Marc & Rachel are joined by poet and spoken word artist Cat Hepburn (@CatHepburnWrite) to discuss a mishmash (or smorgasbord, depending on your preference) of dating-related topics, with listener submissions on dating people from different cultures, yet another ghosting story and an Agony Aunt/Uncle/Cousin question for the three to solve. Rachel and Cat compare what it's like dating Scottish guys versus their international counterparts, Marc is bewildered at Rachel's habit of getting into arguments on Tinder, and Rachel reveals the book Marc read as a child that started him on his self-improvement journey.
Cat's new book Dating & Other Hobbies is out on April 29th and available for pre-order now:

Ep 13: Being Single - with Josh Jones

This week Rachel and Marc are joined by comedian and podcaster Josh Jones to chat about the pros and cons of single life. With listener submissions on third wheeling, dining alone and going to a wedding solo, they discuss when being “the single one” can be awkward and when it can be liberating.
In a wide-ranging chat with plenty of laughs, Rachel reveals the time she went to a wedding literally dressed as a lemon, Josh shares the story of the time he was proposed to, and Marc recalls being consigned to a hotel floor whilst hearing the couple in the room below doing everything he wasn’t. Josh then asks the hosts perhaps the burning question of the entire podcast - are Rachel and Marc just commitmentphobes?

Ep 15: One Night Stands

A bumper episode this week as Rachel and Marc talk one night stands... and unsurprisingly have a lot to say on the matter. Swapping stories from some of their funniest flings, they recall the awkwardness of trying to bring someone back to their parents' place, chat about the pros and cons of casual sex, and discuss the differing attitudes society has towards men and women when it comes to promiscuity.
Alongside several listener submissions, Marc shares an epiphany he had after a youthful liaison, Rachel reveals her method of keeping track of previous conquests, and the two debate whether someone you've slept with is owed a "duty of care" text... leading to a rather unexpected revelation.
