A thoughtful look at love and sex – podcasts of the week
by Hannah J Davies, Hannah Verdier and Nicholas Alexa from on (#5DSDY)
Jacob Hawley hosts On Love, a follow-up to his series On Drugs. Plus: politics meets rock music, and Reply All investigate the unrest at food website Bon Appetit
Jacob Hawley On Love
Following on from On Drugs - which examined our relationship with narcotics, from criminality to chemsex - comedian Hawley hosts another thought-provoking audio series for the BBC, this time looking at love, sex, dating and associated themes, from intimacy coordination on TV to OnlyFans. It's not exactly a new area for podcasting, but Hawley is a thoughtful guide, and his guests are full of insight - not least actor Tyger Drew-Honey, whose parents made their fortune in the porn industry.
