    WELL LOOK WHO DECIDED TO SHOW UP TO WORK.

    DOD211: Throuple to Couple to Throuple
    Jun 20 2025

    Tom continues to be a failure as a podcast host and father, so the non-monogamous dads of the group decided it was the perfect time to answer a couple of listener questions about polyamory. And it wouldn't be a proper poly episode without taking this Couple to a Throuple: Lydia's here, too!

I'm actually a patron of this show because patreon benefits rule and I love the extra stories and bonus content. I'm not a father, not a parent of any kind. But I love this show because it helps me put my own father into better perspective and learn about the new parental values of today. This show is extremely funny, touching, and relatable. Highly recommended.

I love this podcast. Having become a step dad in my late 30's after spending most of my life never thinking I'd have the responsibility of parenting I never thought I'd need to know these things, but now that I am I was lost at it. These fellows have helped alot in righting that ship.

I'm not a dad but I found what they talk about very insightful and maybe one day I will use what I learned to be a great father
