    Has it only been a week since Episode 1 came out? I feel like it’s been at least a year. But hey! At least I’m not blowing the schedule yet! That’s very exciting!
    In this episode, we repeat our too-many-dates-in-one-week past, get a little hot under the collar, and have to ask the existential question—is this even a date?
    A bunch of extra thanks and nods here: first up, thanks to Alastair James Murden who played the roles of Sam, Tim and Joey. You can learn more about him at his web site. Major props also to Matthew Hall, who voiced Robbie—find more of Matthew’s work by clicking here.
    Thanks again to TONGUES. whose tunes continue to rock our world. Make sure you give them a listen without me yammering over their awesomeness: you can find their stuff at Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music, and on the web at www.tonguesmusic.com.
    If for some reason you haven’t seen Sister Act 1 or 2, they’re both available on Hulu, as is Die Hard 1, which is arguably the greatest Christmas movie of all time. Die Hard 2: Die Harder, is available to stream with a Cinemax Subscription through Amazon. You’ll have to pony up cash to watch the Muppet Christmas Carol, but it’s available to buy everywhere. You can stream the entirety of Queen Elizabeth II’s 2015 Christmas message on YouTube. You can find Autre Ne Veut’s Anxiety on Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music.

    In this episode, we plan ahead, then head North, first to Manchester, then to Scotland! It's a magical place, and even a little magically unpredictable. That's a good thing, in case you were wondering.

    The Return

    After the highs and lows of last week, we're back with more highs and, well, not quite lows, but some weirdy bits that were not altogether pleasant.

    The Market

    Patience is a virtue and sometimes it's a really unpleasant virtue that we're not great at having and then in the end don't really have anyway.

My new favorite story-telling podcast.

I found this podcast about a month ago and was hooked after one episode. I binge listened to the whole first season in 2 days, and now I’ve listened to every episode of the second season the day it was released. Charlie’s presentation of his love life is witty, charming, and sometimes painfully relatable. Now that this season is ending, I’m torn between hoping for another season and hoping the host find love and doesn’t need another season.

Serial Dater

This podcast leaves you yearning for the next episode. Well written, charming, and hilarious. No matter your demographic profile, you will recognize yourself as you listen to the author describe his journey through the netherworld of dating and other timeless topics.

Update after listening to Season 2:
The first season was all the things you want in a podcast: hilarious, charming, heartfelt and eloquent. The British installments are all that and much more.

Were there a place in the podcast universe that chronicles the impact of social media on our culture, this podcast should be there. There is heartbreak and revelation, written with insight and delivered in a style that pulls you in, entertains, and leaves even the most romantically cynical listener wanting more. As the British say: Well done!
