On the Way to Dinner

Author: Vox Media Podcast Network February 19, 2025 Duration: 41:17
On August 28th, 2000, Danny Stewart got on the subway to meet his boyfriend Pete Mercurio for dinner in New York City. As he was exiting the station, he noticed something on the ground. It looked like a baby doll wrapped in a shirt. And then he saw the doll's legs move. Pete Mercurio's children's book is Our Subway Baby. His forthcoming memoir is called There: We Found Our Family In a New York City Subway Station. This episode was first released in 2021. Say hello on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

From the team behind the acclaimed Criminal comes This is Love, a podcast that explores the vast, often surprising dimensions of its title. This isn't a show about romance in the conventional sense, but an investigation into connection itself. Each episode is a carefully crafted story that uncovers the profound and sometimes unexpected ways love manifests-in devotion between species, in lifelong friendships forged by chance, in the quiet dedication to a place or an idea. The stories are intimate and human, told with the same narrative care and empathetic curiosity that defined its predecessor. As part of the Vox Media Podcast Network, this podcast releases new episodes twice a month, offering regular, thoughtful escapes into the complexities of the heart. You'll hear interviews, archival tape, and rich sound design that pulls you directly into the experience. It’s a series that challenges the simple definition of its name, revealing how love operates as a fundamental, shaping force in society, culture, and our personal journals of life. Tune in for stories that are moving, peculiar, and deeply true, each one a reminder that love is, indeed, far more than you might initially think.
