Love + Radio

The emotional episode Jack and Ellen has stayed with me ever since I listened to it: a true tale of our time. Excellent interviews, inventively, almost musically, produced, Love + Radio is more outlier than This American Life, and is my very favourite of the many US “real life” podcasts. It doesn’t try to teach you anything, it just presents you with a story that unfolds as you listen. WBEZ Chicago is L + R’s home, but the show always feels out of time and space, in and of its own world. A world full of intriguing characters who aren’t quite who you think they are when you first meet them
