      ABOUT THE HOST

      Katie Mc - London.

      I started Single Sounds to create a new fun method of dating as I felt that there is now little variety with how to meet people. I absolutely love podcasts and believe in the strong sense of self you can get from them so I thought it was perfect for a dating medium.

      As I like to say this podcast is for people who have too much personality for a dating app.

                • I know the best place in London for a good old-fashioned East End knees up

                • I do love a karaoke date and my favourites include Super Bass by Nicki Minaj and Night Changes by One Direction

                • The one with waffle berry pie

                  This character will travel for love and is looking for someone who is going to say ‘yes’ to adventure. 

                  From great nights out dancing it up through to chilled out sofa sessions watching RHOBH with exceptional snacks if you have sway and rhythm, a love of travel, comfort food and juicy reality TV then this character could be the one for you. 

                  KEY TAKEAWAYS

                  I’m looking for someone who is adventurous and spontaneous and has the same views as me. 

                  I collected snails as a child and had a giant snail called Fudge. 

                  If you want to date me you should know I love reality TV especially RHOBH, it’s lots of juicy TV to get through. 

                  How easy it is to eat the food is part of the enjoyment and a good homemade spag bol is great comfort food. 

                  I want someone with sway and a bit of rhythm. 

                  Along with loving a good night out she is equally wholesome and chilled and loves a good PJ and sofa sesh, with a rom com and snacks. 

                  Her waffle berry pie and baking skills are seriously legit and she loves to travel. 

                  She will be a 10 out 10 partner in crime. 

                  BEST MOMENTS

                  ‘Food is a love language for me’

                  Her bestie rates her a solid 10 out of 10, but it’s okay she doesn’t want to date her’

                  ‘She bloody loves a good night out and she’ll be up there shaking what her mama gave her’

                  ABOUT THE HOST

                   Katie Mc - London.

                  I started Single Sounds to create a new fun method of dating as I felt that there is now little variety with how to meet people. I absolutely love podcasts and believe in the strong sense of self you can get from them so I thought it was perfect for a dating medium.

                  As I like to say this podcast is for people who have too much personality for a dating app.

                  • The one with duck identification

                    This character really knows her way around maps and on a night out is very likely to bump into someone she knows but is always the last one standing due to her power-napping superpower. 

                    If you are a good communicator and love to do new things this could be the character for you, she’s independent, social and psychologically minded with a love of birdwatching and can give you river dancing lessons, just give her your postcode and she’ll be there!

                    KEY TAKEAWAYS

                    • Psychologically minded and is incredibly empathetic
                    • She wins hands down as the power nap queen especially on a night out
                    • I want someone who communicates about what’s going on, their feelings and has respect for your time and energy
                    • Even when she's intoxicated, give her a postcode and she will sniff out the afters 
                    • An avid birdwatcher, if you are looking for someone who can identify many different species of birds then look no further she’s the one for you
                    • Independent as fuck - she is so social that she always bumps into someone she knows when you are out with her
                    • Although her weekends are packed with raves, brunches, parties, gigs she always makes time for the special people in her life  
                    • BEST MOMENTS
                      ‘I just bump into random people in random places all the time’
                      ‘It is a male and female Mallard, what do you mean?!’
                      ‘She can give you river dancing lessons and serenade you with her silky smooth soprano voice’
