Hunter’s genuine connection with strangers and emotional interview moments quickly captured viewers' hearts across multiple platforms and a New York Times Best Selling book. Now, Hunter is expanding his social media series into a new weekly video and audio podcast, Stories from a Stranger , featuring portraits of multiple strangers connected by themes of love, loss, regret, inspiration, illness, family connections, and more.

In this episode of Stories from a Stranger, we explore how love looks and feels different at every age—from the dizzying rush of a first crush to the quiet comfort of a lifelong partner, and the ache of wondering if love will ever come at all. Today, yesterday, and tomorrow, love is in the air. Meet this episode's strangers: - Sally, 96, who calls a college boy who gave her \"a tingle\" the love of her life, remembers the man who massaged her frozen feet on a ski trip and became her husband, and recalls the shock of being told she’d never have children, only to get pregnant on her honeymoon and become the matriarch of a sprawling family. She talks about losing her husband Joe, letting go of lovemaking, and living by her motto: “If you don’t ask, you don’t get.” - Ella, 18, has never been in love or in a long-term relationship and wonders if that makes her unlovable. After a string of talking stages that go nowhere, she’s left asking, “Am I the problem?” even as she still believes in love and tries to learn how to be happy on her own. - Tish, an artist who makes slice‑of‑life comics, had nearly given up on dating in New York when a quiet, gentle follower named Akeem messaged to say he loved her sense of humor and the way she sees the world. A first dinner turned into skating dates, Comic-Con cosplay, and a second date where she knew she’d marry him. Now married, they go to couples therapy even when things are good, determined to keep choosing each other and to grow together. For Tish, love is an anchor in a world where everything else changes. Their stories remind us that love isn't one thing. It evolves, it disappoints, it surprises us, and sometimes it finds us…","meta_description":"Hunter Prosper meets three strangers at three different stages of life and asks them what love means to them.
