Polyamory Weekly, hosted by Cunning Minx, is one of the defining artefacts of the modern polyamory movement. Launched in the mid-2000s, the show preceded the wave of CNM visibility that arrived with mainstream media coverage in the 2010s and helped establish much of the language and framework that the polyamory community now takes for granted.
The archive and its significance
With over 600 episodes, Polyamory Weekly represents a substantial record of polyamory discourse across more than a decade. The archives are housed at the Kinsey Institute, which speaks to the show's status as a cultural document as much as an active media property. For anyone interested in how polyamory communities understood themselves and their practice over time, the back-catalogue is a primary source.
Cunning Minx brings personal experience, humour, and genuine community investment to the material. The format includes interviews with activists, authors, educators, and community members alongside Q&A and solo commentary. The show covers communication, jealousy, family structure, coming out, and the social and political dimensions of polyamory as a practice and identity.
Current status
Listeners should verify current release status before subscribing as the show's frequency has varied. The existing archive retains significant value regardless of new episode production, and the platform feeds remain accessible. Check polyweekly.com for the most current information.
Historical context
Polyamory Weekly shaped the terms in which a generation of polyamorous people thought about their relationships. Many of the frameworks, phrases, and debates that now circulate in CNM communities were worked through in this show. For anyone who wants to understand where current polyamory discourse came from, it remains essential listening.
Who it's for
People exploring polyamory who want depth and historical grounding alongside practical content. The show is not a beginner-only resource, and the archive rewards sustained exploration. Listeners who find Multiamory's coaching framework too prescriptive may prefer Minx's more community-embedded approach.
