Janet had been seeing Aaron for a few weeks, and she knew she couldn’t wait much longer to tell him. They had fallen for each other fast, and it seemed like things would only get better – but how would Aaron react when she told him she was transgender?

This week we talked to Janet and Aaron about their love (a story so goddamn sweet it gave us goosebumps) and about going public.

Learn more about Janet and her upcoming memoir at janetmock.com or listen to Janet and Aaron be sickeningly cute (good sick) on their podcast, The Missing Piece.

Kit Lovelace crowd-sourced his love life. In his series for the Guardian, My Love Life in Your Hands, he’d ask thousands of Brits to vote on his next romantic move. In his first column, he asked if he should break up with his girlfriend – they voted yes – and he followed through. Listen for more examples of how far Kit took his experiment – and what happened after the column ended.

Today, Kit is giving romantic advice on his blog, Your Love Life in My Hands.

As usual, our theme music is provided by Drew Danburry.

We also featured Jack Pine and The Fire‘s Gold Silver Bronze. JP is friends with Jack, you should buy their album (or at least check out the free preview songs).

Other music this week via IODApromonet:

Clare Lawlor’s brother stubbornly refused to take this story to the talk show circuit, so we snapped it up instead. We treat her tale with the utmost sophistication and delicacy, of course, and somehow learn something about being mature adults along the way. Happy holidays!

Music this week by Drew Danburry (theme song), Abigail Clarke, and…

Jimmy & The Rackets

“Black Eyes” (mp3)
