Influence of the Science Fiction Writings of Robert A. Heinlein on Polyamory, avaiable on the Polyamorous Percolations site is an excellent summary article on Heinlein's writings and a brief history of polyamory. Great if you want a sense of history but don't want to wade through Heinlein's thick books!
53:50-54:60 Topic: Barbara Nitke lost her case
Unfortunately, Barbara Nitke lost her case.
54:60-58:10 Poly in Media: Gay marriage, polygamy, Big Love
This Slate article makes the argument against polyamory/polygamy with the basic argument that jealousy is natural, human, insurmountable and to be avoided at all costs. Hmmm... if jealousy is the criteria for denying marriage rights, does that mean that jealous monogamists shouldn't be allowed to marry? Chris posted an intelligent response to this argument here.
58:10-1:05:45 Audio comments
ScubaDude comments on addressing jealousy and insecurity in he and his wife's partner, T; JoshA makes a tongue-in-cheek suggestion about creating a TV show called "Christian Hell," where the worst things conservatives fear would come to pass, including someone marrying a goat. :-)
Like the music? It's "Lullaby" by Jeremy Kushnier.
1:05:45-end Wrap-up
