Josh Kalven was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer in March and died four months later. He was a husband, a dad to a five-year-old, and a sweet friend. This episode is a eulogy. I read Josh the letter I wrote him in June, back when we still thought he'd beat it. It's full of stuck ropes, bad slab, his famous hummus sandwich, and everything he… [Listen](https://anchor.fm/s/102a374d0/podcast/play/123178506/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-22%2F428424330-44100-2-f2e0600d0ed43.mp3) ## [A guide to eating pussy with Amy Baldwin](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovedrive/episodes/A-guide-to-eating-pussy-with-Amy-Baldwin-e3m59md) _2026-07-16 · Shaun Galanos · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos_ The manosphere thinks going down on a woman is gay, submissive, or a low-return waste of time. It's wrong on all three — so I brought in an expert to help me prove it. In this crossover episode — Shameless Love — I sit down with sex educator Amy Baldwin from the Shameless Sex podcast for an honest, explicit, and useful guide to going down on women. We take apart the manosphere nonsense, then get… [Listen](https://anchor.fm/s/102a374d0/podcast/play/122905741/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-16%2F428054467-44100-2-0b65280980f32.mp3) ## [Learning to love unpredictability](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovedrive/episodes/Learning-to-love-unpredictability-e3lqcm7) _2026-07-09 · Shaun Galanos · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos_ A listener asks whether to move back to somewhere familiar or take a leap somewhere new. Shaun uses the question to explore something bigger: how do you make peace with a life you can't predict? In this episode: finding community after a move, the "third space" concept, why it took two years to find his people in Montreal, what Flagstaff taught him, and why every choice — city, relationship, kids,… [Listen](https://anchor.fm/s/102a374d0/podcast/play/122548359/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-8%2F427574624-44100-2-1124a451f1cf7.mp3) ## [Bidding for connection with Jess Janz](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovedrive/episodes/Bidding-for-connection-with-Jess-Janz-e3li9r6) _2026-07-02 · Shaun Galanos · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos_ Jess Janz is a writer, community facilitator, and the founder of Dinner With Strangers - a project that has brought over a thousand people together for a meal with one rule: no one talks about what they do for work. Her book, The Table Where We Meet, is out July 14th. We set out to talk about platonic love and ended up somewhere more personal - about what it actually means to bid for connection… [Listen](https://anchor.fm/s/102a374d0/podcast/play/122283302/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-2%2F427218660-44100-2-996684a6c321e.mp3) ## [Living with a Broken Heart](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovedrive/episodes/Living-with-a-Broken-Heart-e3l7iu1) _2026-06-25 · Shaun Galanos · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos_ This week's episode is a tender one. I recorded this on Father's Day — three years after losing my dad — and I'm reading my Substack essay Living with a Broken Heart and riffing on what it means to keep showing up, keep feeling, and keep choosing love even when it costs you. I also make a correction from EP17, share a few quotes that have been sitting with me, and offer some practical tips on how… [Listen](https://anchor.fm/s/102a374d0/podcast/play/121932161/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-24%2F426746590-44100-2-c2be231d33046.mp3) ## [Why lonely men join the Manosphere with Laura Ramadei](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovedrive/episodes/Why-lonely-men-join-the-Manosphere-with-Laura-Ramadei-e3kugbo) _2026-06-18 · Shaun Galanos · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos_ I've been thinking a lot about why so many men end up looking for belonging in all the wrong places. This conversation starts with the manosphere, but it quickly becomes something much bigger. Laura Ramadei and I talk about why so many boys and men are starving for connection, why "fix yourself" advice so often misses the point, and how loneliness can make almost anyone vulnerable to people… [Listen](https://anchor.fm/s/102a374d0/podcast/play/121634616/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-17%2F426350858-44100-2-e20517d65f7fb.mp3) ## [What is love?](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovedrive/episodes/What-is-love-e3kjl62) _2026-06-11 · Shaun Galanos · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos_ What is love? It's a question I've never seriously stopped to answer — and one that's surprisingly hard to get at. In this solo episode, I share reflections from Love Camp, a retreat I hosted for 25 people, where only one participant raised their hand when asked if they had positive loving role models growing up. I explore what love actually looks like in practice — not the grand gestures we're… [Listen](https://anchor.fm/s/102a374d0/podcast/play/121279106/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-10%2F425879645-44100-2-d84b380e84ba2.mp3) ## [Once a cheater, sometimes a cheater with Lauren LaRusso](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovedrive/episodes/Once-a-cheater--sometimes-a-cheater-with-Lauren-LaRusso-e3k7gi6) _2026-06-04 · Shaun Galanos · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos_ There is life after betrayal. It might not feel like it right now, but there is. My guest today is Lauren LaRusso, a licensed therapist and the author of Beyond Infidelity, a book she wrote after living through betrayal herself. Then she discovered the infidelity, and everything split into a before and an after. We talk about why infidelity is a trauma, not just a relationship issue, how being… [Listen](https://anchor.fm/s/102a374d0/podcast/play/120881158/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-2%2F425343278-44100-2-b9da3b58f4f7.mp3) ## [Can awkward sex be improved?](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovedrive/episodes/Can-awkward-sex-be-improved-e3k0a2h) _2026-05-28 · Shaun Galanos · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos_ What if the sex is awkward, but the connection is actually really good? This week, I’m answering a listener question about dating someone new after years of being mostly single - someone kind, compatible, emotionally available… and a little nervous in bed. Fun! Humbling! Slightly confusing! I get into whether sexual compatibility has to be there from the start, how to tell the difference between… [Listen](https://anchor.fm/s/102a374d0/podcast/play/120645137/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-4-28%2F425028116-44100-2-f714d86425886.mp3) ## [Accept your Doppler invite (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/Kt2T43XanEux) _2026-05-28 · **Sponsored**_ Create your Doppler account using the invite code you received. ## [Herpes is just a skin rash — with Debbie Barish, NP](https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thelovedrive/episodes/Herpes-is-just-a-skin-rash--with-Debbie-Barish--NP-e3jm7uu) _2026-05-21 · Shaun Galanos · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos_ Most adults in the world carry the virus that causes herpes. Most of them don't know it. And the shame around it is doing more damage than the virus. This week I sit down with Debbie Barish, DNP, MS, WHNP-BC — a board-certified women's health nurse practitioner with 32 years in sexual and reproductive health — for a no-shame, no-bullshit conversation about herpes (both HSV-1 and HSV-2).
