Tune in for the hot takes, dating tips, and a little spy drama with your swipe sesh.

  • Going Undercover: Dating The Far Right with Vera Papisova PART 2 | Ask a Matchmaker Matchmaker Maria

    This is part 2 of a powerful two-part episode of Ask a Matchmaker. This week, Matchmaker Maria sits down with journalist Vera Papisova, who went undercover on conservative dating apps during the 2024 election cycle. Her goal? To investigate the rise of red pill culture, Christian nationalism, and the growing appeal of traditional gender roles among men in far-right dating spaces.

    From secret neo-Nazi meetings in New York to profiles proudly declaring "pureblood" status and requests for "biblical wives," Vera reveals how misogyny, extremism, and identity politics are shaping romantic expectations and emotional behavior. What began as a journalistic experiment quickly evolved into an unsettling exploration of trauma, projection, and toxic masculinity.

    Maria and Vera also reflect on the backlash they received after discussing red pill content online, exposing the volatile intersection of media, dating, and power. Whether you're dating in New York or simply curious about how political ideology infiltrates personal relationships, this episode offers a gripping look at the psychology behind modern extremism and how it shows up on your screen.

    What happens when modern dating meets far-right ideology? This week, Matchmaker Maria sits down with journalist and award-winning editor Vera Papisova, who went undercover on conservative dating apps during the 2024 election cycle. Her mission?

    From profiles proudly declaring "pureblood" status to men seeking "biblical wives," Vera shares what she uncovered while dating undercover and the dangerous ways misogyny is showing up in romantic relationships. The conversation also touches on the backlash Maria and her co-host faced after discussing red pill content last month, revealing the alarming vitriol that came their way.

    This isn't just a chat about dating, it's a revealing look at how politics, power, and patriarchy collide in the most intimate parts of our lives.

  • How To Flirt with Jessie Lee | Ask a Matchmaker Matchmaker Maria

    This week, Matchmaker Maria is joined by comedian Jessie Lee, known for her hilarious character comedy and spot-on impressions of emotionally unavailable men. Jessie shares why she's taking a break from dating—after one too many weird encounters, including a post-hookup serenade from a naked guy with a guitar (yes, really).

    Maria and Jessie also dive into Jessie's viral Instagram and TikTok sketches, where she hilariously roasts men who refuse to commit or introduce you to their friends. Then, the conversation takes a turn into flirting—or, more specifically, the serious decline of flirting in Gen Z. With so much interaction happening online, are we losing the art of in-person charm? Jessie confesses she's got a weak flirt game, so Maria gives her some much-needed tips… and even assigns her flirtation homework!

    It's a fun and insightful episode—be sure to listen and watch!

  • Red Pill Content, Forced Marriages & Pointless Sports Bets with Kaneez Surka | Ask a Matchmaker Podcast with Matchmaker Maria

    In this week's episode of Ask a Matchmaker, Maria and her March co-host Kaneez dive into some wild and thought-provoking headlines that are shaking up conversations about love and relationships.

    Maria kicks things off with a jaw-dropping New York Times article about a Chinese company pressuring employees to marry and start families by September 30th — or face termination. The discussion unpacks the company's drastic approach to boosting birth rates, cultural expectations around marriage, and how governments might better support people seeking meaningful connections.

    Next, they tackle a viral TikTok where a woman shares how her boyfriend's personality changed after consuming red pill content. Maria and Kaneez explore the impact of online echo chambers on relationships, and how toxic internet subcultures can shift someone's worldview, sometimes for the worse.

    Finally, they break down another TikTok trend where a creator adds "man who gambles" to her red flag list, pointing out how gambling can be a slippery slope to financial instability and wasted time. Maria and Kaneez reflect on the broader implications of certain habits and how they can affect long-term compatibility.

    From forced marriage deadlines to the dangers of online radicalization and the financial pitfalls of gambling, this episode is packed with sharp insights, candid reactions, and a healthy dose of humor. Whether you're single, dating, or just curious about how societal trends shape relationships, you won't want to miss this one!

    This March, Matchmaker Maria is joined by comedian Kaneez Surka as her cohost! Kaneez, originally from South Africa and having lived in India, opens up about her journey through marriage, divorce, and self-discovery. She shares how realizing she and her ex-husband were too young and had different values led to their split — and how reading Calling in The One helped her break free from patterns of dating the wrong people.

    Now in her "decentering men era," Kaneez and Maria dive into the idea that life isn't about settling down but finding your true teammate. They explore the power of latching on to the right person — not settling, not overthinking every potential ick, but embracing connection when it feels right. It's a fun, insightful episode packed with laughter, honest reflections, and reminders that love is about partnership, not perfection.

    Tune in for real talk, honest advice, and plenty of laughs as Maria and Kaneez help listeners navigate the wild world of modern dating.
