The Guilty Feminist

Polyamory in pop culture - with Leanne Yau aka Poly Philia

Warning: Some strong language 

Following on from Media Storm's episode about polyamory, the law, and the mainstream media, Media Storm co-hosts sat down with Leanne Yau from the hugely popular Poly Philia blog to discuss how non-monogamy is portrayed onscreen - looking at depictions of love triangles, Chandler's polyamorous lover in Friends, and reality TV shows like The Ultimatum. 

The episode is hosted by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia).
