    Excellent Podcast
    Lovelink is one of my favorite podcasts. Signe and Simone are so intelligent, and I have learned so much from listening to them and to their diverse guests. They interview guests who are experts in their respective fields and who offer a wealth of knowledge to listeners. A truly excellent podcast that I will continue to listen to. Thank you, Signe and Simone, for doing the work that you do.
  • skanjsbw
    Always looking forward to a new episode
    Such an insightful and interesting podcast! The hosts do a great job of asking important questions to leaders within the filed of relationship/sex psychology. I even go back and relisten to episodes because I get new things out of it every time! Couldn’t recommend enough
  • zq.5t
    Such a valuable podcast!!
    I am so grateful for this podcast, for the questions that are asked and the people that are interviewed. I always learn some thing valuable and always look forward to the next episode!
  • Taylor 76
    Incredible podcast
    If you are looking for deep, fun, and engaging conversations on the various aspects of love and relationships, this is it. The hosts are relatable and ask their guest (all HUGE names) thoughtful questions that prompt conversation that go beyond what you might find in the guests’ writing and lectures. Can’t recommend this enough.
  • thatpritchclaire
    Great podcast. Fantastic subject matter.
    This podcast does a fantastic job connecting timely and relatable issues of modern life with hard science and reputable practitioners. I love the format and would highly recommend!

    Amazing!
    Simone and Signe are bringing such awesome topics to the forefront of discussion and their way of facilitating powerful conversations is amazing to take in and apply to our relationship & lives.
  • kosherkanye
    Has deepened my perspective on sex and relationships
    So invaluable. Truly beautiful sides to all stories that display the complex and magical qualities of relationships with others and more importantly with yourself.
  • south philly lilly
    Real life love
    Thank you for help with real life love. .... the messy, the hurtful, the kinky and the triumph of it all
  • DreDay5
    Thank You
    I came upon your podcast and have listened and taken in what has been talked about by all your guests. I have applied much of what I learned to my marriage.
  • Jeff Bausemer
    My Sunday bath time
    I love this pod, I love Simone and Signe and I’ve gotten a lot from all their episodes. Thank you so much!
  • Erica Kev floagvecb
    So informative and interesting
    Podcast 17 with Effy Blue was amazing. Her insight and experiences combined with the host’s pertinent questions made this one that I had to listen to all the way through.
  • wallacar
    Fascinating podcast on love and intimacy
    New listener and I’ve been binging this podcast. Interesting and insightful guests. Love it!
  • lemcbri
    Amazing
    My favorite podcast of all time. Insightful, honest, applicable. This is such a treat, and I would recommend to anyone!
  • Ijjy2290
    Great guests and topics
    I’m a new listener and on a search of emotional & mental wellness. So far the few episodes I’ve listened to have been informative and interesting. The episodes with Dr. Ham were particularly helpful and I need a therapist like him. How do I find one like him??
  • Drlauraes
    Love lovelink
    Great variety of interesting guests!
  • Laaaauraaaaa
    Inspired
    Really love this! As a human being and fellow therapist I find your podcast incredibly inspiring. Truly amazing guests, too. (Esther Perel?!) Thank you! However, dialogue that’s a little less heteronormative could welcome more listeners and be even more enriching.
  • DrinkerBelle
    Love the depth
    Love the variety and depth of this podcast. Dr. Jacob Ham, Dr. Alexandra Solomon... incredible guests! Listening to these episodes multiple times!! Thank you for diving in and sharing this work!
  • AnnNYC123
    Amazing podcast
    This was one of the first podcasts I started listening too and couldn’t stay. I just found myself wanting to go on long walks and listen. Material is great, guests are great, hosts are kind, intelligent, and warm. Look forward to many more episodes.
  • jdegan31
    I love this podcast
    Such great interviews with fascinating researchers and clinicians. I love the overall style and the topics covered. So informative and engaging!
  • TaraBK33
    Great podcast!
    I love hearing from other therapists about the work they’re doing. Since we all mostly work alone in our offices, hearing other therapist’s stories helps me feel less isolated & more connected.
  • KARLAOC
    Keep going!
    Well done! I like this podcast a lot since it has been helpful to understand relationships. Moreover, the gussets are experts on the topic. My favorite so far is the one about Trauma.
  • Dr. ECS
    Never stop learning
    All the contributors are insightful and have so many years of experience to share. Many OMG Moments!! I learn something in every episode that I can not only use in relationship to others but with myself as well.
  • cool_Kat_13
    Insightful & Enjoyable Podcast!
    I love listening to lovelink - I always come away from the podcast with a lot of food for thought. I think listening to this podcast has helped improve my communication within my relationships.
  • Yung Parabola
    An eye opening podcast
    This podcast gives a great insight on the very complex dynamics of many different kinds of relationships
  • M. Whitewater
    Awesome podcast!
    I love this podcast and have been bingeing it all week. The interviews have opened up my perception of my relationship with my husband as well as my relationship with friends, family, and myself. I love podcasts that get me interested in diving deep into new ideas - I've just emerged from an attachment theory rabbit hole after the last few episodes I listened to. I love how Simone and Signe are knowledgeable, curious, and incredibly accepting and non judgemental of different approaches to intimacy. Keep doing what you're doing ladies! 10/10 would recommend!
  • ZeeDuran
    Ok show
    This show was ok till they could not help it but inject politics and their hate for our president. Obviously show for liberals. Will not listen to any more.
  • Rtipps
    Found you by accident and am enjoying
    Found your podcasts by accident because I was saw something about Dipsea. Listened to that particular podcast and another that really enjoyed and very thought provoking. Thank you
  • laurensewa
    Love this podcast
    Amazing interviews and hosts. Highly recommend!
  • jh4rdy
    Magnificent
    I started looking for podcasts that discussed psychology or masculinity a while back, and originally found Lovelink while looking for some material with Terry Real. I was at first just grateful to find something, and quickly realized I'd stumbled upon a goldmine of a podcast. It's hard for me to contextualize for others just how special of a project this podcast is. At the very least, the episodes give a profound voice to complex and sometimes hard-to-articulate intricacies of relationships and how we navigate them. And for those who are already steeped in the nomenclature, Lovelink is a wonderfully creative and powerful example of what modern insights in therapy, psychology and relationship counseling have to offer.
  • karifry3
    Thank you!
    This podcast is insightful & the interviewers are excellent at asking multifaceted questions. Absolutely love it! X
  • AB, PhD
    Wish could give 10 stars
    Excellent in every way! Thank you interviewers for asking hard questions with clarity and respect for your guests and for us, your listeners. Thank you for not summarizing or paraphrasing for us. Thank you for not competing with your guests. I often enjoy your questions more than your guests’ answers. You two are extraordinary at what you do. Please do it more often.
  • hopejunkie4444
    Amazing and professional
    You are amazing interviewers. You are clear and personal and professional, BUT, unlike so many therapists interviews, where the interviewer interrupts the host, wasting endless time on recapping and rephrasing and summarizing at nausea, (it’s a therapist ‘thing’ I guess..), YOU are respectful, and smart, and not taking space to shine yourselves, or complement your interviewees. What a good program!!!
  • Absorbed In Aus
    Can't get enough
    These women manage to get the most amazing guests and then seem to ask them all the questions that i would ask them myself! I totally love the whole show. Terry Real , Esther Perel and Bill Doherty are stand out episodes . I cant recommend it enough and have given it to friends and clients too!
  • brooklyn_jsc
    Great Listen
    So fun and enlightening. I enjoy the variety of guests, who bring a nice breadth of knowledge. The hosts ask great questions. It’s as entertaining as a guilty pleasure, but it’s a full meal.
  • Ballydehob~
    Excellent guests and hosts
    Wow. I've listened to several sex/relationship podcasts, but this is the one I most look forward to seeing/hearing a new episode. ALWAYS GREAT. This is a special podcast among of sea of similars. Keep it going, please. Your interviews are superb.
  • amog
    Always interesting and fantastic guests!
    Every episode has been so interesting, and I really appreciate that the hosts ask great questions and get involved but also give the guests a lot of room to delve into details that many other interviewers tend to miss out on by being too active. Very thoughtful and interesting work and I’m looking forward to seeing who they have on next!
  • k.e.r. san fran
    excellent - so well done all around
    For an in depth and patiently comprehensive approach to important topics related to love, sex and relationships, LOVELINK is the podcast for you. Excellent!
  • Jet Stiles
    No chill in Miami
    LOVELINK found me sipping old fashions at a poolside hipster hostel bar in South Beach. Weeks of bad vibes and relationship woes took a 180 as a friend introduced me to a friend— a stunning woman with an intellect to kill. We hit it off and shared stories of failed baes, inner demons, and sex— all while dancing until the early morning hours. As we split our separate ways, she suggested I listen to LOVELINK. “Just do it. You’ll thank me.” Seriously. You will too.
  • rsvlt
    Favorite new podcast
    There are only two episodes out and I’m already hooked on this podcast. The interviews are intelligent and interesting due to articulate guests and well prepared hosts. It’s also great to see their website expand on the topics discussed and link relevant articles.
  • rroocckkyy
    Thank you!!
    I'm so grateful to have found this podcast. My husband and I have been struggling to get our sex life back on track for a long time. Listening to Ian gave me sexual inspiration and hope. I also loved the Lovelink hosts! They were thoughtful and asked great questions. I look forward to more interviews by these ladies!
  • Bachelorette001
    Linked to Love
    It is so refreshing to have a podcast about relationships that feels informed by the literature out there and by mental health professionals. Love how the first episode talks so directly about sex, in a way that helps to de-mystify a topic that is often taboo or overly provocative. Was really nice to know that other people struggle with similar issues in bed and ways to address them. Will definitely stay tuned!
  • Cho1010
    A universally relatable show the world needs
    Listening to the first episode of Lovelink was so refreshing -- it's a show that discusses sex/relationships and all the issues that so many people want to talk and learn more about but don't have an outlet to. There were so many moments when I would think, "That's how I tend to think" or "I've had a partner who does that", which shed so much insight on my own life and the way people behave. Beyond being a personally relatable podcast, it is an enjoyable educational experience as well, I look forward to episodes to come.
  • Lucas_Ames
    Loving LOVELINK :)
    I was just turned onto LOVELINK by a friend, and I have to say I really enjoyed the first episode! Their guest offered some great advice about sex, and the hosts seemed knowledgable and engaged. Excited to hear more!
