In this episode RY talks with three creators: * TinkerKinkers (tinkerkinkers@gmail.com) about a new (and brilliant!) pressure-sensitive toy activator that can quickly turn little time into playtime, and vice-versa * MisterSeaOtter (coachseaotter@gmail.com, coachseaotter(IG)) about a life coaching service particularly for people with an ABDL kink * Mako (@mako on FL) about an overhaul of his shared discipline and power exchange app, WeMinder. (join the development updates on Reddit at r/weminderapp !)

Have you ever wanted to explore a D/s relationship? Or maybe just some fun play?

Life gets so much richer with the crazy, exhilarating, deep fun of kink (and especially ABDL) doesn’t it? Have you ever wondered what *else* in the ABDL world and the kink world could be really rewarding? Maybe even wondered if some of your previous self-imposed boxes might be ready for some dismantling? On this episode, RY and Teddy talk to @ComfortablyCrinkly (IG) and @Mrs.BabyPants (IG) about how they have expanded their own boundaries inside of ABDL and outside of it, how they have tried new things to see how they feel, even taken on new roles and dynamics they thought they might never take on. And, more importantly, how their lives have changed as a result.

LIB 143 - CAPCon 2026 Live Episode 22.03.2026 1t 48min

AT LONG LAST, it is here! We have had a two-week radio silence since CAP; there were some technical glitches with the audio, so we had to ship it off to our audio pro friends Mr November (FL) and Dadbaud (IG) to clean it up and make it listenable. And they pulled it off! It was a really, really fabulous live episode with incredible questions and an amazing group of attendees and panel, so we didn't want you to miss it. This live episode recorded at CAPCon 2026 starts with RY, Lola and Teddy reflecting on CAPCon 2026, then into the actual live episode audio. Thanks for bearing with it; I promise it's worth the extra work to listen closely. And a huge thanks to our panel : BabyMisty, Nikki Love, and ComfortablyCrinkly all knocked it out of the park!

It's our first crossover episode! On this episode, you get all three LIB hosts -- RY, Lola, and Teddy connect with two of the hosts of In The Nook, Noah and Fancy, to find out what is going on with our community, where the "mainstream" ABDL community (or "straight" community, though that is a bit of a misnomer) and the gay men's ABDL community meet. It's a rich discussion about commonalities, differences, and where we can learn from each other. And most of all it's just 5 ABDL podcast hosts enjoying some chat together. We hope you really enjoy!

This second half of our discussion looks at real, practical paradigm-shifts and next-steps that can be taken when you realize something needs to change, and how to move forward and rebuild after losing the life you knew. We hope for those in a tough spot, this episode gives you both some hope and practical advice on how you can find your own way out. And for those who haven't hit those times, we hope this advice sticks with you in case you find yourself needing to bounce back.

LIB 139 - Hitting Bottom and Bouncing Back - Part 1 18.01.2026 41min

Many of us have had a time in life where we have hit rock-bottom: unexpected life-changes have hit, major life plans haven't worked out, relationships have failed, or we needed to escape an impossible situation with nothing. In those moments where we have bottomed-out, first we needed to survive... and then we needed to find a way back up. In this two-part series, RY and Lola talk with Bradly (FL/Tumblr) and Elektra (Tumblr/FL) about those times where we have hit our absolute lowest point, including what got us there, the truths we needed to tell ourselves, and how we knew it was time for a change (and not the fun kind, the really hard kind). In the next episode, we'll look at how we each found our way out and through to bounce back stronger than ever! If you have been through a rock-bottom, we hope you find a little of your own story in these stories, and we hope this discussion helps you feel seen. And in the next episode, we hope it even helps you begin to find your way out!

LIB 135 - Demisexuality + ABDL 21.10.2025 1t 4min

Really excited to be back with a new episode, and one featuring the fabulous Teddy as co-host! Teddy has been world-traveling and experiencing all kinds of new places, experiences, and Love, and so glad to have him bring all of that back to us so we can learn from him. This week, Teddy and RY have a spiritual-successor to our "Awesome Aces" ep (#46), this time focused on Demisexuality! On this episode, our guests @LilMissPumpkin (FL) and @SlothOnTheRocks (FL) talk with us about their experiences coming to identify as demisexual, what demisexuality is and isn't for them, offer some brilliant tips for navigating your own sexuality, whatever it may be, and dig into what it's like to be both Demi + ABDL. It's a whole lot of learnin' and way more talk about amusement parks than you would expect from a sex podcast. So buckle up (or at least make sure your riding harness is nice and tight) for a fabulous ride into Demisexuality!

LIB 134 - Switching for Couples 28.09.2025 55min

Some of us are Bigs, or Tops, or Dom(mes). Some of us are Littles, or Bottoms, or subs... and some of us (including yours truly) love to be BOTH! This is an episode all about SWITCHING, and Lola and I are proud to welcome our new friends LALady (LALadyinMS on Tumblr) and Carp (carptrout on Tumblr) to talk about finding the weird wonderful world of ABDL switching, how to navigate switching with a partner, and how switching works in our particular couplehoods. Of course, there are as many ways to switch as there are switchy folks and couples, so this is far from the last episode on the subject! But we wanted to bring one couples' perspective together with our own, and we hope you enjoy learning along with us. So turn off the lights (use the switch), may get some warmup domming/subbing in (use the switch), and get ready to talk about SWITCHING!

It's Summer Blow-Out Time, and our deals have gotten CRAZY! On this Question Round-Up we cover not our usual six... not seven... but EIGHT questions from you, our listeners! (I figured if I put it in caps it looks more impressive...) We talk about how to do 24/7 when you work in an office, how to experience little space *without* diapers, how to respond to your partner's disgust with your fetish, how to set up a scene, and even the origin story on Lola's "Messy Monday" posts. All that and more, *and* a beautiful testimonial from a listener on the impact of community and self-acceptance on their life. So, come on in to LIB's Big Summer Blow-out (not that kind of blowout) and feel the savings wrapped around you like a warm... well, you know!

LIB 132 - Cloth Diapers! 22.06.2025 1t 12min

Have you ever wondered what a Nappy Nipper is?? Have you always felt a dull, aching longing in your soul for whatever terrycloth toweling is? Did you ever put on a disposable diaper and think, "that was waaaaaay too easy?" If so, you may be ready to try cloth diapers! On this episode of Love in Brief, RY and Lola talk with @ExecBaby (FL) and Liv (@NewbornABDL on IG / babygirlandmommy496 on Tumblr) about all things cloth diapers-- how they work, tips and tricks for using them, and why a big chunk of ABDLs are hopelessly devoted to these awesome diapers.

LIB 131 - Ebbs and Flows 09.06.2025 1t 1min

You know how sometimes you really really want to play diapers and play kink and do all sorts of nasty, unseemly things to yourself and/or your partner(s)? And then, kind of inexplicably, a few days or weeks later you could kind of care less about kink or ABDL play? It's easy to get down or hard on ourselves during the times when our kink drive or sex drive wanes, and today's discussion, RY and Teddy talk with Bonsai_Baby (FL/IG) and Blinkxz (FL) about why our kink can ebb and flow, and what to do when that happens. (Hint-- love yourself well, and cut yourself some slack!)

LIB 130 - Faith & ABDL (Part Deux) 19.05.2025 1t 20min

We get a lot of questions about faith and how it interacts (or doesn’t) with kink and ABDL. So we thought it was time to revisit this topic, and we brought along a couple of our beloved friends who are also people with big faith! On this episode, RY and Lola interview TiniestTyrant (FL) and Little-Librarian (FL) on their faith, their kink, and how they have tackled some of the big questions that come up when the two intersect in the same person. Our guests recommend these two resources if you are interested in more! TiniestTyrant recommends ReconcilingWorks.org - A Lutheran program to promote welcome and full participation for all Little Librarian recommends the book “God Didn't Make Us to Hate Us” by Rev. Lizzie McManus-Dail, a book about healing hurt from religious scorn and promote a sense of community.
