From the beginning of our life to the end of it, love is always surrounding us. Whether we’re the one loving or being loved, it’s a feeling that’s difficult to describe. I wanted to get a better understanding of what love is not from the dictionary, but from children. In this piece, kids, between the ages of 5 and 7, explain how they feel about love. They describe what it means to them, the best and worst things about it, and how people express their love for one another. Listen to hear how something that seems so complex be explained in the simplest of words.

All Coming Years of Peaceful Love

From Canadian Broadcasting Corporation | Part of the CBC Radio's Outfront series | 13:18

The history of the twentieth century told through a love story, a mandolin, and an 81-year-old husband?s guide to good sex?

Prxoutfrontplain_small All Coming Years of Peaceful Love The history of the twentieth century told through a love story, a mandolin, and an 81-year-old husband?s guide to good sex? Like most newlyweds, Miklos Emhecht and Miriam Osfeyer are head-over-heels in love. There is something unusual about their wedding album, though. Micky?s hair is snow white and more than a little thin up front. Deep wrinkles crease the skin around Miriam?s eyes and cheeks. Micky and Miriam have witnessed some of the last century?s darkest times. From that sad past, they are determined to create a new life of peace and love together.

The Break Up Project Performance (Clean)

From Megan Hall | 49:03

Clean version of a recording of a live mix of Providence break-up stories

Breakup_small On Wednesday, February 14th, Valentine's Day, the Stairwell Gallery hosted the premiere of the audio documentary "The Breakup Project: Tales of Woe, Wonder, and Other Psycho Pop." The project began over a winter dinner when producers and friends Megan Hall and Sue Ellen Kroll commiserated about their own recent breakups- laughing about the difficulty of navigating social circles and small town rumor mills. The joke grew into a full hour-long audio presentation featuring the break up stories of over 20 Providence residents and live music mixing by Tom VanBuskirk.

The R&B Chronicles -Valentines Day Special featuring The Delfonics & The Dells

From WHRV | Part of the The R&B Chronicles series | 59:27

Historical look at R&B Music

Chronicles1_small Perhaps more than any other genre of popular American music culture, soul music is the result of the combination and merging of previous styles and sub-styles in the 50's and 60's. At it's inception soul music combined the African American concepts of gospel and blues sensibilities in creating a passionate, soulful and musical presentation of the African American spirit. Rhythm and Blues is itself a combination of blues and jazz and developed in the 40's as small groups of predominately African American musicians built upon the blues tradition which morphed itself into soul music coming into the 50's. "The R&B Chronicles" is a weekly musical biography that will focus on classic R&B and soul music and feature many of the great artists and groups.... such as Otis Redding, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Earth, Wind and Fire and many more. "The R&B Chronicles" airs Friday evenings at 7pm on 89.5 WHRV-FM. Hosted and produced by Jae Sinnett.

What's the Word? Famous Love Letters

From Modern Language Association | 29:10

Love letters from some very famous couples

Long Distance Love in Los Angeles

From Karen Fritsche | 05:30

In Southern California, everything depends on one thing: how long will it take to drive there? Whether it's where you work, where you eat, or where you love...

This is a funny, sound-rich, first-person tale of love, dating and gridlock. It's set in LA, but people in cities everywhere will definitely relate. Especially if they're trapped in their cars when they're listening.

Gridlock_small
This story features the The Schlepometer, a genius new formula for determining whether any given relationship is worth the hassle of commuting.


Other voices:
Alan Metter, of Beverly Hills, who dates by traffic patterns.
Lee Ettinger, a self-proclaimed hopeful romantic, willing to go anywhere for love. 
Musician Eleni Mandell, whose Westside boy, moved to the Eastside.
Kristin Friederich.  LA's sprawl even gets in the way of her booty calls.
And sex columnist, Dan Savage.
