Swiping Right Into Hell

Julia Hava & Eliza McLamb
About this episode
The girlies investigate the 21st century travesty known as dating apps to answer important questions - Is creating a dating profile akin to selling yourself at the meat market? Do apps mitigate the uncertainty of meeting someone IRL? Is Tinder just Grindr for straight people? Digressions include Julia's visit to a mystic energy healer, the death of the Queen and #herimpact, and one listener's scientific study proving that men will overlook all obstacles in order to smash.
