Valentine’s Day is old news, but some of us still have love on the brain. If you missed our live show on Feb. 14 at the Wilbur Theater in Boston, or want to relive it, you’ve come to the right place.
First, hear the Modern Love editor Daniel Jones revisit his 2015 essay “How We Write About Love,” in which he shares the lessons he has learned in his 12 years editing the column. Follow him on Twitter.
Then Emmy Rossum — a Modern Love podcast veteran — reads “Swearing Off the Modern Man,” by Jochebed Smith, about finding “face-to-face,” “hold-it-in-your-hands” romance in the social media age. Ms. Smith was a finalist in the last Modern Love College Essay Contest. You can follow Ms. Rossum and Ms. Smith on Twitter. And if you’re in college, enter this year’s contest.
