On this episode: Elizabeth sits down with Jess Daylover and her metamour, Ash, of the Remodeled Love podcast, to talk all things polyamory and parenting. There are a lot of misconceptions out there about what polyamory is and isn’t — so we think you’ll love hearing about how it works as a parenting co-op.

We’ll also share a round of recommendations — and then, for Slate Plus, Jess and Ash stick around for a round of parenting yeas and nays.

Elizabeth recommends: Reusable Water Balloons

Zak recommends: Kasey Musgraves’ song, The Architect

Lucy recommends: Grow some stuff in your garden!
