Bi+ book season concludes with a returning guest, the first out NFL player to identify as bisexual, RK Russell!. We discussed his new memoir, The Yards Between Us, and he also has a new men's journal out called Huddle.

Bi+ book season continues with a special guest from South Africa, Ohene Yaw Ampofo-Anti.

Bi+ book season continues with Dr. Lisa Speidel and her upcoming book, Bisexuality Beyond Binaries: Celebrating Multiple Bisexual Identities in a World of Erasure. Dr. Speidel also published with Routledge and is a big part of the reason why I was able to publish Bisexual Married Men there -- she reviewed and recommended my proposal! We connected a year later when she interviewed me for her book, which includes writing and interviews from a diverse spectrum of Bi+ people. Please note: her book is not available yet but will be released in the fall of 2024. This conversation goes way beyond the binary... enjoy!
There are 20 minutes of bonus content with Dr. Speidel – and full video of the entire interview – on Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/robertbrookscohen].

Welcome back to Bi+ book season! We're picking up right where we left off, interviewing 4 more Bi+ authors about their new bisexual-themed books, and this week I'm so excited to reunite with J.R. Yussuf to discuss his new book, Dear Bi Men: A Black Man's Perspective on Power, Consent, Breaking Down Binaries, and Combating Erasure [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/739250/dear-bi-men-by-jr-yussuf/]. J.R. was one of the first ever guests on this podcast, and it was amazing to hear how much has evolved – for both of us – since that first interview. We chatted about too many things to list, and you won't want to miss it!
There are over 25 minutes of bonus content with J.R. – and full video of the entire interview – on Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/robertbrookscohen].

It's the final interview (for real!) in this series on Bi+ married men. But first -- I'm starting a coaching practice! I specialize in helping LGBT+, queer, questioning, and non-monogamous people navigate their identity and relationships, but I can coach you in any area of your life in which you feel stuck. For the first 20 minutes of this episode, I give an overview of my new practice, what coaching is and isn't, how I can help you create awareness and meaningful change, and how to sign up for a free intro call if you're interested. (TLDR: visit my website [https://www.robertbrookscohen.com/coaching])
After that, enjoy an interview with Rene (aka Nelson), another subject in my book, Bisexual Married Men: Stories of Relationships, Acceptance, and Authenticity [https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-100985243-14472606?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.routledge.com%2FBisexual-Married-Men-Stories-of-Relationships-Acceptance-and-Authenticity%2FCohen%2Fp%2Fbook%2F9781032473260] (out now), back on Two Bi Guys for the second time. Rene's story is unique and layered, but it also features common threads that many Bi+ men have experienced – though we often feel like we're alone.
There are 20 minutes of bonus content with Rene, plus full video of this interview and entire series, on Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/robertbrookscohen].
Thanks for listening to this series on Bi+ married men and for the lovely feedback on my book. (If you're enjoying it, please leave a review on Amazon or wherever you bought it!) Stay tuned for the continuation of book season with a few more Bi+ authors. Thanks for listening and supporting my work!

Here's the last interview in my series on Bi+ married men. (Or maybe the penultimate! I'm still waiting to hear back from someone. I'll do a wrap-up episode either way.) This week I interviewed Austin, aka "Quentin" in my book, Bisexual Married Men: Stories of Relationships, Acceptance, and Authenticity [https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-100985243-14472606?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.routledge.com%2FBisexual-Married-Men-Stories-of-Relationships-Acceptance-and-Authenticity%2FCohen%2Fp%2Fbook%2F9781032473260] (out now) -- back on Two Bi Guys for the second time (first time was season 2!) with lots of updates and new insights. Austin's story is unique and layered, perhaps even more layered than any other (and I've learned so much from peeling back those layers), but it also features common threads that many Bi+ men have experienced – though we often feel like we're alone.
There are 18 minutes of bonus content with Austin, plus full video of the entire interview, on my Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/robertbrookscohen]!
Thanks for listening! I'll be wrapping up this Bi+ married men series next episode and then finishing up Book Season with a few more Bi+ authors (and then taking a break...). But more bonus content will continue to be featured on Patreon, especially on hiatus.

Happy new year! Here's another interview from this special series on bisexual men who are married to women. This week I interviewed Nana, another subject in my book, Bisexual Married Men: Stories of Relationships, Acceptance, and Authenticity [https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-100985243-14472606?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.routledge.com%2FBisexual-Married-Men-Stories-of-Relationships-Acceptance-and-Authenticity%2FCohen%2Fp%2Fbook%2F9781032473260] (out now). Nana's story is unique and layered, especially because he was the only interviewee with a military background (which intersected heavily with his Bi+ identity...), but it also features common threads that many Bi+ men have experienced – though we often feel like we're alone.
There are 20 minutes of bonus content with Nana, plus FULL LENGTH VIDEO of the interview, only on my Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/robertbrookscohen]-- enjoy!

We're back with more in this special series on bisexual men who are married to women! This week I interviewed Cassidy, another subject in my new oral history book, Bisexual Married Men: Stories of Relationships, Acceptance, and Authenticity [https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-100985243-14472606?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.routledge.com%2FBisexual-Married-Men-Stories-of-Relationships-Acceptance-and-Authenticity%2FCohen%2Fp%2Fbook%2F9781032473260] – out now! Cassidy's story is unique and layered, especially because he abandoned his "straight" label early on as a teenager, but it also features common threads that many Bi+ men have experienced – though we often feel like we're alone.
There are 11 minutes of bonus content with Cassidy, plus FULL LENGTH VIDEO of the interview, only on my Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/robertbrookscohen]-- enjoy!

My book, "Bisexual Married Men: Stories of Relationships, Acceptance, & Authenticity" is available now! I hosted two book launch parties last week to celebrate, share stories, and build community, and I'm so excited for everyone to read the book. In this episode, I give a brief recap of the launch events, and then you'll hear the last 50 minutes from the Zoom launch party, which includes a panel discussion with subjects from the book (Keith & Candice aka Evan & Linsday, Austin aka Quentin, and Howard & Elizabeth aka Stanley & Christine) plus an audience Q&A and some personal sharing.
I'll be back soon with more interviews in the Bi+ married men series!
