  • Research Wrap-Up: My Experiences on Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge
    Feb 27 2025

    After over a year on Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble trying the different features, going on dates, and learning how to put my foot down, it is finally time to consider this round of dating app research complete. These are my takeaways. Oh and a cautionary tale about checking the boxes of what you want in a partner rather than seeing the red flags for what they are...and a reminder that putting your foot down takes practice.

    Next up, Melissa and I dig into lesser-known apps... Farmers Only, anyone?

  • My Attempt at Improv on Asked by Aliens
    Nov 5 2024

    New podcast alert! Asked by Aliens is the newest show on Cross the Streams Media network where guests get to make up a character and the hosts steer the conversation to some level of sanity - hopefully. Check out my guest appearance on the Asked by Aliens episode 158 - Listener Call-In on November 5, 2024, before the world might actually come to an end!


    It’s Listener Call-In Night at Beyond Strange AM… or at least it was until an ACTUAL witch decided to crash the party. Can AP & Chase figure out where this “Jerri Poppins” (Big Time Fresh’s Bella Mars) came from and how they ended up at the studio door? Why does she keep talking about collecting children? Is she from the UK, Australia, America? Seriously, please tell us if you find out. Ep 158 Listener Call-In
