'My insecurities were the same in monogamy and polyamory.' When Siobhan and Rich met online and began dating they had barely heard of polyamory, let alone considered it for themselves.

In a bathroom first, Siobhan and Rich join Cam and Ali to delve into the world of ethical non-monogamy. The couple chat navigating jealousy, how that first conversation went, their 'rules' and relationship agreement, their families' reactions, and how polyamory has enriched their lives.  LINKS  Check out Siobhan and Rich's podcast The Poly (Pod)cast or follow them on Instagram @poly_podcast Follow Cam on Instagram @camerondaddo Follow Ali on Instagram @alidaddo Follow Nova Podcasts @novapodcastsofficial.  Got a question for Cam & Ali?

"After 10 days, I went back to London and said I've met a girl... I'm moving to Australia." A classically trained chef at the top of his game in the UK, Bake Off Australia's Darren Purchese had low expectations for his chance visit to Brisbane in 2004. He didn't expect to fall in love with Australian food – and an Australian girl, fellow chef Cath Caringbold.  Join Darren and Cath as they step out of the kitchen and into the bathroom. On top of their dramatic meeting story and plenty of mouth-watering food chat, the couple talk working and spending all their time together, the difference between English and Australian scones, making tea for the queen, and how, for these chefs, there is no secret sauce... except maybe Darren's chilli crisp.

Some of the most important, profound relationships in our lives are not romantic. While today's guests share 'rare' chemistry and a partnership that has carried them through tough times, in a bathroom first, they're in what some call a 'work marriage'.  If you're familiar with Melbourne breakfast radio duo Jase Hawkins and Lauren Philips, you might know they've weathered some dramatic highs and lows together. Join Cam and Ali as they learn about the couple's 'seedy' first meeting, their turbulent start in radio, building on-air chemistry and off-air trust, finding the line when mining their romantic partners for content, and a prank call to Justin Timberlake that went sideways.  LINKS  Listen to Jase and Lauren on Nova100 Melbourne Breakfast Catch up with what you missed on their podcast Follow Jase and Lauren on Instagram @jaseandlauren Follow Cam on Instagram @camerondaddo Follow Ali on Instagram @alidaddo Follow Nova Podcasts @novapodcastsofficial.  Got a question for Cam & Ali?
