Release The Tapes: Beam Me Up SoftBoi

A special treat for the girlies! We're releasing one more Patreon-only episode for you to get you through to the end of our summer holiday (back September!). This week, sharing our August 2022 interview episode with Iona David, the creator of our longtime favourite account on Instagram, @beam_me_up_softboi. We discuss the past 10 years of Tinder, how society has changed since we all started online dating, why it is people still feel weird saying they met their partner online, the many softboi categories (and how to avoid them), ghosting and being ghosted, and an unfortunate email.

Iona's book, Is This Love Or Dopamine?: A Deeply Unofficial Study of Dating in the Digital Age is out now.

As you know, throughout this break, new interview episodes are continuing on Patreon, we'd love if you could join us there (but love you either way forever, of course) xxx Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
