“I’ve tried and cannot appreciate the new host and format. The essay is the point and not interviewing actors.
I’m trying to get used to the new format. I liked the original format which kept the podcast to the essence of the story read by various readers. Now sometimes the story isn’t even...”Read full review »

“Still listen occasionally but the show has lost the charming simplicity that made it great. Now it is often confusing and the essays no longer feel central.”

“Please for the love of god read the freaking essay. I hate sitting through 20 mins of an episode having to wonder if an essay will even get read when that should be a requirement.”

“I’ve been a long time listener. The current show is only tangentially related the column. The Andrew Garfield episode, where he talked/cried over the essay, convinced me to unsubscribe.”

“I guess NYTimes wants listeners to instead read their stories and get subscriptions but we already pay for the content! Just read the stories first and then have your discussions! How are we supposed to know what the story is about without listening to it first and not everyone has the time to...”Read full review »

“I listened to the episode w Andrew Garfield once and then immediately listened to it again for a second time. The chemistry and vulnerability. So fun. So good. One of my top 5 fave podcast episodes ever now”

“Love the podcast for the actual modern love stories, but all the chit chat on either end of the story is so dull. I’m here for the story, not the interview that Anna does or the review the editor does at the end. Get rid of the fat and keep the meat!”

“This podcast has become almost too cringey to listen to. Echoing others, yes the new format has a lot to do with it. But honestly, the cringe factor is what’s making me have to stop listening. It’s not about the stories any more. It’s about the interviewer/interviewees inserting their opinions...”Read full review »

“I was an avid listener of Modern Love. My favorite episodes are Not So Simple Math and In the Waiting Room of Estranged Spouses. Now that Lance Reddick is gone, this is one of my favorite ways to remember him.
I tuned into a newer episode when I saw a post about Andrew Garfield. The first thing...”Read full review »

“Didn’t expect him to be so deep, wise and spiritual. TBH I’m not familiar with his works, but from the side he seemed like a kinda shallow person. I’m glad to get to know him better, I really loved his vulnerability and openheartedness.”

“Modern Love is so wonderful. I looked forward to every episode. Real stories told by the people who lived them…it was just perfect.
I have no idea why they decided to drag a bunch of famous people into it. It’s cool that they’re still reading the stories of regular people, but it’s not the...”Read full review »

“纽约时报的专栏给了一个更多元更深入的视角来讨论人与人之间的情感，有些在身边，有些在世界的另一边。这些故事充满着酸甜苦辣，但非常真实～十分推荐的节目！”

Additionally, the host’s new hyper-fixation on a long winded discussion and leading questions distracts and takes away from the whole...”Read full review »

“Can we PLEASE get the old format back? I loved the real stories from unknown individuals read by them & loved when you brought them in person.
This new format of public figures recounting, with all due respect to them, does not feel as organic.”
