About Your Hosts:
Mic & Kay are a married lgbtq+ couple who met on Reddit while exploring open relationships. They were both on the road to divorce from their previous partners when they landed on a polyamory thread and in each other's DMs. While both have had their share of relationship problems, they also never gave up on love. Now, they want to learn why they fell into the lies about love and how they can spark conversation around relationships, what we are conditioned to believe, and what love actually feels like.
