Join Tim and LeeAnna for Alchemy... Today, our podcasters tackle the overhyped meet-cute—and then dive into its far more entertaining cousin, the meet-ugly. Writers, get ready to throw your tired old tropes out the window. Non-writers, stick around anyway—it’s going to get weird, and you’ll probably learn something without even trying.

Of course, as with all our podcasts, we’ve spared you the anxiety-fueled ads for home security systems that spend 30 seconds making you terrified someone’s about to break in—only to promise they’ll fix it for just a dollar a day. You’re welcome—because we care about your peace of mind (and your bank account). And if one of those ads sneaks through, I swear we didn’t approve it. Just blame it on the algorithm’s love for stressing you out, then ‘solving’ it."
