Love in Public

Abril Soewarso-Rivera

Love in Public explores the geography of conversation. With an emphasis on radical listening, this podcast stretches us to expand our ways of knowing and lean into the ripple effect of a question. What does curiosity crack open? How do patterns and people make up a person’s identity? How do we commune with our creativity, grief, culture, and connections? Asking more questions than it answers, Love in Public gives pulse to human storytelling that honors the space between us all.
