Episode 11 of The Cost of Love is a special one: a live recording from the launch of Haley McGee’s book The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale—the show that inspired the podcast.
Recorded in front of an audience, this event is part celebration, part reflection. Haley reads from the book, shares the story behind it, and brings listeners inside the hilarious, heartbreaking process of trying to calculate the cost of love—literally.
This episode is packed with warmth, vulnerability, and just the right amount of chaos. From a production perspective, it was a different kind of challenge—capturing the energy of the room while ensuring clarity and intimacy in the audio. We mixed live and recorded elements to keep the rhythm fluid and the emotion intact.
If you’ve ever wondered where The Cost of Love came from—or you’re curious about how to turn personal heartbreak into performance, prose, and a podcast—this is essential listening.
