I fell in love with the Modern Love Podcast when it was the actual essays read aloud by a rotating cast of excellent readers. Most often it was an actor of renown, but more importantly, it was someone who expressed themselves beautifully and read the piece with great care and emotion.

Such a disappointing episode. The first one I’ve ever not been able to finish. Sounded more like a push for the book than the story behind it. And his attempt at humor came off rehearsed. I’m sorry, but a real turn off for me. I’ll try to write reviews when I love the expire too
I really enjoyed this interview with Jordan Carlos. I have missed his Adulting podcast with Michelle Buteau!

While I have been happily married for 40 years, I connected with Belle Burden’s story. She has an authentic voice that illuminates a heartbreaking experience. I purchased her book and send best wishes to her and her children ❤️
