Love Letters

Meredith Goldstein from The Boston Globe reads real letters from real people about their real love problems, and the resulting discussions are more moving than most relationship podcasts manage. The letters are raw - breakups, unrequited feelings, marriages falling apart, new love terrifying in its potential. The advice comes from genuine empathy rather than judgment, and the guests add perspectives that keep things from becoming an echo chamber. If you've ever wanted to read an advice column out loud with a thoughtful friend, this is exactly that experience in podcast form.
