This hour, host Connor Cyrus talks with Vermonters about nontraditional, non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships.

Did Disney lie to us when it promoted one true love? Less than five percent of the approximately 4,000 mammal species practice monogamy, .

This hour, we’re exploring ethical nontraditional relationships—everything from platonic life partners to polyamory. Some Vermonters say non-monogamous relationships are becoming more common, but there is still a pretty big stigma in many social circles.

Host Connor Cyrus will talk with a non-monogamous Vermont couple and a relationship therapist to discuss communication, boundaries and what it takes to have healthy relationships.

Our guests are:

  • Frank Miranda and Peter Crane, non-monogamous Vermont couple
  • Katie Hoar, licensed clinical social worker,  in Waterbury

Broadcast live at noon on Friday, Oct. 7, 2022.
