  1. Lindz & Zebib

    21/03/2023

    Lindz & Zebib

    Lindz met Zebib on her last night in town, after Zebib had demanded a poem as a conversation starter. It turns out Lindz was the perfect candidate for such a task, and their date sparked with poetic connections and shared idols. Neither wanted this one special night to be the only night, so defying friends’ expectations Zebib hopped on a plane to spend more time with Lindz, and the pair laid the foundations for their long-distance relationship. This final episode of Equal Parts was turned into art by Gina Stavrou, who recreated the cosiness of this story in a beautiful piece.

  2. Maria & Oliver

    14/03/2023

    Maria & Oliver

    Maria knew how to play the online dating game, while Oliver had no suitable photos, and very little experience of ‘the rules’. She thought he was too keen; he thought they wouldn’t gel in real life. But, as the rain poured around their first date bubble, they lost themselves in easy conversation, and a subtle move from Oliver shifted the atmosphere from friendly to romantic.  In this special edition of Equal Parts, our host shares her own relationship story.  Every episode of Equal Parts is accompanied by a piece of original artwork. Savannah Storm is behind the ink piece for Maria & Oliver’s story, and can be seen at www.equalpartspodcast.co.uk/artwork, or on socials using #EqualPartsPodcast. Follow Savannah on Instagram to see more of her work.

    Shell & Alex

    Alex was Shell’s boss, but she didn’t realise it at first. Lucky he was so easy-going; not only did he laugh off their first combative interaction, but that same playfulness sparked the start of their relationship. Envious colleagues and wary parents couldn’t dissuade this couple from progressing, and sixteen years later, they’ve proven that young love can indeed be true love.  Each episode of Equal Parts is turned into an illustration by a different artist. This week’s piece is by Eleanor Hardiman, who made one specific item from Shell & Alex’s story larger than life. Look for #EqualPartsPodcast to find it on socials, or visit www.equalpartspodcast.co.uk/artwork to see this piece, and all the art for the show.

    Gabe & Krystina

    Gabe & Krystina must have been pushed together by a higher power. Finding themselves in adjacent seats on an eight hour flight, they do a rare thing and actually speak to each other. Well, Gabe speaks to Krystina, determined to charm her. By the time they land, energies have shifted, and it's clear to all around this isn't going to be the end of the story. An illustrator creates a piece of original artwork for each episode of Equal Parts. Tinuke Fagborun made a colourful, dreamy piece to accompany Gabe & Krystina’s story.

    Louise & Luke

    Louise & Luke both took a plunge, signing up for an early dating app after hearing about it in the same place. A series of bizarre messages later, they decide to meet… in a very unconventional location. Now, the nerves of that first meeting are well in the past, as they become each other’s greatest cheerleader and embrace all their eccentric interests.

    Andy & Evin

    Andy & Evin were brought together through their love of cosplay, and a group of pushy friends who were determined to complete their set of characters. But there came a point where one of them realised they’d had enough of playing a character outside of fantasy adventures at the weekend. As both of our protagonists embrace their true selves, the rewards are rich: freedom, love, and a magical ring. An illustrator creates a piece of original artwork for each episode of Equal Parts. Becky Appleyard created a playful depiction of today’s story.
