Starlee Kine is a contributor for This American Life, which recently produced an episode about breaking up and the heartache that follows.
Starlee and her boyfriend were fans of Phil Colins. After breaking up with her boyfriend, Starlee decided to write a song about her heartache and consulted Phil Colins for advice on writing a song. She came up with a song, “The Three of Us,” with the help of musicians Joe McGinty and Julia Greenberg. TAL held a remix / cover contest where listeners could submit a version of “The Three of Us.” The winners were posted on Friday. These are our favorites.

I love this “This American Life” episode! I love the line: “Even Phil Collins can’t help but quote Phil Collins.”
This is my favorite This American Life episode about love:

I love the episode about unconditional love. The story about Romanian orphan and his adoptive parents chokes me up every time I listen to it. I also love the story about parents who struggle to care for the autistic son. That episode is killer.
