Love and Radio is an American audio podcast created by the radio producers Nick van der Kolk and Adrianne Mathiowetz in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The show is sponsored by National Public Radio as part of the alt.NPR podcast series.[1] Each episode of Love and Radio consists of a mixture of fact and fiction, presented in a series of short interviews and stories related to a theme.[2]

Past themes have included guns, ghosts, secrets, fights, and online dating. Love and Radio is sometimes compared to the show This American Life,[2] but employs a looser, more free-form editing style and does not have a regular host. Its creators claim that (as of May, 2006) it is the only listing in the NPR podcast directory with an "explicit" tag.[3]

Episodes of Love and Radio have aired on WGBH,[4] KUOW,[5] Oregon Public Broadcasting,[4] and Connecticut Public Radio,[6] as well as other American public radio stations.
