This Week: Modern Love | WireTap with Jonathan Goldstein | CBC Radio

Is there such a thing as too much love? In this special Valentine’s Day episode, we bring you a story about a time when love was endless. Plus, a man spends over a decade of his life in love with a woman who doesn’t exist, kids share their relationship advice, and a woman recounts the worst first date of all time.

I listen to just about every episode via their podcasts and this one I particularly enjoed. Choice quotes below:

Because love, as you know, also means taking on another person’s pain.

You don’t really decide who you’re gonna love. It’s just your heart that says this person, I like this person. This person.

I think it’s like an existential loneliness. You can find people who you can connect with deeply who really make you feel happy and nurished. But I don’t think anybody can cure our existential loneliness.

Do u wanna see who I have on my iPod?

Oh.. And I made it easy for you to listen.
