As a one-off bonus (?), Dr. Adam is joined by Dr. K, a fellow communication professor and someone personally familiar with polyamory, to discuss the first-ever episode of TLC's Polyfamily.
How does Polyfamily represent polyamory in the eyes of someone who is both an academic and a consensual non-monogamist? How do the professors read Sean and Tyler's cold-war parenting conflict? And just... just what is going on here? Lets all find out together.

I'm joined by the ladies from Little Miss Recap to discuss the Plath family's changing makeup and all the underlying issues. Moriah and her (sort of?) boyfriend Max come to an inflection point.
Ethan and Olivia continue to try to find solutions to their problems, specifically a new home further away from Barry and Kim.
Lots of fun discussion and we all value your feedback, including how to handle Plathville coverage going forward. Enjoy!
