Hey all, our book list and podcasts haven't been formally updated in about 5 yrs, and we all kow there's been a lot of great resources created since then. Please feel free to add recommendations - be sure to include Title, Author, Edition (if applicable), and a brief summary of the book or podcast being recommended.

Here's what we've got so far:

Love in Abundance by Kathy Labriola -- it's similar to The Ethical Slut in that it's like a polyam 101 book but it's easier to read and digest for many folks

The Polyamory Breakup Book by Kathy Labriola - focuses on common reasons why breakups happen (in mono and polyam relationships) and how to recognize and work through those issues

The Smart Girl's Guide to Polyamory by Dedeker Winston (cohost of Multiamory podcast) - it's not just for women and is from a solo/ra perspective

Stepping Off the Relationship Escalator by Amy Gahran -- like a how to guide for solo polyamory and nob conventional relationships that don't ascribe to the relationship escalator

PolySecure by Jessica Fern – all about relationship attachment style and trauma and creating healthy connections.

The Jealousy Workbook by Kathy Labriola – interactive exercises to gain insight and work through your jealousy

More Than Two, Second Edition: Cultivating Nonmonogamous Relationships with Kindness and Integrity by Eve Rickert and Andrea Zanin - an updated and revised edition of the original More than Two* which has a focus on non monogamous relationships written from a queer perspective with added chapters on abuse and responsibility in relationships, it is also much more inclusive of ace/aro folks, as well as people who are solo poly or relationship anarchist.

*the older outdated version of MT2 written by Eve Rickert and a different co-author is no longer a recommended version of this book as it contains a lot of problematic content that has been used to justify poor treatment of partners and/or invalidate the harm done to non primary partners.

Podcasts:

Multiamory – more of a research based polyamory podcast

Polyamory Weekly* – longest running polyamory podcast, many years worth of listening

Probably Poly – an ethics based podcast with a focus on polyamory

Non monogamy help – a “dear abby” style relationship advice podcast.

*I've recently heard some comments that's the host has a problematic past; FV was a regular cohost, for a long time she had refused to use they/them pronouns for people on the reason that it's grammatically incorrect, and she misgendered and deadnamed a guest when talking about how she knew them previously. However, all of these incidents appear to be 10yrs so it's very possible they were based in ignorance, not malice.
