Podcasts about lovers

For all of you staying in and curling up by the fire on this Halloween night, why don't you cue up this interview with author John Collins? He comes onto the podcast to talk to Scotty about his novella "The Leeds Point Horror" (2025, Alien Buddha Press), and they have a wide-ranging conversation about influences from Stephen King, "Jaws," splatterpunk, classic 1950s pulp fiction, and more. John discusses his initial dreams of being a movie effects artist and his subsequent transition into writing fiction. They also talk about "breaking rules" in their writing, tackling "taboo" subjects, and the tricky notion of "going too far." They close out the episode by taking a look at director David Slade's underrated but effective 2023 adaptation of Norman Partridge's Bram Stoker Award-winning novel "Dark Harvest."

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is investing in a VHS player for no particular reason.  This week, co-hosts Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Daviel Shy (@solsticetits), a multi-disciplinary artist who wrote and directed over a dozen short films, runs and curates L.M.N.O.P (Lesbian Movie Night Ongoing Project), and co-founded DAYLiGHT FiLMs, a kinky, queer, analogue pivot into the adult entertainment industry. We talk in-depth about Daviel's new series The Lovers, a 7-episode series available on Prime Video, that she brought to life during the pandemic lockdowns.  The Lovers follows the story of a laid off sex-worker who falls for a fitness witch in 2020's L.A. When asked her elevator pitch for the series, Daviel explained that it's basically a kinkier, gayer Skins and after watching it, we fully agree with that description. Prior to creating The Lovers, Daviel had a lot of experience with writing, directing and producing, but with the barriers of the lockdowns, she decided to also star in the series, a first that helped her realize she actually wanted to do what her character was doing. Through the assistance of the kink community in L.A., Daviel was able not only to create her series, but to connect with the network she would need to break into the adult entertainment industry and co-found DAYLiGHT FiLMs.  You can stream The Lovers on Amazon Prime Video or Vimeo On Demand.  Give us your own answers to our Q & Gay on Instagram and follow along on Facebook, TikTok, and BlueSky @lezhangoutpod.

We begin this episode by highlighting a fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Joseph Gordon Levitt over the issue of “synthetic relationships” and their implications for young children. We discuss the recent invention of plastoline, an alternative fuel source that can power automobiles. We conclude by considering one of Bill Maher's recent New Rules involving intentionally disrupting our social media algorithms in order to make space for understanding of and dialog with our opponents.  

A dark romcom featuring a hilarious vampire...yes, please! We have the best time gushing over this delightful story and all of its comedic moments.

The night begins with a slow burn… Greg Wilson's version of Love Is the Drug by Roxy Music — a timeless groove celebrating 50 years of a record that still drips with danger, desire, and velvet allure.

We give up on those we profess to love too soon.   There is something primordial, something gossamer, to do with the body, to do with first inchoate impressions, which attracts us to one another in the first place. Because relationships often begin in shallow waters.   As things start to become serious, the couple traverses depths. It's not easy. And unexpected. Murky, weed-laden, algae-full. The clear eyes and the pellucid surfaces of early days is suddenly overladen with things about each other we don't even recognize. It is difficult to swim through the muck. For it seeps into our pores, into the day-&-night of our lives, into our senses, and suddenly everything which was golden turns murky, overladen with offal. What attracted now repulses.   This is when things start collapsing. We completely forget what brought us to each other in the first place.   In the old days, when coupledom, marriages, were unending, and meant for forever, this was a phase which was meant to be borne, till it passed - and one learnt to live with it. Often, things remained as they were, however deep the relationship went. Toxicity was the norm. Individually we were supposed to grow, as a couple we were supposed to fly. Instead there was claustrophobia and a sense of doom.   But the tragedy often was elsewhere. The tragedy was when we never gave a chance to time and change.   Because as one swam through the muck, something magical often started to emerge. Pellucid waters. Depths which captured light like mussels catch pearls. Where the muck was the rough exterior but grace and beauty were permanent residents - albeit hidden. For the couple, there was a sense of transcendence.   And since it was reached with patience, forbearance, commitment, there was a sense of gratefulness and wonder which filled us.   So, beyond anything and everything, relationships need the patience of space. Time's hard knocks are a phase to build resilience, to understand the other, and more importantly, for us to uncover layers in ourselves we didn't know existed.   Discovery and understanding are both the magnet and the glue which holds a couple together.   If you liked this poem, consider listening to these other poems on the passages of relationships -  Lovers Who Synchronise (and those who don't) Return to You I Said I Love You First Subscribe to my newsletter 'The Uncuts' Follow me on Instagram at @sunilgivesup.

A voice can be an instrument, a mirror, and sometimes a battlefield. That's the ground we cover with actor-singer Winter Andrews aka the “indie sorcerer”—as we trace how mimicry, rhythm, and empathy shaped both his acting and his music. From being moved by Regina Spektor's allegory in Samson to discovering the strange peace inside Hozier's Shrike, Winter opens up about the songs that taught him to hold big feelings without apology. We talk Chester Bennington's quiet ache amid the roar, Imogen Heap's ghostly minimalism, Dermot Kennedy's raw folk energy, and Phoebe Bridgers' gentle delivery of devastating stories. Then Jeff Buckley brings the hopeful melancholy that still lights the way.With that map in hand, we step into Winter's upcoming EP, Till the Moon Fades Away, and the world he built across four originals. Wildfires starts small and blooms into a cinematic swell, setting the promise that intimacy and grandeur will meet. The Lovers is a three-act love story threaded by one telling word—if—moving from yearning to union to elegy, with strings by Rob Moose amplifying the sweep of time. Babel rises from shame and self-loathing into a towering confession, a song years in the making that demanded the right vocal arc and tempo to match its storm. Across the Snow closes like the aftermath of hard nights, born through a character to reach truths that were too raw to face head-on.If you love singer-songwriter storytelling, indie folk drama, cinematic ballads, and vocal-forward production, this conversation will hit home. Follow all things Winter Andrews on Instagram and TikTok (@ItsWinterAndrews)https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/winter-andrews-mix/pl.u-MJEGINqbr81.

Every believer carries a different expression of God's nature, but few ever discover which one defines their calling. Some are Lovers, driven by intimacy and compassion. Others are Warriors, built to confront darkness and take territory. Then there are Statesmen, positioned to shape culture and influence nations. When you learn to walk in all three dimensions, you step into a powerful convergence where your authority, wisdom, and devotion align to fulfill God's purpose for your life.   Podcast Episode 1907: Are You a Lover, a Warrior, or a Statesman?

Trigger Warning: This conversation includes a deeply personal story shared by André Holland, including a moment when someone he had affections for used a racial slur toward him. Listener discretion is advised. What happens when a core memory rewrites the story of how we see ourselves in love? In this week's LOVERS episode, Shan sits down with actor André Holland to explore the pivotal memory that shaped his belief that he was never “good enough” as himself—and that he had to become someone “better” to be loved. They unpack how these deeply rooted emotional imprints steer our relationships—sometimes helping us, but often holding us back. André's story reveals how early wounds can guide not just who we choose, but how we let love in. Whether you're single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this episode is a powerful guide to: uncovering the underlying stories behind your intimacy rewriting beliefs that no longer serve you opening the door to deeper, more authentic connection
