Celebrate Valentine’s Day with A Love Podcast

Love Letters

The first love podcast for today is called Love Letters. It’s hosted by Boston Globe advice columnist, Meredith Goldstein. She shares stories about love, dating, and relationships from people in all sorts of different situations. You get to hear about these stories of romance, partnership, and the human heart with a side of advice. Some of these episodes do have strong language, just FYI.

If you’re looking for a place to start, I recommend listening to a recent bonus episode. It is called Dear Internet, You’re Wrong About the Cheesecake Factory. Meredith takes one of her producers on a platonic work date to the Cheesecake Factory to prove the internet wrong about that restaurant being a bad place to go on a first date. There is a link to this episode and all of the episodes of love podcasts I talk about at the top of this blog. 

Committed

The next love podcast is called Committed. This show shines a light on the hilarious, heartbreaking, and inspiring stories of couples who stick together even through the craziest situations.  Each episode is wonderfully produced and brings you to the heart of the story.

This podcast isn’t putting out new episodes, but there are 129 episodes to listen to. I’m sure you’ll find a bunch of fascinating stories you’ll want to dive into. A great episode to start with is called Written in the Stars. It’s a beautiful love story that spans continents, cultures, and decades.

Why Won’t You Date Me?

The next love podcast on today’s list is called, Why Won’t You Date Me? Comedian Nicole Beyer is the host and she is hilarious and genuine in all of the best ways. In each episode, she talks to her guests who are usually other comedians or actors about their experience in the dating world. Also, just as a side note, the intro for this show is fabulous and hilarious.  I’m 99.9 percent sure that you will love it. Go listen to the intro, even if you’re not interested in listening to this podcast. 

This podcast does talk about all aspects of relationships, including sexual intimacy. So if that’s not something you want to hear about on a podcast, this will be one you want to skip.

Also, there is strong language in this show, don’t listen to this one if that’s not for you. If you’re looking for an episode to start with, I recommend listening to this recent one called His and Hers Home Decor Compromises with Katrina Davis. Their conversation in this episode is funny, but also heartwarming.

Modern Love

The last podcast about love for today is called Modern Love. This show brings you stories and conversations about love and all of its adorableness, dumb pitfalls. and life changing moments. There are two different types of episodes. There are episodes where authors read their modern love essays, which are about 10 minutes long. In the other episodes, Anna Martin, the host, has a conversation with those authors where they dive into the story behind the essay. Those episodes are about 30 minutes long.  

If you love a good love story, this is the podcast for you. If you’re looking for a place to start, a beautiful but also heartbreaking episode is called I Married My Subway Crush. It’s about a woman who takes six years to work up the courage to say hi to her subway crush and all that happens afterward.
