Surprise! I’m back for one-night only before I drown my single-ass self in a bottle of wine. (You didn’t really think I’d let Valentine’s Day pass by without doing something, did you?) Consider this special V-Day episode a follow up to last year’s. You can read the essay featured in this episode here. Spoiler alert: everything’s still terrible and that’s still okay.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying (About Turning My Life Into a Romantic Comedy)

Hello, world. I’m back! Well, sort of. Have an episode of My Week In Tinder that basically serves as the backdoor pilot of my new soon-to-launch podcast, Everything Is Terrible (And That’s Okay). I know this last episode (which, given my track record, is probably definitely not the last episode) is super short, so if you want to hear my voice again soon, check out the premiere of Chris Tries to Review Wine, launching Wednesday Winesday, June 20th.

Everything Is Terrible (And That’s Okay)

I’m Kate Densen, and this is the final episode of My Week In Tinder. You can read the essay this episode contains, “Fare Thee Well to All That,” here.
Remember: Everything’s terrible, and that’s okay.

Fare Thee Well to All That

My Week In Tinder is back after an unintentional hiatus because life. Since we last spoke, I hit online dating rock bottom (not as fun as it sounds), went on one date, am experiencing some sort of John Cusack in High Fidelity-esque existential crisis, and received some laughable messages. Also, I challenge listeners to come up with a definition for “thristmuffin.” (Don’t bother trying to Google it, there are zero results.)
If you live in New York and have no plans this Friday (May 12th), come to Chris Tries to Review Wine Live! at the PIT Loft, a variety show written and hosted by my very talented friend, and expert Trader Joe’s sommelier, Chris Barlow. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and your ticket will include a glass of wine. Oh, and I’ll be there to offer some Tinder expertise.
As always, you can reach out at myweekintinder@gmail.com. Cheers!

Thristmuffin

Here’s a super-short outtake (it’s literally not even four minutes long) from Episode 8 in which Ariel and I discuss an important issue women (and probably some men, too) have to face (both literally and figuratively) on dating apps: unsolicited dick pics.
