In their own words

Every relationship is as unique as you are. Relationship Diversity Podcast aims to celebrate, question, and explore all aspects of relationships and relationship structure diversity. Together, we’ll bust through societal programming to break open and dissect everything we thought we knew about relationships. We’ll ask challenging and transformational questions, like: Who am I? What do I really want in my relationships? Am I in this relationship structure because it’s all I know or is it really the fullest expression of who I am? Being curious, having courage to look within, and asking these important questions creates the space...

Based on 6 episodes we listened to · September 2026

It turns relationship labels into concrete questions about consent and the freedom to revise intimate agreements.

Relationship Diversity Podcast treats relationship structure as something people can define rather than inherit. Keri Jaroslow uses guest interviews to move among monogamy, polyamory, swinging, ambiamory, and novogamy while keeping attention on the agreements beneath those…

Best episodes of Relationship Diversity Podcast

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Season 2 | Episode 9: Is this goodbye?

A reflective finale about curiosity, self-examination, and the work of changing how one sees relationships.

The Relationship Diversity Podcast closes its second season by returning to its core concern: how people think about relationship structure, and what Keri Jaroslow wants for herself.

Season 2 | Ep. 3: Is It Possible to Open Up Without Blowing Up? With Ally Iseman

A calm case for choosing relationship agreements over inherited defaults.

The episode argues for treating relationship structure as a set of agreements rather than inherited defaults, and that framing gives it a clear edge: when only one script is allowed, a mismatch can start to feel like failure instead of a simple mismatch.

Ep. 118: Let’s Be Real with Our Relationship Experiences - Wisdom from Evita Lavitaloca Sawyers

A calm, practical conversation about emotion, shame, and relationship change, grounded in lived experience.

Relationship Diversity Podcast treats this conversation as a steady look at a simple but demanding idea: feelings are part of being human, and shame can ease when emotions are no longer sorted into good or bad.
