    Keeping it real...but about sex?

    Keeping it real...but about sex?

    Let's talk about sex, baby! It's something that is on all our minds (let's be real) - from kinks and fetishes to porn and masturbation, much of relationships are defined by sex and sexual compatibility. Many of these topics can feel taboo but it shouldn't; we are all grown folks here. In this finale of the season, Kina and Shala delve into questions like, is oral sex considered sex? And that age old question, spit or swallow? Along the way, we even learn some (surprising) things about each other... Hope you enjoyed this first season as much as we enjoyed making it. We will still be around and hope to continue to hear from you. Follow us on instagram @husbandhuntingpodcast for show updates.

    All single...but not the same?

    All single...but not the same?

    Singledom is not a monolith. And with these various types of singles come differing perspectives, expectations, and desires in regard to dating and relationships. In the quest to adequately assess all sides to the story, we have put together a panel of singles to spill the tea and give the lowdown on where they stand in their respective hunts - your cohosts Kina (single but not really) and Shala (perpetually single and looking) are joined by Marie (single and divorced with kids) and Dari (single but not looking?). How do our single situations affect our dating swag? Find out this and more in this penultimate episode of the season. Catch up on all the shenanigans before the end by subscribing on your favorite podcast platform and by following us on instagram @husbandhuntingpodcast.

    Making it work...but after cheating?

    Making it work...but after cheating?

    For some of us, having our partner stepping out on the relationship means we would be stepping away from it for good. For others, sometimes it just ain't that simple. The proverbial "they" say once a cheater, always a cheater but could it be more complicated than that? In this episode, we side-eye our way through supposed explanations like "there was something missing from the relationship" and "it was just a moment of weakness". Let's be honest; some men (and women) just see monogamy as a social construct and prefer to shoot their shot whenever they have the opportunity. This couldn’t be more evident than in our segment “In Pop Culture” ‘cuz Cardi B and Offset seemingly just can’t stop bringing us into their cheating (publicity stunt?) drama and reconciliations. Follow this podcast on instagram at @husbandhuntingpodcast and the cohosts at @all.things.kina (Kina) and @curating.stories (Shala).

    Taking it public...but on social media?

    Taking it public...but on social media?

    Kina and Shala are individuals. And sometimes individuals have wildly differing opinions. This is one of those times. In this week's episode, we examine the intersection of one’s dating life and social media life. How much do you share online and when? Do you at all? Is posting one photo together really such a big deal (one of us thinks so)? Publicizing your relationship on social media has pros and cons, advantages and pitfalls, from the beginning stages right on through to the altar. One person’s celebration of their love life is another person’s trying too hard to prove a point. Some things you just can’t take back when it hits that social media feed. In our segment 'Date or Dash' we consider what it would be like to go out with someone who likes to document every date moment for the 'gram. Which co-host do you side with this week? Drop us a line. You can reach us at husbandhuntingpodcast@gmail.com 24/7.

    Not being chosen...but based on complexion?

    Not being chosen...but based on complexion?

    Sometimes people aren't able to separate who they are attracted to from the preconceptions ingrained in them. Being "chosen" (or not) in the dating world could all come down to the complexion of your skin. In this episode we welcome our first guest, Sai, to lend us a hand as we talk colorism - the stereotypes people may attach to skin color, the impact and manifestations of colorism across cultures, and where this obsession with lighter skin being the standard of beauty may come from. We share life experiences on how colorism has affected us personally and commiserate on how this presents yet another hurdle for us women of color in finding partners. Oh, and differentiating between skin tones may be a skill some of us just don't have. In our segment called "If I Could Rule The World", we provide our thoughts on how we would change the perceptions of skin color (spoiler: it's very Lupita-centric). Follow us, your hosts, on Instagram at @all.things.kina (Kina) and @curating.stories (Shala). If this topic moves you in any way, we would love to hear your stories; contact us at husbandhuntingpodcast@gmail.com.

    From the mouths of men

    From the mouths of men

    BONUS: During our "art of the pickup confessional", the men we interviewed turned the tables on us and dropped what their dating experiences have taught them about what women want as well as their advice on how they think women should conduct themselves while dating to guarantee the best returns. Take a listen.
