In a world where dating through your phone has hands-down become the norm, it can be fucking scary navigating the steps to relationship bliss IRL ‘cos actual human interaction is the actual worst.
Enter Waiting for a D8 (WFAD) the latest addition to our Pedestrian Podcast Network which explores the ups and downs of dating and everything we put ourselves through to chase that ~feeling~.
Hosted by Lifestyle Editor and occasional Sexpo attendee Lucinda Price, the first ep of WFAD covers everything from nightmare first dates to grooming habits and debates about whether scrubbing your entire body should be a pre-date ritual (still up in the air, tbh). They also delve into the appropriate way to greet your Tinder date that doesn’t accidentally end in the awkward hug-shake.
We also managed to rope greek god, magician and part-time Tim Tam genie Apollo Jackson into the first ep, who chatted about dating do’s and don’ts, his new single and that devo time his coffee cup shat itself, resulting in a (seemingly related) unsuccessful date.
If that wasn’t enough to cram into a sweet 28-odd mins, Lucinda phoned Call On Me bop-machine Starley, who dished some no-bullshit dating advice that honestly made me question my own integrity and whether I was a terrible person in general. Feel-good podcasts for the win.
Tickled ya fancy? Have a listen below:
If you’re thirsty for another ep, stay tuned – there’ll be more hygiene debates, first date debacles and car-crash dating stories hitting ya ears crazy soon.
