Single Because: True Stories of Love, Dating and Other Misadventures

If you are looking for a podcast where guests just tell their relationship stories, this is a super one. Melani is an excellent host. She asks the questions I would ask without being overly nosy or gossipy. I have only listened to the first two and have been moved to tears twice already.

you guys deserve a better sound system :)

Love this podcast! And Melani is hot!

I listen to all sorts of podcasts and this is one of my favorites. I'm not single but I love hearing people's stories and Melani gets them from people really well, asking great questions. I like her humor and sass!! Keep going I need to hear more.

I love Melani's blog and subscribe to this podcast on the Outcast app. I love her no-nonsense approach to relationships (romantic and otherwise) and find her interview style to be open and compassionate. It's a great way to hear stories from real people and I enjoy every episode. The episodes are not super frequent, but I am always happy when I see a new one in my queue.

You don't have to be single to enjoy this podcast! If anything, some of the stories will make you appreciate not being single! And if you are single, this podcast will help you find a lighter side to dating. I really enjoy the openness of the interviews. Melani is so funny, and she makes you feel like you are friends with her! Can't wait for more episodes!

I just finished the 6th episode and I have really enjoying all the episodes. I like how Melanie stops to give her personal thoughts.

Melani is as real as it gets. Loved her dating blog and this podcast is a natural progression. You won't be disappointed.

I love Melani's perspective on the dating world. So honest, so inclusive of us all. I love her voice on the podcast as I have enjoyed her writing for several years now. It literally puts a smile on my face when I see a new installment. Don't know her, never met her, but she has been bringing me joy for a long while. And continues to do so, even though I have found my "significant other" (ugh on the moniker) in the last two years. It ain't easy in the relationship/dating world. It still helps me ... more

I've listened to episodes 1 and 9. Both were very interesting and the time went by fast. I've always found ordinary people's stories fascinating and in this aspect the podcast does not disappoint. Episode 1 was excellent. lt presented a profile of a regular, good guy who has never made a lasting romantic connection. He is a natural storyteller and tells tales that have equal parts humor and empathy. The host reveals a surprising twist at the end.

Episode 9, starts out well and then really amps... more

Just listened to episode 8 and thoroughly enjoyed Melani's casual, unpretentious interview style, and her apparent psychic ability to perceive and ask the questions her listeners are already thinking. Unlike many podcasters who have the proverbial "face meant for radio" Ms. Robinson is the complete package, easy on both the ears AND the eyes. I don't always listen to sex and relationship podcasts, but when I do, I like them to be hosted by people I can believe actually have vibrant sex lives! :D... more

Wonderful Podcast! Certainly interesting and very informative ;) Wasn’t sure where it was going and liked how it unfolded. Interesting that he started out wanting a relationship as the "transitional guy”; was he wanting a traditional relationship or polyamorous one then? Possibly that’s why many of the women say him as not boyfriend material? That and the fact that he couldn’t afford steak may have played a roll as him fitting the “just for fun/sex” guy. Just a thought. Loved how you brough... more

I'm so addicted to this podcast and storytelling!! As a widow entering this new dating world in my early 50s I can relate to some of the stories and emotions expressed. Thank you to Melani and her guests for being brave in sharing their experiences and what they've learned. Melani, you have such a witty, warm and calming manner who wouldn't open up to you! I love that you curse just as much as I do!! Isn't so therapeutic?! Keep up the great work and bravo for creating a podcast I would have lov... more

As always, Melani Robinson delivers insightful, honest and direct information we all think about but are sometimes afraid to say out loud. Melani gives us permission - listen then take her valuable advice and insight. (my confession, I'm an ex)

Lately, I've enjoyed podcasts of real people telling interesting stories. This is pretty good.
