  1. L+R Presents: Heavyweight

    Show notes

    Here’s a preview of the new season of Heavyweight, Jonathan Goldstein’s quest to help people

    face moments from their lives that they haven’t been able to let go of and make them right.

    When Jenna was eight years old, she was taken from her mom and placed with a foster family

    called the Grizzles. For two and a half years, she built a life with them, and when they asked to

    adopt her, Jenna was thrilled. But then, abruptly, the Grizzles changed their minds. Three

    decades later, Jenna still wonders: What happened? Find more episodes of Heavyweight

  15. Blood Memory, Coming Feb 2! Trailer

    Show notes

    The motto of the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang is “blood in, blood out."

    During his 45 years in prison, Michael Thompson became one of the few people to leave the white supremacist gang alive — and to testify against it. But is Thompson a gentle soul trapped by a broken system, or, as his critics claim, a master manipulator who can’t be trusted?

    Blood Memory, a new series from Love + Radio, grapples with that question. Winner of the Best Independent Nonfiction Audio Award at the 2025 Tribeca Festival.

    The new season unfolds February 2. Subscribers can listen to the entire series a week early though, just sayin'.

  16. Morning Splendor

    Show notes

    I've been pretty obsessed with the idea of forgiveness the last few years, trying to tease apart when it empowers and when it becomes something that appeases the worst kind of behavior. So when my friend Katy told me about Wilma Derksen, a woman who chose forgiveness in the face of unimaginable tragedy, I had to figure out how she was able to do it.
