Modern Love 100 | Send Us Your Story

Modern Love: The Podcast is about to release our 100th episode! And we want to hear from you. Send us a voice memo about a moment in a Modern Love episode that moved you… and then tell us why it had such a profound impact on you. Try to keep your stories short — we’re thinking two minutes — and we may play them on the podcast. Email them to us at modernlove@wbur.org.

How To Record a Voice Memo From An iPhone

4. Now hold the phone to your ear (not in front of your mouth) like a normal phone call and speak your message.

5. When you are finished, press the red “stop” square. Then press “Done”

6. It will prompt you to name the file. Name it “Modern Love + Your Name”. Press Save.
