Breakups. Sierra Bellows asks people in her town when they knew it was over. This is an all-time ILY favourite from the vault, mostly because it makes us cry. If you fail to cry, listen to Against All Odds, the Postal Service cover. The original by Phil Collins is also somewhat effective.
See the original episode post for music downloads and credits.
Two curious monosexuals journey into the strange and wonderful world of people who are attracted to men and women. BOTH OF THEM. (Not necessarily at the same time though.) After hearing our Gay Talk episode, our friend and historian, Anna, decided we might learn a thing or two about the bisexual way and she patiently submitted to an hour long interrogation. We report back with our astonishing findings.

JP and I are having trouble seeing eye to eye about whether exes should be friends. Your input is much appreciated.

Why does anyone get married anymore? And why do they make us get out of bed to watch it happen? This week, we try to figure out why, against all reason, we hope to get married one day. Sierra talks to two friends as they prepare for their weddings, and things begin to make a bit more sense. Their stories are really heart-warming, and if you’ve got an acute case of the singles, kind of reassuring too.

We’re all about eavesdropping this week. As a young TTY operator, Laura-Louise got right in the middle of people’s private conversations. Funny, scandalous, moving, she heard it all, and then she told us.
Plus, JP confesses to doing some high-tech creeping when he lost trust in his ex. He didn’t like what he found.
You can see Laura-Louise’s original TTY story at MothUP Toronto’s Vimeo section. There’s stuff by former guest, Sage Tyrtle, on there too. And if you want to attend an event, join MothUP’s Facebook Group.

This week, we get drunk. In possibly the most misguided experiment in ILY’s less than illustrious history, we decide to explore this week’s theme (mind-altering substances) while under the influence. You know how it sucks when everyone around you is drunk & high and you’re completely sober? Well, this isn’t like that. We’re the most fun we’ve ever been, or at least, we thought so at the time.
Note: Though we preach to the children a few too many times this episode (a la How I Met Your Mother), this show is NOT for kids.

This week, we talk to Jeremy about gay stuff, like why it sucks when people call it a choice, but also sucks when they insist it isn’t, and what the deal is with biphobia (in case it isn’t super clear, we love bi people. We were just trying to explain why other people are jerks. Some of our favourite girlfriends have been bi).

Even though she won’t listen to this, and probably prefers we never wrote it, this one is for D, with much love.
A high school student’s affair with a teacher. This story is a little hard to listen to at times (and a lot graphic at times), but definitely one of our favourites.
Original blog post, including song credits can be found here.
What would it feel like to rediscover letters and tapes from your first love a decade later (on paper and cassettes!)? Would they seem quaint and naive? Inspiring and poetic? Sierra Bellows does just that and reports back. This one’s a show favourite, and a time capsule in its own right, albeit not a very old one.
We’re back mid-April with all new episodes!
