Our Editor's Take

The True Love podcast is a wild soap opera experience with over-the-top characters and no end of juicy storylines. But most of all, it's full of romance. Amber Reauchean Williams and Malcolm Barrett host this scripted series. It shares scandalous stories and gets serious about real life's obstacles and challenges.

Each season, the hosts provide voice overs for love stories from exotic settings around the world. That could mean romance in the halls of power in Washington D.C. It could mean intriguing liaisons on the glamorous movie sets of Hollywood. In each episode, they share the ins and outs, the secrets, lies, and truths of how messy true love can be. There are shocks, surprises, and suspense. There is laughter and tears. But through it all, there is never a dull moment.

New episodes come out every week, each with as much excitement and passion as the last. The characters' stories grips the listeners, leaving them wanting to know more while they wait for the next episode to air. It is an ideal podcast for a hopeless romantic or anyone who loves a good juicy story. And it is a perfect listen during a morning commute or even while doing housework.
