This Is Love

This Is Love is a beautiful and moving podcast from Phoebe Judge and the team behind Criminal, exploring stories about love in all its many forms. Each episode tells a carefully crafted true story about the lengths people will go to for love — romantic love, love of family, love of place, love of animals, and the profound connections that give life meaning. Phoebe Judge brings the same calm, intimate narration style that made Criminal a hit, creating an atmosphere of trust and tenderness that allows these stories to land with maximum emotional impact. The show covers an extraordinary range of subjects: a woman who camps out in the woods for months trying to reunite a lost dog with its owner, a father who builds an impossible treehouse for his children, a scientist devoted to saving a species on the brink of extinction. What unites every episode is the conviction that love — in all its complicated, sometimes irrational, always powerful forms — is the most interesting and important thing about being human. This Is Love is the perfect podcast for contemplative walks, offering stories that stay with you long after the episode ends.
