The show’s tagline is: “Where people tell true stories they never thought they’d dare to share in public.” Host Kevin Allison is renowned for his anecdote about being anally probed while attending a kink camp, if that gives you any idea of how seriously he takes his mission. Although not all the stories have to do with love and relationships, when they do, they’re a doozy. Plus, the podcast episodes are titled by theme, so you can easily scroll through for episodes that pique your interest. Get it here.
7. Modern Love
The New York Times column Modern Love offers a gripping glimpse into the relationships of diverse people all over the world. The only thing that could make it better would be to offer the tales in podcast form, and someone heard our prayers on that front. Hosted by Meghna Chakrabarti, there’s a star-studded bonus to this podcast: Celebrities like America Ferrera, Emmy Rossum, and Amber Tamblyn, recite the stories. Get it here.
8. My Dad Wrote A Porno
Comedian Jamie Morton stumbled upon some badly written erotica his dad had cooked up, and he took it upon himself to share it with the world. Rather than dying from the mortification or otherwise burying his head in the sand, he decided to read one chapter a week as part of a comedy podcast with his friends. Prepare for a lot of laughs (and his dad loves the podcast, so no need to feel bad when you do, too). Get it here.
