Love and Radio (stylized Love + Radio) is an American audio podcast directed by Nick van der Kolk and produced by Julia DeWitt and Steven Jackson. Its managing producer is Phillip Dmochowski. Love and Radio originally began in 2005 as a series of self-distributed episodes, and the show later received support and distribution from NPR and Chicago Public Media. In 2014, the show joined the podcast network Radiotopia as one of its 7 original members and began producing episodes on a more regular monthly schedule.[1][2]
Episodes of Love and Radio consist of stories, often presented in personal interviews, either focusing on a single story or sometimes related to a theme. A few segments include fiction, but most are non-fiction. The show's subjects have been described as 'people on the cultural edge'[3] and 'intriguing characters who aren't quite who you think they are when you first meet them'.[4] The show also uses audio production techniques to give the interviews a musical and inventive quality.[4]
In 2011, Love and Radio was awarded the Gold prize for best documentary by the Third Coast International Audio Festival for the episode 'The Wisdom of Jay Thunderbolt', which revolves around an interview with a stay-at-home strip club manager.[5]Roman Mars, one of the Third Coast judges, described the piece as 'beautifully constructed and composed in ways that are subtle and unique.'[3] The show also won Third Coast Awards in 2013 for the episode 'Jack and Ellen' and in 2015 for the episode 'The Living Room'.[6][7]

BROKE MY HEART!!!!
It killed me when this show left for a subscription based service. It was good while it lasted.
Shocked by the immoral decision

The fact that this podcast has moved to Luminary, as a “premium” podcast, is beyond shocking to me. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the idea that impoverished people aren’t allowed access to what was an awesome podcast that could give people insight, knowledge, and understanding of other people and help people to be more cultured.
