About this listen

A podcast diving deep into the wild, wonderful and occasionally worrying world of modern dating. Hosted by Katy and Steve, this show explores real stories, honest conversations, questionable decisions and the kind of dating advice you only learn the hard way.

From awkward first messages to unforgettable first dates, from unexpected connections to absolute catastrophes, we look at how online dating has changed our lives… for better and for worse.

It’s a funny, unfiltered and sometimes darkly relatable look at the never-ending quest to find that elusive perfect match – the person who might light up your world forever, or at least for a memorable weekend.

Whether you’re swiping, liking, ghosting or giving up, join us for laugh-out-loud moments, raw honesty and a refreshing take on love in the digital age.
