That Love Podcast

That Love Podcast presents: American Bollywood — Episode 2

Format/Genre: A cinematic coming-of-age audio rom-com and romantic audio drama combining first love, friendship, Bollywood dance, family complications and one wonderfully impossible plan.

Logline: Determined to learn the language of dance before Miles Pires Shah disappears from her life, Izzy Lopez finally finds a teacher willing to believe in her — only to discover that chasing the boy of her dreams comes with a £2,000 price tag and the frightening possibility that Miles may finally be starting to notice her.

Izzy Lopez returns to Gloria Okafor after being rejected by four different dance teachers, but this time she finally has an answer to Gloria’s question. She wants to dance because Miles Pires Shah finds something in movement that Izzy has never been able to express with words, and if she can learn that language, perhaps she can finally reach him. Gloria agrees to teach her, beginning what promises to be one of the most difficult dance-training relationships either of them has ever experienced.
The first lesson confirms something everybody already suspected: Izzy is spectacularly terrible. Gloria, however, believes that technique can be built around whatever spark exists inside her, and promises that if there is something there, she will find it and turn Izzy into someone capable of making Miles stop and look.
Then comes the catch. Gloria’s training requires a £2,000 deposit, leaving Izzy with an impossible financial problem, no real savings and the sudden realisation that learning to dance may require far more than determination. But just as the dream begins to feel further away, a quiet encounter at a bus stop finally gives Izzy something she has wanted for years: a genuine conversation with Miles.
For a few brief moments, Miles laughs with her, remembers her name and allows Izzy to see beneath the carefully controlled version of himself he shows everyone else. Izzy leaves believing she still has a long way to go before Miles truly sees her — unaware that a forgotten red scarf may already have given him a reason to look twice.
American Bollywood Episode 2 deepens this romantic podcast into a story about perseverance, vulnerability and those tiny moments when two people who have always existed in the same world finally begin moving toward each other.

That Love Podcast presents: American Bollywood — Episode 1: His Name Is Miles Pires Shah

Format/Genre: A warm, cinematic coming-of-age audio rom-com and romantic audio drama about first love, impossible dreams, Bollywood dancing, friendship, family, and finding the courage to finally be seen.

Logline: When bookish high-school senior Izzy Lopez learns that Miles Pires Shah — the boy she has secretly loved for years — is leaving town in just eight weeks, she decides that confessing her feelings is far too simple and instead creates an outrageous plan to learn Bollywood dancing and win his heart before time runs out.

Izzy Lopez has been completely, inconveniently in love with Miles Pires Shah for years, but she has never found the courage to tell him. When her best friend Selena reveals that Miles’s parents have separated and he will soon be moving to Florida with his mother, Izzy suddenly has just fifty-six days to stop being the girl watching him from a distance and become someone he might finally see.
After some highly questionable reconnaissance, Izzy discovers that dancing — and Bollywood in particular — connects Miles to his mother, his childhood and a part of himself that means far more than she realised. That discovery inspires an extraordinary plan: learn Bollywood choreography, perform at the school prom and show Miles exactly how much he means to her. There is only one small complication — according to almost everyone unfortunate enough to watch her try, Izzy Lopez is catastrophically bad at dancing.
Rejected by teacher after teacher, Izzy refuses to surrender and eventually finds her way to Gloria Okafor, an experienced dance teacher who asks her a much harder question than whether she can dance: why does she want to dance at all? Izzy may not have the answer yet, but for the first time in her life she is doing something that genuinely scares her — and perhaps that is where this love story really begins.
American Bollywood Episode 1 launches a funny, heartfelt audio romance about first love, teenage courage and the ridiculous things we are sometimes willing to do for the person who makes our heart beat differently.

That Love Podcast presents: American Bollywood — Official Trailer

Format/Genre: A cinematic coming-of-age audio rom-com and romantic audio drama about first love, impossible dreams, Bollywood dancing, friendship, family, and finding the courage to finally be seen.

Logline: When high-school senior Izzy Lopez discovers that Miles Pires Shah — the boy she has secretly loved for years — is leaving town in just eight weeks, she creates an outrageous plan to learn Bollywood dancing, perform at prom, and make him fall in love with her before time runs out.

AMERICAN BOLLYWOOD — OFFICIAL TRAILER

His name is Miles Pires Shah.

Izzy Lopez has loved him from a distance for years, but she has never found the courage to tell him how she feels. Then everything changes when Izzy discovers that Miles is leaving town in only eight weeks, giving her fifty-six days to do something she has spent years avoiding: make sure he finally sees her.

Her solution is completely reasonable.

Learn Bollywood dancing.

Perform at the school prom.

Make Miles Pires Shah fall hopelessly in love with her.

There is just one fairly serious problem.

Izzy cannot dance.

As Izzy throws herself into an impossible eight-week challenge, she enters a world of disastrous dance lessons, unexpected friendships, family complications, romantic misunderstandings and feelings that refuse to follow her carefully constructed plan. What begins as an attempt to win one boy’s heart slowly becomes something much bigger — a journey about confidence, identity, friendship, first love and discovering that becoming worthy of someone else may matter far less than believing you were already enough.

American Bollywood is a warm, funny and emotional love story podcast filled with romantic tension, Bollywood-inspired energy, coming-of-age chaos and characters searching for the courage to tell the truth about what they really want.

Sometimes getting someone to finally see you begins with learning to see yourself.

American Bollywood begins September 7th on That Love Podcast.

That Love Podcast presents: American Bollywood — Official Pre-Trailer Special

Format/Genre: A cinematic romantic audio drama and coming-of-age audio rom-com about first love, impossible plans, friendship, family, and one teenager’s determination to dance her way into the heart of the boy she loves.

Logline: When bookish high-school senior Izzy Lopez discovers that Miles Pires Shah — the boy she has secretly loved for years — is leaving town in eight weeks, she creates an outrageous plan to learn Bollywood dancing, perform for him at prom, and finally make him see her before it is too late.

American Bollywood is almost here.

Izzy Lopez has spent years loving Miles Pires Shah from a safe distance, but everything changes when she learns that Miles is leaving town in just eight weeks. Faced with the terrifying possibility that he could disappear from her life without ever knowing how she feels, Izzy decides that simply telling him the truth would apparently be far too sensible.

Instead, she makes a plan: learn Bollywood dancing, perform an unforgettable routine at the school prom, and somehow convince Miles to fall in love with her.

There is only one very significant problem — Izzy cannot dance.

As she searches for a teacher willing to take on what may be an impossible challenge, Izzy begins a journey filled with disastrous dance lessons, unexpected friendships, family complications, romantic near-misses, and the growing realization that winning Miles may not be the only thing at stake.

American Bollywood is a warm, funny and emotional audio romance about chasing first love, taking terrifying chances, and discovering who you might become when you finally stop watching life from the sidelines.

This special pre-trailer gives listeners their first taste of the world of American Bollywood before the official trailer arrives on September 3.

Then, on September 7, the story begins.

Format/Genre: A warm and self-deprecating stand-up comedy audio series about adulthood, impossible dreams, family, ageing, ambition, and learning to laugh at yourself.

Logline: At 37, Joao Nsita decides it might finally be time to pursue his destiny as a dancer—but his knees, his back, his childhood memories, and almost every piece of furniture in his home have serious concerns.

Episode Summary:
While everyone around him seems to be buying houses, having children, and advancing their careers, Joao Nsita arrives at a slightly different conclusion about his future: he should become a dancer. There is only one small obstacle—Joao has no training, no choreography, questionable coordination, and a body that would apparently prefer advance notice before attempting anything athletic. As he imagines auditions, professional performances, childhood conversations with his mother, and the reality of watching himself dance in the mirror, his ambitious dream becomes a hilarious battle between unstoppable confidence and deeply realistic knees.

I Want to Be a Dancer is a heartfelt and laugh-out-loud episode of Spinning Jokes about chasing dreams at any age, accepting your limitations, and finding comedy in the distance between who you imagine yourself to be and what the mirror actually shows you. Warm, relatable, and full of personality, it gives fans of That Love Podcast another side of a creative world that includes comedy, romantic podcasts, love story podcasts, audio romance, and original audio drama.

Format/Genre: An energetic observational comedy audio series blending stand-up storytelling, football humour, British comedy, and hilariously exaggerated personal confessions.

Logline: Watching a World Cup Final without England leaves Joao Nsita feeling like the forgotten older child at a family gathering—and suddenly supporting the beautiful game means hoping absolutely nobody has a good time.

Episode Summary:
Joao Nsita sits down to watch the World Cup Final expecting football's biggest celebration, but there is one problem: England are not there. As the competing teams enjoy their moment on the world's biggest stage, Joao finds himself becoming increasingly jealous of the attention, excitement, and celebration surrounding everyone else. What follows is a wonderfully petty journey through football fandom as Joao imagines the painfully boring final he secretly wishes everyone could experience.

The Jealous Older Child is a Spinning Jokes episode about football, hope, disappointment, national pride, and the completely irrational emotions that sport brings out in otherwise sensible adults. Combining sharp stand-up comedy with personal storytelling, it adds another comic dimension to the That Love Podcast world of original audio drama, romantic podcast series, audio romance, love stories, and comedy entertainment.

Format/Genre: A comedy audio series featuring stand-up storytelling, awkward dating encounters, romantic misadventures, and painfully relatable social embarrassment.

Logline: Desperate to impress a beautiful woman in a pub, Joao Nsita tells one tiny lie about being a banker—only to discover that pretending to understand finance comes with some very dangerous follow-up questions.

Episode Summary:
Joao Nsita is feeling confident when he approaches a beautiful woman at a pub and manages to make her laugh. But when he notices her looking toward a group of sharply dressed men, he decides that honesty might not be impressive enough and casually announces that he is a banker. What begins as a harmless attempt to make himself sound successful quickly becomes an increasingly complicated conversation about banking, mortgages, interest rates, and financial concepts Joao is spectacularly unprepared to explain.

I'm a Banker is a hilarious Spinning Jokes story about dating confidence, insecurity, first impressions, and the dangerous consequences of telling a lie you have not properly researched. Blending romantic comedy with stand-up humour, this episode offers a lighter side of the That Love Podcast catalogue for fans of comedy podcasts, romantic podcast stories, audio romance, and character-driven audio entertainment.

Logline: After realizing that strangers seem to bond instantly whenever they have Joao Nsita to gossip about, Joao discovers the perfect business opportunity—becoming the human icebreaker who saves terrible first dates.

Episode Summary:
Joao Nsita considers himself a popular man because whenever he enters a room, people immediately start talking about him. Unfortunately, he eventually realizes that fame and being the subject of everyone's jokes are not quite the same thing. Instead of letting the discovery destroy his confidence, Joao turns humiliation into entrepreneurship and imagines a dating service unlike anything the romantic world has ever seen.

Logline: When Joao Nsita starts eating healthier and discovers that vegetables might actually make him feel better, he faces an unexpected identity crisis: could he really be on the road to becoming vegan?

Episode Summary:
Joao Nsita never expected chickpeas, carrots, mushrooms, and vegetables to become part of his personality, but healthier eating is beginning to change everything. With more energy, better focus, and the uncomfortable realization that his parents may have been right all along, Joao starts wondering whether this new lifestyle could go even further. Suddenly, supermarket trips feel different, chocolate aisles become places of judgment, and vegetables begin looking suspiciously like lifelong companions.

I Might Turn Vegan is a warm and hilariously self-aware Spinning Jokes episode about growing up, changing habits, and becoming the kind of adult your younger self would never recognize. Part of the wider That Love Podcast universe of comedy, audio drama, audio romance, and character-driven storytelling, this episode finds plenty of laughs in one man's unexpected relationship with healthy living.

After approaching a beautiful woman and winning her over with his best jokes, Joao becomes increasingly convinced that his flirting skills have finally paid off. But when he gathers the courage to ask her on a date, the reaction is bigger, louder, and far more dramatic than anything he could have imagined.

Filled with awkward confidence, romantic miscalculations, and sharp comedy, My Personality Is Breathtaking is a hilarious episode of Spinning Jokes that turns an attempted love story into one unforgettable night. For listeners who enjoy comedy podcasts, romantic podcast storytelling, audio romance with a comic twist, and the character-driven world of That Love Podcast, this episode proves that sometimes making someone laugh is not quite the same as winning their heart.
