Polyamory: From Mormons to 60s Counterculture

Polyamory: From Mormons to 60s Counterculture

The polyamory movement has a long and interesting history. It takes in Pilgrims meeting Native American Indians, Mormons having their take on it, and a modern version born from 60s counterculture and the civil rights movement.


But what beliefs underpin this lifestyle choice? And who are the figureheads who have defined it historically?


Today we’re joined by Glen Olsen, author of 50 Years of Polyamory in America, to find out more.


This episode was edited by Siobhan Dale, and produced by senior producer Charlotte Long.
