  1. Season 5, Episode 131 Trailer

    Season 5 is coming back with a BANG!

    Season 5 is coming back loud, funny, and a little bit feral. Catch me on YouTube at 7 pm Sunday, Sept 6th, and all other podcast platforms on Sept 9th at 6 am. Lulu Johnson returns with the story behind Dating, Laughter and Disasters - the book, the podcast, the live events, and the very personal reason she turned years of Berlin dating chaos into comedy that actually helps people. This podcast matters because it's about more than just dating. It's about reclaiming your story, building something of your own, and finding laughter in the middle of the mess. If you love candid storytelling, sharp honesty, and an Irish voice that never takes itself too seriously, this is an easy one to press play on. If you have ever wondered how to turn a messy love life into something useful, this one is for you. Lulu shares how an emotionally abusive relationship, years of hard-won self-awareness, and plenty of outrageous dating stories shaped her voice, her writing, and the show that now spans 130+ episodes. She also breaks down how the podcast grew into live shows, matchmaking events, and a wider creative life that includes writing, content, and a growing audience across Berlin and beyond. She talks honestly about loneliness, staying single on purpose, dating events, and why meeting people offline feels human again. Perfect for anyone navigating modern dating, starting over, or looking for a creator who can make the chaos feel a little more survivable.
