‘Modern Love' Podcast: Gen X? More Like Gen Sex.
'When I actually think of the sex acts that I've been engaging in, I mean, they're good, but they're not so off-the-wall like hanging from chandeliers or by clamps and straps. No, that's not what's going on here. What's going on here is feeling truly sensual and not being abashed about it.' Mireille Silcoff recently wrote an article for The New York Times Magazine titled 'Why Gen X Women Are Having the Best Sex.' At a time of life when many women describe feeling less visible and less desirable, Silcoff said, her life instead 'exploded in a detonation of sex confetti.' On today's episode, Silcoff shares the juicy back story to her popular article, from her coming of age in Montreal to the surprising sexual resurgence she experienced after her divorce. Silcoff reflects on what it feels like to be a highly sexual person in her early 50s and tells us how being part of Gen X is central to her newfound freedom. For an upcoming episode about location sharing, the Modern Love team wants to hear your location-sharing story. Did something happen that made you regret sharing your location with someone? Was there a moment when you were thankful that you had? Where were you? What happened? How did your relationship change as a result? The deadline is May 1. Submission instructions are here.

‘Modern Love' Podcast: Let Yourself Rage With Ada Limón
'I think we'd all be better off if we encountered poetry on a regular basis, because it reminds us to feel, that we're not supposed to numb out, that the weeping and the rage and the grief leads to feeling alive.' As U.S. poet laureate, Ada Limón has had a far-reaching impact. She has visited readers and writers across the country, installed poems at majestic sites in national parks, and she even wrote a poem that's engraved inside a NASA spacecraft on its way to Jupiter. Today on the show, though, our host Anna Martin talks with Limón about something more personal and intimate: What happens when writers fall hopelessly in love. She reads a Modern Love essay about a novelist whose debilitating crush on a poet gives her a bad case of writer's block (before leaving her with a badly broken heart). Limón also tells Anna why feeling anger and grief when we're despairing can be the path to feeling more alive, and she explains why a pair of old sweatpants belong in a love poem as much as bees and flowers do. Ada Limón's recent book, 'You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World' can be found here. Lily King's Modern Love essay, 'An Empty Heart Is One That Can Be Filled' can be found here.

‘Modern Love' Podcast: My Brother Has Schizophrenia. This Is How I Love Him.
'The very budding doctor part of me is thinking, OK, so when somebody has something that's wrong, we start thinking about why. What is it? What could it be?' Growing up, Jamie Shandro was interested in science, while her younger brother, Tim, liked art. When they were in their twenties, they both landed in Seattle: Jamie for medical school and Tim for art school. They were closer than ever. But as Jamie was finishing up a rotation in psychiatry, Tim started behaving strangely. In this episode of Modern Love, Jamie tells the story of the frightening onset of her little brother's mental illness and the parts of his personality and creativity that remain. Plus, she talks about how helping Tim has shaped her, as a person, and a doctor. This episode is adapted from Jamie Shandro's 2025 essay My Brother Has Schizophrenia. This Is How I Love Him.

‘Modern Love' Podcast: How Orville Peck Got Addicted to Love and Came Out the Other Side
'That's the beautiful thing about art, it releases an emotion that we're yearning for. It's all yearning.' If you know one thing about the country musician Orville Peck, it's probably that he wears a mask. Peck has long kept himself shrouded in mystery, shielding his face from the public and revealing few details about his past. His music, however, is full of emotional honesty and vulnerability — he told the Modern Love podcast that most of his lyrics are about his life — and his songs are imbued with a deep sense of longing. In this episode, Peck talks about why country music uniquely captures our complicated feelings about love, and why love and pain are so often intertwined. He reads a Modern Love essay, 'Strung Out on Love and Checked In for Treatment' by Rachel Yoder, about love addiction, and discusses what it takes to pull yourself from its distressing grip.
