Zakia marks Valentine’s Day with a show dedicated to love, in all its forms…

Unrequited, romantic, familial love, love for a furry friend, platonic, and more. It’s a show jam-packed full of listener suggestions. Whether you’re feeling loved up, perhaps practicing self love across this Valentine’s weekend - or even, feeling a bit grumpy about all of this adulation, Zakia has the tune for you.

There’ll be a steamy love song, denounced back in the day by the Vatican, a chemistry-infused duet from a 1980s Hindi romance film, Parinda, a beautiful dedication to a mother’s love, and a favoured John Lennon song one listener likes to sing lovingly to their pet. Plus, a beautiful guitar melody that emerged out of a poem that was written by a long-lost friend.
