STORIES by Lea Thau

Love Hurts — Two Years Later


Listen Later

Lea revisits her own love life. Two years ago, Lea produced "Love Hurts," a series about her ill-fated adventures in online dating. Lea had been online dating for four years since she'd found herself single with an infant in her late 30s. The same week the first "Love Hurts" episode went live, Lea met a man, and a year ago, they posted an anniversary episode they'd recorded for the one-year anniversary of their meeting and of the Love Hurts series. Now they're back with a two-year anniversary update, and things don't turn out as planned. To say the least. 

The original Love Hurts series had four epsiodes which were dowloaded millions of times and  was the most popular series Lea has ever created. Only the first of those episodes is available here, the others are for paying subscribers only (who get access to the entire Strangers archive, ad-free). You can join for $5 at Leasplace.substack.com or Leasplace.supercast.com.
