Techish host Abadesi is joined by Chanté Joseph: the culture writer behind that viral Vogue piece asking, “Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?” She’s also the creator of Strangers in the City, the events platform tackling adult loneliness. Chanté chats building Strangers in the City, why loneliness feels so real right now, her viral article and the politics of dating, and the power of being single. And for the Patreon listeners: a deeper dive into intimacy beyond romantic relationships.
