What if we imagined a world where podcast Valentine’s existed?

For the amount of love and joy they bring people, why don’t podcasts have a whole Valentine’s niche on the internet? Candy and cards and everything. A huge missed opportunity if you ask me.

Conversation hearts are everywhere this time of year, but don’t they feel a little outdated? Wouldn’t you love something a little more attuned to our modern podcast-obsessed sensibilities?

Instead of “UR SO CUTE.” Get it? Podcast humor is the best humor.

Or instead of handing the problematic “KISS ME” heart to someone, wouldn’t it be nice to share in a little podcast inside joke?

Honestly, there could be a whole new line of conversation hearts just for podcasts.

And then of course there are the cards. Sooo many Valentine’s Cards in the stores right now. But it’s honestly not fair that none of them involve podcasts.

Wouldn’t you want to share a card with someone special who just gets your podcast taste?

It might not be my thing, but I can only imagine how many people bond over their love of True Crime, aka murder shows. Let them know how you feel!

How many relationships have podcasts saved now that people actually look forward to chores? It’s incalculable for sure. Get dirty with those dishes!

One can dream that podcast merch will go mainstream, but in the meantime maybe steal these photos and send them to that podcast person in your life.
