At this point, Phoebe Judge can do no wrong. She was blessed with a great voice for storytelling, each show features engaging people and situations, and the narration makes it feel like you were there and these are your memories. 10/10, I love it.

This show is always incredible. So many episodes I go back to and listen to again and again. The I’m alright episode helped my brain tremendously today. Thank you.

This show is a sweet place to be, and a relief in an onslaught of hard news. Thanks for telling these stories that show how diverse and delightful and heartbreaking love can be. The recent episode of the lady scientists and the mars rovers was a tearjerker 🥹

Again, another show by Phoebe Judge that you have to pay to get most of the content. Going to quit following.

Wonderful, interesting stories lead by the amazing Phoebe!

One of my favorite podcasts. So sad the payment wall has hit so strong.

Such a wonderful listen, so many surprising stories. A refreshing listen from Pheobe after listening to Criminal!

This show is consistently incredible. Thought provoking and touching. Phoebe is a great interviewer; getting subjects to open up with ease. I’d give more stars if I could.

Many episodes have been thought provoking, funny sometimes, sometimes sad, but each adding aspects of the totality of love. As a physician approaching retirement, none have touched me quite like The Nicholas Effect. Profoundly unselfish actions by a family faced with the one of the most heartbreaking situations any family can endure. A story of the ultimate pay it forward, told with gentle compassion.

I love hearing about all of the unique ways love shows up ❤️

But not a regular free episode. You have to pay.

Hope it stays on forever

The Mars rovers got me tear up so much. Another tender story that shines the spirit that transcends what typically defines love and “humanity”.

The episode about Spirit and Opportunity were very much love stories. Love seems to find corners and places in hearts and souls, human and metal. This will be important to keep in mind as robots become more interactive and talk back. I’m so impressed by the dedication of the scientists supporting these crazy useful endeavors. One day there will be human communities on Mars and the Spirit and Opportunity teams - metal and human - will turn out to be our Perrys and Amundsens. Thank you 🙏

I love, love, love this podcast, I think it is my favorite of all time. I usually smile my way through it and blink away some happy tears each episode. With all the crummy stuff in the world, there should be many more podcasts like this one and please make as many episodes of this one as time allows!

Love this show!

Hi Wondering why you changed the logo colors to white and blue- seems odd at this time in this fragile time of war

Joy’s last line made me laugh out loud. This was a wonderful story!

Nice to listen to something other than true crime. This show is always interesting.

Enjoyed!

Wonderful show that made me think deeply about how the 1950s and 60s shaped expectations for my mother and then for me.

Thanks to the hosts for putting together this wonderful episode. The story and the chronicles of wolves shows the beauty of love and sacrifice in such a lovely way. Thank you for all the hard work and trouble to build this episode and present to us, Keep up the great work. Just listened to the Barbizon episode - so interesting and delightful. Thank you.

Yeah

Sometimes I just need some thing a little lighter to listen to and thoroughly appreciate that this is not a traditional love story kind of a podcast and explores love in a variety of different ways that aren’t just romantic.

I am a longtime admirer, I have been touched by many of these stories, I especially appreciate how this episode unfolded and added depth and nuance. Thank you for enriching my life.

Phoebe is a top-notch interviewer and story teller, this podcast is always interesting

I happened upon this podcast, specifically about Beatrix Potter and it made my day. I enjoyed every detail and interview, the voices of the podcasters. Thank you thank you

My favorite podcast!

I don’t know how or why it took me so long to stumble across this and Criminal. They are both so excellent and really speak to the power of podcasting as a medium. The amazing production value and storytelling make it an enjoyable and escapist listen, while also packing a bit of an emotional punch. I never thought I would be crying about a wolf but here we are.

This is Love and Criminal are two of my favorites! This is the first not true crime podcast I’ve given a chance too, and so happy that I did! Being from Cape Cod, I love the episodes about people from there. But each episode is just beautifully executed and such a breath of fresh air. I thoroughly enjoy this is love and criminal!

Each episode of This Is Love is beautiful and inspiring in their own way—not to mention entertaining. You won’t regret adding this to your regular listening list. It adds a breath of fresh air into your life.

I enjoy just about every episode but my absolute favorite is the story of Lynne Cox and Grayson. I’ve heard this story at least 5 times. Either here or non other podcasts. I listen every time. ❤️ My husband listens to Criminal and I listen to this podcast. It’s always fun when the same story is seen from different perspectives like the story about the wolves. Great story from both sides.

It’s hard for me to pin down why This Is Love and Criminal are two of my favourite podcasts. The episodes always seem to be a perfect combination of relaxing, inspiring, interesting, wonder-inducing.

Keep up the great work! This has quickly become my favorite podcast for the heartfelt way Phoebe and her team spend thirty minutes to make listeners feel good for a change. Thank you.

Love is in so much of what happens in the world, this podcast beautifully tells those stories in the unique narrative voice of Phoebe Judge. As a love story writer myself, I love (haha) how each story has its own beginning and sometimes an ending, sometimes not.

This is Love is my all time favorite podcast. And I listen to A LOT of podcasts. It’s always my first recommendation when friends need new podcasts to listen to. Just start listening; you’ll be sold.

Despite listening to hundreds of podcasts for many years, I’ve never taken time to write a review (although, I should given how many of these stories have brought me joy), I felt absolutely compelled to write this. I came upon this podcast via Criminal specifically the latest episodes on the Yellowstone wolves. Over the last few days, I’ve listened to so many of these episodes, and cried or smiled or both. They bring such joy and assurance that there is still positivity, love and hope in the world. If you just can’t with the news anymore, give this podcast a try and renew your faith in love, life and the future. Thank you to the host and producers for this very special podcast. And thank you to the subjects for participating and letting your stories be heard.

I could listen to her read the phone book, but thankfully she creates the most magical podcasts that I relished over and over! The wolves and the swimmer who swam with the baby whale are my absolute favorites! Thank you, Phoebe and crew!

I love Phoebe’s voice, and I love every episode so far. At first I sometimes would think, well, this is kind of an ordinary story, big deal— and then something would shift and go deeper and I was hooked. It’s like with Criminal— the definition of what fits under the “crime” umbrella can be almost anything, including miscreant animals. So it is with love. Now I just trust her to lead me somewhere with humor and respect and insightful questions, and I’m never disappointed. Phoebe and Lauren, keep doing this stellar work!

These two women just get better and better. As their show is on a league of its own,it is a podcast without peer. I love to listen, learn a bunch and laugh.witty, paced writing that is clever and charming. I wish I lived in London. I feel quite surely we’d hit it off as mates!

It is a rare episode of This is Love that doesn’t give me a little case of the sniffles and a good chuckle. Thank you Phoebe

I love this podcast—-uplifting—sometimes profound—always intriguing

Loved the Wimbledon episode. Why no nod to the movie Field of Dreams? Both featured charming farmers inexplicably following their inner voices and plowing under Iowa corn to build beautiful, green fields for their dreams.

This is my favorite podcast. It makes me so happy. It’s very uplifting and I always look forward to listening to the new one.

There aren’t enough positive superlatives that can be linked to Phoebe Judge. Her writing, thoughts and interview style are like nothing else in any podcast today.

I truly enjoy this podcast. Phoebe and team find such unique and interesting stories. I’ve learned a lot of things in listening over the years. I could listen to Phoebe’s voice all day long.

Enjoyed this pod. Just a note: Not WimbleTON it is WimbleDON. ☺️

It’s no surprise that Phoebe and her team have created another great podcast! I’m a big fan of Criminal, and have been enjoying this newer podcast very much as well. Her interviewing skills are excellent and the production quality is stellar!

Do not sleep on this podcast! It’s been a wonderful joy listening to the wide variety of shows that encompass This Is Love. The stories range and bounce from intriguing, kind, genuine, emotional, to heartfelt, interesting, just plain lovely and more. I ish there was a Patreon, I would gladly support a membership 🩷

This show is great! I enjoy the stories, Phobe’s voice and thoughtful interview style and the exploration of love in various forms. No matter the question, love is the answer.
