Redux: There's Just One Thing
This episode was originally released on May 26, 2018.
In this "rapid fire" episode, the Sugars read letters from four women who each have one not-so-tiny reservation about the men they’re dating. A Black woman is dating a white man who is unwilling to talk about race issues, claiming that she’s “too sensitive.” Another woman’s boyfriend, a Christian, is having second thoughts about dating her because she’s an atheist. The Sugars tackle these issues and more, and weigh in on which can be ironed out and which should be deal breakers. -
Episodes We Love: 'Head Or The Heart' Update
This episode was originally published on August 12th, 2016.
The Sugars hear the latest from "Head or the Heart" -- a woman who'd fallen head over heels for a man with a troubled childhood. Everything seemed perfect, and yet, she couldn't help but wonder if the traumas of her love's past would surface at some point in their relationship.
"Head or the Heart" became the first letter-writer ever to join the Sugars on the show. The Sugars asked her to write to them in six months to let them know how -- and if -- things were going with her boyfriend. Nine months letter, she sent an update.
So, are they still together? Have any of his past traumas manifested in their relationship? The Sugars find out. -

Dear Sugars Presents: "Beyond All Repair", a new murder mystery podcast
Introducing Beyond All Repair, a new WBUR podcast from producer emeritus of Dear Sugars, Amory Sivertson. This series tells the story of a murder, but also the woman who was accused of that murder, Sophia.
Sophia was newly married and 6 months pregnant when she was charged with murdering her mother-in-law in 2002. She gave birth to a son in jail that she hasn’t seen since, and for the last three years, she’s been telling me her story in hopes of getting justice for her mother-in-law, of having a chance of meeting her son, and of finally being believed.
This is the first chapter of Beyond All Repair. Episode 2 is already waiting for you. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. -

The Sugars' conversation on friendship continues with a handful of letters concerning male-female friendships. Is there such a thing as a platonic relationship between a heterosexual man and woman?

All time favorite
Cheryl and Steve helped me to find my true self and stand up for myself. Both of them are so respecful, empathic, sensitive and smart. Cheryl is an example for an empowered woman who did not let herself take down by all the bad things that happend but found her strength in them. Steve is the kind of man you would want every man to be like. I love, love this podcast and can't imagine my life without it!
Einer der besten Podcasts
Ich höre diesen Podcast nun schon seit vielen Monaten.
Die beiden Host Cheryl und Steve besprechen in jeder Episode einen oder mehrere Briefe ihrer Hörer zu einem bestimmten, meist sehr emotionalen Thema. Oft wird ein Experte (das kann ein Psychologe, ein Buchautor oder einfach ein Blogger sein) angerufen und zu seinen Gedanken über das Thema und die Briefe interviewt.
Sehr gute Sprachqualität und professionelle Gestaltung. Auch für mich als Deutsche ist fast alles Gesprochene gut verständlich.
Ein ganz klarer Favorit.
Awesome
Love it.
