Aniesha Brahma and Aashna Iyer
There are as many dating podcasts as there are dating apps. But the hosts decided on this format to focus on a flowing conversation. “Podcast consumption patterns are easier. And the whole point was to have a discussion,” Iyer concludes.
Our take
A topic like dating, love and relationships requires honesty, fun and a judgement-free space. This is what the show offers — personal narratives, some shared experiences and different perspectives. There’s the occasional quotable remark in every show such as in the first episode about finding Romeo, Brahma says, “Recently, I came to terms with the fact that you don’t need anyone to save you, what you do need is a weirdo to be there with you while you save yourself.” The conversation is familiar like the ones you’ve shared before with friends, and it unfolds in a similar way — moving into adjacent thoughts, responding, laughing. In season two, we would like to see better production as well as a wider range of experiences and perspectives by voices from the queer community.
