Weekly Videos On Living Like a Love Extremist
This Week’s Episode:
Driving cross country in a hand painted volvo…
Ethan was asked to start a podcast exploring how different people define and act with love. With that, Love Extremist Radio was born.
The show is composed of 45-60 minute one-on-one interviews with a diverse range of individuals actualizing love in their personal, interpersonal and worldly lives.
Season One focused on exploring a wide range of definitions for Love while Season Two was informed by those learnings with a bit more focus on issues of activism, extremism, justice, identity, health and how love can be taken more seriously in our culture. Season Three is a series of live taped episodes on Clubhouse with occasional audience engagement.
