Dating A Broad

Dating A Broad is a remote dating podcast. In episode ten, the final one of this season, we look back at how our guests have entangled and disentangled their love lives over the last few weeks and hear from a few of them about where they are now, how things are going and the lessons they’ve learnt during lockdown. We also discuss what we’ve learnt about dating from quarantine and this podcast. Plus, a cameo from one of our Video Call Named Desire regulars!

Dating A Broad is a remote dating podcast. In episode nine, we discuss the intersection between the dating apps and community, something we’ve talked about a lot throughout this season. This time, instead of waxing lyrical about it ourselves, we get the insights of not one but two founders of dating apps designed specifically for digital nomads and remote workers - Aline, the founder of Nomad Soulmates, and Taige, who’s the brains behind Fairytrail.

For episode eight, we each brought on one of our exes a) because we thought it'd be funny and b) to find out what dating during lockdown has been like from the male perspective. We cover everything from what it's like to be a guy on the dating apps to the pros and cons of dating a nomad. Plus plenty of embarrassing stories about your co-hosts and insider info on what our Tinder profiles look like!

Dating A Broad is a remote dating podcast. Episode five is a very special, bumper episode where we talk about the amazingness of platonic love and the role that friend love plays in our lives. We’ve both brought on one of our closest friends, we’ve all got a glass of wine and we cover everything from maintaining long distance friendships to friend jealousy. We also play a hilarious game at the end of this episode, where we figure out which “couple” knows each other best. The winners get to do the outro to the podcast.

Dating A Broad is a remote dating podcast. Episode four, which is about finding love in unexpected places, got a little bit long so we split it into two parts. In part one, we talked to Lauren and Michael who met in December and decided to make their relationship official on a socially distant date during lockdown. Lauren was scared her Mum wouldn’t approve of their ‘Romeo & Juliet’ style romance, so she had to sneak out to see him, often only for a few hours at a time. In part two, Lauren and Michael’s questions are answered by nomadic coach Angie, who found her perfect person while travelling through Portugal alone. She still travels by herself a lot but they manage to keep the spark alive from afar, and when they reunite. Plus, our latest virtual dating updates and crazy stories from our combined 16 years of dating on the road!

Dating A Broad is a remote dating podcast. Episode three is about the single ladies who have decided to use lockdown as an opportunity to take a break from dating, and their nomad counterparts who explore the joys of travelling the world alone. We meet Jess, a British comedian, who has decided to focus on her comedy during quarantine because she doesn’t think virtual dating in these circumstances is a foundation for a healthy relationship. We also catch up with our friend writer and digital nomad Maria who’s been travelling the world with her laptop for the last 7 years and is currently locked down in Argentina. She’s been dating on and off during her time as a nomad but has decided to use lockdown to take a complete break from men, which she says has cleared sooo much mental space. Plus, our latest virtual dating updates and crazy stories from our combined 16 years of dating on the road!
