Platonic Partner Podcast Platonic Partner Podcast

In this episode, we talk about finding our queer labels, considering diverse styles of polyamory, and exploring the role social expectations play in enforcing compulsory heteronormativity. Tiffany also joins us to challenge patriarchal ideas that can arise even within queer spaces.

In this episode, Bret consoles Nicole as she processes a break-up. We discuss the benefits of moving on from a relationship while appreciating the good memories, even when moving on isn’t what we want. Bret offers "the best advice you'll never take," and we reflect on the importance of prioritising friendship.

In this episode, Nicole talks with her first ever girlfriend about their break-up. We talk through old arguments, read break-up messages, and offer advice to anyone who wants to stay friends with their ex.

In this episode, Nicole and her first girlfriend talk about how they met, bonded over astrology, and started a not-so-casual long-distance lesbian relationship during the pandemic. We also talk about biphobia, genderqueer identities, and complain about academics.

When Nicole first started dating women, it was going to be a casual thing until she experienced romantic attraction for the first time. In this episode, we talk about dating other people, refusing to have a veto power, and discovering the term queer platonic partnership.

We got married before we discovered our queer identities, but we decided to shift our dynamic into a queer platonic partnership. In this episode, we talk about the social expectations and ideas we had about marriage, share our queer labels, and revisit our first conversations around polyamory.
