In this Valentine’s Day episode, host Cassandra Ryder interviews her sister Maddie about her real-life bad date stories and helps make sense of the chaos through communication research. Along the way, Cassandra finds out what Maddie’s go-to first date activity is, how she provided a photoshoot for one of her bad dates to help him revamp his dating profile (!?), and why the bar is so terribly low for dating.

If you or someone you know has a bad date story (or stories!) and would like to have it anonymously featured and analyzed on a future episode, please email it to [email protected]
