Love Bites
by Heritage Radio Network
Why and how do we love? Jacqueline Raposo and Ben Rosenblatt speak with authors, hospitality folks, psychologists, artists, and niche-based experts of all kinds in a humor-filled and heart-tugging examination of love in all its glorious, bewildering complexity. Every week, they get to the core of intimate moments that challenge what we think we know of love - experiences of loss, the growth that comes from new beginnings, the compromises and triumphs of long-term commitment, the loneliness of singledom - in hopes that the varying experiences of fascinating human beings can help them and others love more bravely and generously, every day. Tune in Mondays at 4pm ET on Heritage Radio Network. www.LoveBitesRadio.com and on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram as @lovebitesradio.
