  • Loved your pod on AI

    I loved your podcast about AI and it’s influence on dating and dating apps for seniors. I loved your mysterious MA participant, and thought she was very articulate and well spoken. I take it she represents the allure of this budding sub industry. Just kidding.

  • Sigh.

    Long time listener. The Love Across the Divide episodes put a spotlight on why I always had a sense of dread before listening to each episode - the unbearable wokeness. And no, that is not a complimentary term. I’m not offended, it’s just boring. No longer worth it.

  • Mostly Ads and Old Content — DO BETTER

    This “new” season is 1-2 new episodes and encores of old content. Don’t start a podcast if you can’t actually commit to creating content. It’s also mostly ads. Ugh!
