, Vex and Jes/Arana, we take on listener questions like how neurodivergence helps (and sometimes hinders) non-monogamy, what rejection sensitivity is and how it might manifest in others, and how to approach the topic of neurodivergence with a partner who may or may not be neurodivergent themselves (and might not even be aware of it). We really had a great time recording this episode, and we hope y'all find it as helpful and educational as we did making it, no matter if you're someone who marchest to their own drummer, or just someone who loves someone who does everything their own way. Oh - one more thing; we're doing an episode on meta relationships soon (as well as some other topics) - if you have some questions you'd like answered on a future show, head over to the annoymouts form on our website ( and send them in to us! :D Your questions literally are what makes our show happen - and we really appreciate every single one you send in - and if you really want to be our best friend, leave us a review wherever you're listening to this?

Ep. 011 - The Convo - Rob of Red Room
Hello and welcome back to The Convo - this month, we're talking to Rob, one of the owners of , a swing club located in the Metro Nashville area. Rob was a great conversational partner - we cover a lot of topics about swing clubs that we think people who are "on the fence" about making their first trip out will enjoy, from what to expect your first time out, who exactly goes to swing clubs, what to do if you run into someone you know from your "vanilla" connections (e.g. work, social groups, etc.), and the benefits of going to a swing club with your significant other - even if all you do is watch from the sidelines. We really appreciate Rob taking the time to talk to us, and if you're considering taking the dive and going out to your local swing club, we hope this helps calm your nerves enough to make the leap and see what its all about! Thanks again for listening - we appreciate everyone who continues to tune in to our podcasts! If you're enjoying The Convo (or any of our other podcasts), please do us a favor and leave us a review or comment on Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify (it really helps us improve our rankings and increaase our audience), and, as always, please tell your friends to give us a listen!

Welcome to another episode of The Convo! This month, our guests are Doug & Telisha Williams of the band . Doug & Telisha, who are based in Nashville, were so gracious to talk to us about their lives as musicians and as members of the non-monogamy community. Their most recent album, , focuses on exploring what exists beyond the traditional nuclear family, and details the joys and heartbreaks they’ve experienced as part of a queer, polyamorous family undergoing fertility treatments and becoming foster parents in the state of Tennessee. I had an absolute blast talking to them both about things like how being non-monogamous has affected their careers, what inspired the lyrics for the album's title track, and a few other fun topics that we hope you enjoy.

Accompanied by our other panelists Diana, D and Roxi, our panelists take on questions about how to equitabily divide the costs of travel, how to be a gracious meta while your partner's long-distance partner is in town, and how to know if its time to bring that long-distance partner a little closer to you (or to move a little closer to them!)

Originally recorded February 5, 2025 Hello, hello, hello from the new recording studios for MIX Nashville! As we said in our last release, we're going to be recording The Panel from a set location moving forward; not only does it save us on having to move our equipment to record in a location where people can attend, but it should allow us to have on more guests like the one we have this month, Sonia Lehner! Sonia is the founder of The Obsidian Advocacy Project, which does work focusing on bridging the gap between healthcare providers and those of us in alternative lifestyles. Our Panelists Sara, Sam and Harvey talk to Sonia about topics such as how to find healthcare providers who are accepting of those practicing non-monogamous lifestyles and what you can do if you feel you've been discriminated against because of your partners. Add a dash of irreverence and storytelling, and you've got what we think is a really informative and interesting episode of The Panel!

This month's guest is Olivia Hill, a trans woman and activist who also became the first trans person to be elected to public office in the State of Tennessee, which she accomplished with her election as an At-Large Councilperson for Metro Nashville in 2023.

Ep. 005 - The Convo - Brett Chamberlin of OPEN
This month’s guest is Brett Chamberlin, the founder and current executive director of the Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non Monogamy, or OPEN. () OPEN states in their mission as being dedicated "to normalizing and empowering non-monogamous individuals, relationships, and communities.

This is a bonus-length episode! OPEN is doing some amazing work on behalf of our community at large, and our conversation touches topics like how OPEN is creating change in cities around the United States, increasing the visibility of all cultures and ethnicities in non-monogamy, non-monogamy's portrayal in popular culture, and how we in the community can work to secure rights and protections for all of us now and in the future.

Episode 010 - Parenting While Non-Monogamous!

Episode 010 - Parenting While Non-Monogamous!
Originally taped August 20, 2024 This month is all about how people parent while being non-monogamous - instead of having a guest expert, all of the panelists (other than childless-by-choice Harvey) are parents who are actively in the middle of raising children while also being in our community. They answer some pretty great questions - from how you handle discipline with multiple partners, to comeing out to your kids and extended family, these panelists aren't holding back as they share their experiences and (hopefully) help you feel better about some of your own struggles and concerns. We have eight people on the mics this time, so lots of perspectives - hope you enjoy! Our next recording is our next episode of The Blender - come out to The Mark on October 21st, 2024 and experience the show live! The Blender is a more "in the moment" type of community roundtable where every question we answer is asked by someone attending the recording that evening - so if you have something on your mind you need help with, come out and ask us! Tickets are $10 at the door - ! And if you have questions you'd like answered on a future show, you can ask them (as well as anything else on your mind) using our anonymous online form () - we live for your questions! :D

Ep. 004 - The Convo - Evita "LaVitaLoca" Sawyers
This month's guest is Evita "LaVitaLoca" Sawyers, author of "A Polyamory Devotional: 365 Daily Reflections for the Consensually Nonmonogamous" (available ) and a content creator active on Instagram () and TikTok (). Evita and I had a great and wide ranging conversation about how not everyone has a great experience at the start of their journey to non-monogamy (and why that can be a good thing), why comparison doesn't always have to be the thief of joy, as well as how the non-monogamy community can make itself more welcoming to people of minority cultures and backgrounds.

Ep. 003 - The Convo - Tom Brand of Discovering Polyamory
This month's guest is Tom Brand, who creates content under the name Discovery Polyamory on Instagram () and their website (). The content of Discoverying Polyamory, as the name might suggest, focuses on the crucial time period we all go through when we're just starting to explore whether non-mongamy is the right choice for someone. We discuss the concept of green flags, why lying to your date about being polyamorous (or, some would argue, just not being fully transparent about your non-monogamy) is a bad idea, and why having good information available and easy to find out there is good for our community as a whole. As always, thanks for subscribing! Let us know who you'd like us to interview next by sending us suggestions to our email - admin@mixnash.com!
