About us

What is the loveless world?

In a world where lovelessness often feels like the norm, The Loveless World is a heartfelt narrative podcast that dares to rekindle the transformative power of love.

Inspired by bell hooks' timeless call for a return to love as an act of will, intention, and action, we share intimate, one-of-a-kind stories from everyday people in your community whose lives have been touched—or forever changed—by deliberate acts of love.

Each episode invites a new guest to share their personal journey, guided by our host(s) with care and curiosity. Through evocative storytelling, immersive ambient sounds, and emotive music, we bring these stories to life, capturing the beauty of love in its many forms—romantic, platonic, familial, communal, and beyond.

Our Mission

  • Celebrate Diverse Expressions of Love: Love is more than romance. It's the bond between friends, the care within families, the solidarity in communities. We showcase the full spectrum of love's expressions.
  • Highlight Love as an Act: Love isn't just a feeling to chase—it's a choice, a deliberate act that shapes lives. Our stories center on intentional moments of love that ripple outward.
  • Challenge Cynicism: In an age where love can feel naive or out of reach, we share stories that prove love is a source of strength, empowerment, and hope.

In a time flooded with negativity and division, The Loveless World offers a sanctuary of hope and connection. As our world navigates rapid change and new challenges, we believe stories of love can remind us of our shared humanity. This podcast is an invitation to pause, listen, and rediscover the profound impact of love in our lives—one story at a time.
