Content Warning: Mention of Suicide 

Wabi Sabi! The Japanese concept of the beauty of our imperfections. We spend time chatting with new co-host, Liz, about their art, the convulsive nature of beauty, how "Dinosaurs" introduced them to the idea of polyamory, and a lot of poop. 

Also in this episode, Kimmy candidly discusses her battle with cancer, we all share thoughts on mental health, the failings of our medical system, capitalism, and... damn it... poop again.

Balls are also on the table. We're absolutely very mature podcasters and we love you very much.

New co-hosts, Kimmy & Liz, join Chastain on the Pod Pod Cvlt Cast! This week we meet Kimmy and how, as Gen Xer, her life is exploding, and why she thinks no one wants to hear about it. Liz nerds out about astrological things and tells us not to answer those texts from exes. We all get a little emotional about how much we value our friendship. Early-childhood consent, Herpes, ADHD, and Bipolar Disorder... what more could you ask?

We’re taking a mental health break, so enjoy our second episode. This Catch Vp Ep focuses on Chastain, our producer and a host, and a life and relationship coach. Chastain is an adult living with Autism who shares the benefits of learning how to set personal boundaries in polyamorous and swinging situations. Content warning: Chastain is very candid about sex addiction, sexual and emotional abuse, and being the child of an alcoholic.

This episode provides a fly-on-the-wall look at an open marriage between two people who have made mistakes, hurt one another, and come through the other side.

This was Ep#28. There are two things missing from conversations about toxic masculinity and body positivity: positive masculinity and penis appreciation. Hello, we're the Pod Pod Cvlt Cast and we're here to talk to you about dicks, pics, consent, getting naked at parties, and comparison culture. This CatchVp (catch up) episode is to give us a regrouping break for our head and heart space. It's fully disclosed at the top of the episode. Love to all.

We also answer Patron questions from Patreon.com/PodPodCvltCast! Find out how the Pod feels about podcasting. We share the most common questions we get about BDSM and our opinion on the best representation of polyamory in media. 

Content warning: Penis! Max and Erik are very candid about their relationships with their bodies and food.

Some people are far away from one another and sometimes they want to get sexy or feel close or something. We started with the intention to give tips for "doing it" long-distance style, but we discovered that the true meaning of long-distance sexy times... is friendship. If you're into awkward pauses, this episode is for you!

We also delve into the fast-paced world of Doggy Law; help Hannah decide if she wants to become an ant (you read that correctly); and establish that Erik's primary love language is meat.

We don't know about you, but we needed to do something SILLY to break the tension of this whole Pandemic thing. We played a Cards Against Humanity inspired game called Remote Insensitivity together online.

Content warning: this game is intentionally offensive and we do our best to keep within our core values as humanists and feminists. We also just rolled around in some dark humor for a while because it felt indulgent. 

For a link to the game we played, references made during the episode, show credits, and more go to PodPodCvltCast.com

The Pod crashes an isolation date; gives updates on Pandemic Projects and self care; Chastain shares her experience attending an online sex toy party; and we dive deep into assumptions about topping, bottoming, dominance, and submission.

Why do we consider some sexual positions, acts, and forms of play to be dominant or submissive as a society? We discuss the differences between topping and bottoming, and dominance and submission... and try to reframe them for ourselves, and you.

The Pod talks about how they're doing and gives tips for dating and romance in the time of Covid-19, the novel corona virus. Chastain shares some Podfest Media Expo 2020 adventures and gives shout outs to the people who got her there, helped her while she was there, and made her time there awesome.

FYI: This episode was delayed to make sure included current Covid-19 information at the time of release. Things changed quickly since we recorded this last Tuesday night. We wanted to get this episode out to you as soon as possible, but show notes and the transcript are delayed. We've had some changes since recording, and Erik will be recording with Hannah, Max, and Chastain remotely moving forward. We're working to make that a smooth process. We're all pretty stressed and bummed we can't see our friend, and Chastain's partner. We know we aren't alone in that experience. Our hearts go out to our listeners. We love you. We're going to be okay and get through this.

Policing harm in the polyamory and BDSM communities can be challenging. When consent is violated, when people are assaulted, when people commit assault... we often shy away from victim and perpetrator. In A.V. Flox's important first book, Disrupting the Bystander: When #metoo Happens Among Friends, we learn that we should do the opposite. We should surround people who have been harmed and people who harm with our human spirit to help them find space to heal.

In this episode we discuss the book and the process of care it outlines for ourselves, for those harmed, and yes, for those who have harmed others. 

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of assault, rape, bad actors, and how unsafe we really are in our "communities" without having each other's back.
