The truth comes out on this one. Laura doesn't love Beyonce. Yoni deals. We still talk about The Carters for a long time, and then Laura's Kishi Bashi pick reminds us what really matters.

No punk this time. Promise. You'll probably like Laura's Lola Marsh song. You might like Yoni's Natalie Prass. I mean, Laura doesn't, but you might. These songs gave us a lot to talk about.

What do a lovely Laura Marling song and a raucous Joyce Manor song have in common? It's not just that they're love songs, y'all. They're basically about the same thing. We break it down while enjoying each other's company. Please join us.

It's Season Two! Thanks for your patience as we went into podcast hibernation. Leon Bridges kicks it off with a pretty traditional love song, and then Laura brazenly takes on Bon Iver, somehow connecting the two. And that's what Love Songs the Podcast is all about.

We test our thesis that all songs are love songs this week with a Big Thief song about an old friend and a Nathaniel Rateliff song about personal struggle. Don't worry - we did it. They're also love songs. Join our conversation about stardust, rabies, and not knowing anything. It's good!

Happy New Year! Our winter break - and these two songs - have helped remind us that we are good to each other and that it feels good to fall back into place. Beach House and Whilk and Misky's cover of "So Good to Me" provide this week's inspiration.

It's our first ever holiday special! We can stretch the definition of hanukkah song even farther than our definition of love song. Disclosure and James Blake w/Justin Vernon help us usher in the Festival of Lights. Happy Hanukkah!

There's a theme here, as we "Go" and then "Remain." Laura's Gracie and Rachel pick transitions so smoothly into Yoni's Jay Som song, you'd think it was planned or something. Listen with us as we once again talk about music, love, and crepuscular creatures.

Today Laura heard a Raury track that immediately became vital as it says a lot about putting more love in the world. And Yoni's song has no words, because all he wants to listen to right now is Four Tet, so there.

Work-spouses, synchronicity, exploding stars, dappled ponies...we discuss all these and more on episode 11 of Love Songs the Podcast. This week, one of us couldn't stop listening to the Kurt Vile/Courtney Barnett collaboration, while one of us didn't ever want to listen to that and instead was listening to a lovely Ben Zaidi song.
