We like to think of Love Hate Relationship as a mixture of Oprah’s Favorite Things, Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons, and Dr. Ruth.
Each episode is simple:
First, one of us dives into a topic or subject that we deeply love. The kind of topic varies from pop culture to media to sports to habits and practices and anything that strikes us as loveable. Maybe we’ll talk about our favorite musicals or musicians, and maybe we’ll discuss comic books or stories from history or philosophies. It’s our podcast, we do what we want.
Afterward, the other, non-love host brings up a subject of hate. Here, we want to be more careful. We aren’t interested in being mean-spirited, cruel, cynical, or troll-ish. Rather, we want to take the issues that bother us and unpack why it is that we feel the world would be a better place if this were removed or solved or tried for treason and/or war crimes. Maybe it’s an annoyance, like a loud fandom or meme we just don’t get because the slow crawl toward death is rendering us awful. Maybe it’s a political subject we think is gnawing at the ethical center of our society. Maybe it’s coconut, because coconut is gross.
Finally, we close out with a question from you, one of our fantastic listeners. You send us a relationship problem, be it with a partner, a family member, an enemy sworn to vengeance, or the podiatrist who keeps telling you to quit dancing and won’t listen when you insist the rhythm lives within you. We take all queries as long as they’re about you and at least one other organic lifeform.

HEADS UP TO ALL Y’ALL: We swear on this podcast. A lot. So parental discretion, watch out for little ears if you got ’em, etc. etc.
