Welcome to Season 4 of Unspoken, a spoken word poetry podcast by Kate Earley.

This season is called Love Stories Without Romance, and it explores the deep bonds of friendship—the connections that save us, shape us, and sometimes, leave us behind.

Through powerful spoken word poems, Kate shares stories of friendship, grief, heartbreak, and healing. These are love stories without romance: friendships that became home, relationships that offered comfort and belonging, and the heartbreak of losing someone who wasn’t supposed to leave.

If you’ve ever lost a best friend, felt the ache of being left out, or wondered how something so meaningful could disappear without a goodbye, these poems will speak to you.

Season 4 is about honoring the friendships that changed us—whether they stayed or not.

These are the words we never got to say.

This is Unspoken.
