HOW TO BE IN LOVE: RYLAN FRONTS VISUALISED PODCAST FOR BBC iPLAYER

Rylan has redefined masculinity in the 21st Century with ‘How to Be a Man’, looked deeper into the celebrity story with ‘How to Be in The Spotlight’, and now he’s turning his attention to all things love, with ‘How to Be in Love’.

From a young age, we’re taught that love is the ultimate fairytale – that finding “the one” will finally complete us. But is it time to look at love differently? Rylan is embarking on a mission to rediscover what love is and he’ll be talking to his guests about what we should be looking for in a partner (or partners!) and all the relationships that have defined their lives, from short-to-long-term relationships, friendships, family and everything in between.

Rylan says, “Throughout this series, I’ll be talking to all my guests about love; what it means to them, how they describe it and how it manifests in every aspect of their lives. I get some unrivalled relationship advice from love experts, ask what we should be looking for in a partner, and discover the secrets of healthy, long-term relationships. Who knows, I might pick up some helpful tips along the way.”

Rhian Roberts, Commissioning Editor, Podcasts and Formats, says, “At the Podcast Show last year, in front of a very lively audience, Rylan pitched to make this series. Very cheeky but also a great idea. He’s irresistible. So here we are one year on with How to Be…in Love. The big bonus is you can watch, the now BAFTA award-winning, Rylan learning everything about romance, love and heartache as all 12 episodes will be on the BBC iPlayer as well as BBC Sounds,”.

Over 12 episodes, guests will include: Stephen Fry, Philippa Perry, Matt and Emma Willis, Munroe Bergdorf, Louis Theroux, Reverend Richard Coles, former sex worker and porn star Rebecca More and neuroscientist Dr Tara Swart. For the first time, the series will be fully visualised on BBC iPlayer.

Episodes one and two of Rylan: How to be in Love will be available on BBC Sounds and iPlayer on Wednesday 4th June, after which new episodes will land weekly. In addition, Rylan’s weekly radio show airs every Saturday from 3-6pm on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds.
