‘Working on the column for all these years has given me touchstones and tools to be able to navigate difficult times in life. It feels like a churning reservoir of human experience that feeds into your veins if you are open to it.’
When Daniel Jones started the Modern Love column in 2004, he opened the call for submissions and hoped the idea would catch on. Twenty years later, over a thousand Modern Love essays have been published in The New York Times, and the column is a trove of real-life love stories.
Dan has put so much of himself into editing the column over the years, but as he tells our host, Anna Martin, the column has influenced him, too. Today, Dan shares three Modern Love essays that have changed the way he thinks about love and relationships in his own life.
Also, Anna announces the beginning of a special series of episodes celebrating Modern Love’s 20th anniversary.
Links to transcripts of episodes generally appear on these pages within a week.
Modern Love is hosted by Anna Martin and produced by Julia Botero, Christina Djossa, Reva Goldberg and Emily Lang. The show is edited by Paula Szuchman and Jen Poyant, our executive producer. The show is mixed by Daniel Ramirez and recorded by Maddy Masiello. It features original music by Dan Powell. Our theme music is by Dan Powell.
