More Than Roses is a scripted fiction podcast that adapts and sculpts radio dramas about love from plays, short stories, novellas and poetry. Often atypical and always character-centric, these stories eschew tropes and conventions, illustrating love from a diverse array of perspectives and experiences. Each story may start with its own circumstance and avenue to romance, but each finds its own way of showing- just like a bouquet, that every shape love takes is uniquely striking.
