Ty & Stanislav
Ty and Stanislav met by pure chance, in the middle of the night, at a party on a tropical island. Ty spots her dream man across the dancefloor and Stanislav, enticed by her carefree dancing, offers her a sweet treat. As the sun rises over the ocean, so do the couples' feelings that this could be more than a holiday fling.

JJ & Janelle
JJ & Janelle connected through their love of the beautiful game. Too shy to strike up initial conversation, a surprise football match on TV breaks the ice. Inviting Janelle to join his fantasy football league, JJ finds a way to keep the spark alive despite the space between them. Eventually, Janelle fans the flames with a playful snapchat, but it's not until the last minute of extra time that they secure promotion for their relationship.
For every episode of Equal Parts, an illustrator creates an impression of the story. Niamh Lehane painted a watercolour for JJ & Janelle's story. Visit www.equalpartspodcast.co.uk/artwork to see all the artwork so far.

Amir & Aamir
Overcoming bad first impressions. Amir and Aamir were introduced by a mutual friend, but hopes of a connection were short-lived as their personalities clashed from the start. Over a series of nights out with mates that wouldn't quit, the two realise their differences could actually entwine to form a strong foundation for a future together.
For each episode of Equal Parts, an illustrator creates an impression of the story. This week Danielle Casimiro is behind the bright and pattern-rich art. Visit www.equalpartspodcast.co.uk/artwork to see her piece, and the full gallery for this season.

Clare & Randy
Clare and Randy drifted into each others' orbit through a shared enthusiasm for space exploration. As ground-breaking images of Pluto came into focus, so did their feelings. Trusting her instincts, Clare booked a ticket to travel halfway across the world to meet the man she had only seen through a screen, and Randy planned a mega road trip to delight in earthly wonders with his future wife.
For every episode of Equal Parts, I ask an artist to create an impression of the story. This week’s tale has been immortalised in a sweet illustration by Big Aart. You can view all Equal Parts artwork at www.equalpartspodcast.co.uk/artwork

Amaka & Toby
Amaka and Toby were always in each others lives, but never saw anything more than friendship. That is, until a meddling brother and their strong shared faith planted the seed of possibility. Finally accepting what she thought was an innocent holiday invitation to Denmark, Amaka had no idea that Toby had a much more serious purpose for her trip.
Original artwork is created for each episode of Equal Parts - using the audio alone as inspiration. Sharna Neil created an illustration for Amaka & Toby's story, using vines as a metaphor for their developing and interconnecting love. You can see the piece at www.equalpartspodcast.co.uk/artwork alongside all of the artwork for the season so far.

Warm and relevant love stories to bring a smile
Loved the first season and couldn’t wait for the second. It’s even better and goes from strength to strength. So beautifully produced and a real feel-good podcast.
Just brilliant!
Hopeful, positive and heart warming. Couldn’t love this more!
Highly recommended
Really nicely put together, great stories of everyday people but constructed in a way that keeps you hooked.
