MIX Nashville Presents - Full Show Feed

This week's eposide features a replay of one of our earliest interivews on The Convo - Leanne Yau of Polyphilia. Leanne is consistently someone who our guests tell us that they follow and pay attention to in the non-monogamy space, and we wanted to feature this conversation to more listeners. We released this originally as our second podcast ever, so we're pretty sure some of you more recent listeners haven't already heard this. (We also have learned a few things about audio engineering in the past year and change, so this version likely sounds better too, just in case had any concerns. ;) ) MIX Nashville is still running its funding drive; learn more about joining our Founder's Club by visiting www.mixnash.co/give - and thank you in advance for your support. Do you have an idea for a podcast that would help educate and inform the non-monogamy community? If so, reach out to us at [email protected] and let us know! We're also looking for more guests for Harvey to interview, so if you've got something interesting to say about the non-monogamy world and your place in it, give us a shout!

This week's eposide is the second of two episodes we've dedicated to spotlighting new podcasts that will be debuting this fall; we spoke to Jes about her new podcast, "Love, Amplified with Jes Katz" in Episode 15, and this week we're talking to Elle and Sara about their upcoming podcast, "Unicorn Confidential". A show thats intended to be part discussion, part educational, part confessional and part scandal, Elle and Sara talk with Harvey about all sorts of things in the world of unicorns - so if you're an afficianado of unicorns (or just want to know how to find one in the wild), this episode is definitely one you won't want to miss. Just a reminder - we at MIX Nashville currently have a  funding drive going on; you can learn more about joining our Founder's Club by visiting www.mixnash.co/give - and thank you in advance for your support.

Harvey's really been looking forward to having this week's podcast guest on The Convo ever since he had the idea for the show; the author Kevin Patterson, who wrote the book Love Is Not Colorblind. This book is an incredibly well written overview of the person experiences people of color have had in the non-monogamy community while also presenting good explainations and persuasive arguments on why inclusion in our community matters, and why it takes directed effort to make our communities inclusive to everyone, no matter their ethnicity.  As we mentioned at the top of the show, we're currently having a funding drive for MIX Nashville - you can learn more about joining our Founder's Club drive (and the cool sticker we failed to mention when talking about it, but we promise, is worth donating for) by visiting www.mixnash.co/give - and thank you in advance for your support.

Our guest this week is Emily April Allen, a photographer in Nashivlle who focuses her art on documenting the LGBTQIA+ community through portrature and photographing candid takes of participants at queer events. Emily is a supportive ally of the non-monogamy community, and is happy to take photos of your polyamorous wedding or commitment ceremony. Emily's website is full of photographs of joy and happiness in the queer community - do yourself a favor and check it out using this link; you won't be sad you did. :) Do you have an idea for a podcast that would help educate and inform the non-monogamy community?

This week we're getting a little meta on The Convo; our guest is Roxi Starbottom, who is Co-Director of MIX Nashville with Harvey. Roxi and Harvey team up to talk about MIX Nashville as an organization: who we are, what we're trying to do for the non-monogamy community, as well as some discussion of activities MIX offers in Nashville and online. You can find more information about the events discussed in this episode by visiting our website (https://www.mixnash.co) or joining our Discord server.

Hey hey hey - it's time for another episodes of The Convo! We're talking to Jes Katz of PolyLabor this week, who's on to talk about how incredible work could be if maybe we treated work a little more like we treat relationships in the non-monogamy world. Jes talks about what a better work world we'd be in if people invited consent and encouraged communication and boundary-setting (doesn't that sound nice?), and what we in the non-monogamy world could actually do better if we put some business management principles to work in our personal relationships. Oh - and we are going to talk about a new collaboration between Jes and MIX Nashville in the coming weeks, so make sure you listen through to the end to find out what exciting things are coming up with that! We're still looking for new podcast ideas - and if you have an idea for a podcast that you think would help educate and inform the non-monogamy community, please reach out to us at [email protected] and let us know! We're also still looking for guests for Harvey to interview on The Convo, so if you've got something interesting to say about the non-monogamy world and your place in it, give us a shout! Be kind and stay open! :) Correction: Jes & Harvey incorrectly refer to Kevin Patterson, author of many books including "Love is Not Color Blind", as "Keith Patterson" - we sincerely regret the error.

Hey everyone - we're back with another episode of The Convo! This week's guest, Glenda Jordan, is an absolutely amazing human that we're all lucky to count as a member of the non-monogamy community. Glenda is, amongst many other things, a visual artist, model, circus performer/entertainer, and public speaker - and we talk about all of those things (and more) during our conversation this week.  If you were expecting a new episode of The Panel this week, there's some important news during the first few minutes of this episode explaining why you're getting a Convo instead, and the future of MIX Nashville Presents podcats - so please, continue to stay tuned (Hi everyone who found us from Decolonizing Love - great to have you here!), and we can't wait to show you what we're currently working later this year. Speaking of which - do you have an idea for a podcast that you think would help educate and inform the non-monogamy community out there in the world?

Feel free to reach out to [email protected] and let us know any of those things - we're looking for new shows to produce, guests to have on, or just to hear what you're liking and not liking about the content we create, so please - send it in! Be kind and stay open! :)

It's time for another episode of The Convo - and this month we have Felicia Castillo Powers of Sunday Assembly Nashvile! Felicia was so kind to sit down with us to discuss her work with Sunday Assembly (both in Nashville and nationwide). We discuss Felicia's personal non-monogamy journey, the purpose of Sunday Assembly and how it came to be, and how community can make a real difference in people's lives, no matter why they get together.

Originally recorded June 4, 2025 We're talking metas this month with our panelists, which include Nick and Millie from the wildly-popular content creators of Decolonizing Love! We were so thrilled to have each of them give us their takes on your questions about how to deal with metas that don't want to meet you, metas you can't stand and don't know how to interact with, whether someone is being coercive or manipulative about having you begin a friendship with a common partner, and a whole bunch more meta talk (incluidng a couple of minutes of meta talk about talking  about metas.) (Can we say "meta" more? Probably not.) If you found us from following Decolonizing Love, thanks for checking us out! We update every two weeks and alternate between episodes of The Panel and our sister show, The Convo, where we do short interviews with people from all walks of life that are connected to the non-monogamy world. If you have some questions you'd like answered on a future episode of The Panel, please head over to our annoymous form on our website (www.mixnash.co/ask) and send them in ! :D Your questions literally are what makes our show happen,  and we appreciate every single one you send in! (And if you really want to be our best friend, leave us a review wherever you're listening to this? We'd be ever so appreciative.) Be kind, and stay open!
