This week marks the FIRST BIRTHDAY of the Swipe 'n' the City podcast! Join Marie and Michelle as they reminisce about how the podcast got started, what they've learned over the past year, and what some of their favorite episodes have been. They also have two exciting announcements, so don't miss the end!

Paul (AKA @pmjams) is back in the studio for another episode where he and the girls discuss real DM slides from real (we think) people. Whether you're a chick or a dude, here are a few things to probably NOT do when you're trying to get with someone.

Swipe 'n' the City is celebrating Pride Month with an extra special panel, so this week, it's all about them. Meet our guests: Gieselle (@giesellec), Brandon (@on_brand_brand.on), and Rebecca (@groomingbybecks). We are so grateful to them for their vulnerability and sharing their journeys with us. No matter how you identify, there are some great nuggets of wisdom here that we hope you all enjoy.

Mike the Producer is back in the studio with the girls and it gets real. This week, the team is defining toxicity in relationships and talking about warning signs (not just red flags) to look out for in a partner.

Saint Spicer is back and this time, she has more than just general dating app optimization tips! This week, we dig into matchmaking and dating coaches - what's the difference between the two, and how can you distinguish which ones are reputable and which ones just have a large Instagram following? There's a lot to consider and look out for, and believe it or not, it starts with yourself.

Saint (Jessica) Spicer works for matchmaker Vida Select. Learn more and schedule a consultation with Saint: https://www.vidaselect.com/schedule/jessica/

As always, slide into our DM's with your thoughts: @swipenthecity

This week, Michelle and Marie finish up their list of "how soon is too soon" topics and Michelle throws a wrench in with a few "how long is too long" prompts. How soon is too soon to say "I love you," and are the girls really as jaded as they seem?

Let us know your thoughts! DM @swipenthecity

Michelle and Marie are back in the studio - IRL - and they're joined by Paul (@pmjams) for another round of sh*t guys say! If you're wondering how NOT to slide into someone's DM's, this is it. Oh, and if you've got some cringey screenshots, send them in! @swipenthecity on all platforms. Enjoy!

You might remember him from the first episode of Sharing Black Stories - Dante is back in the virtual studio and getting into the details and some of the challenges he's faced dating as a gay Black man in Austin, Texas. He gets real with the girls about fetishizing, some of the initial messages he's recieved, and microaggressions he's heard. One thing to keep in mind? "Just because it's not happening to YOU doesn't mean it's not happening."

As always, slide in with feedback: @swipenthecity

This week's episode was inspired by an inappropriate joke Michelle's date made: How soon is too soon to make sexual jokes? Marie and Michelle have a bit of fun discussing a range of topics that people sometimes rush into when dating, but didn't quite get through the list. Stay tuned for more and submit your own to @swipenthecity on Instagram.

Wedding season is fast approaching, so whether you're planning (or re-planning!) your own wedding, or you plan on attending one as a guest, we've got a treat for you! Kristin Crooks, owner of Besher Events LLC (www.besherevents.com), is back and has some blunt wisdom for us all. She brings in some do's and don'ts for both planning AND attending weddings, stories of planning weddings through the pandemic, and important things to keep in mind.
