Today, we’re taking the podcast in a different direction—because when you have two powerhouse journalists in the room, you lean into the big conversations. We’re joined by Mabel Kabani & Wren Woodson, the sharp and insightful minds behind NewGirls Podcast, and we’re about to unpack some of the most hotly debated questions in modern dating:Are dating apps actually helping us find love, or are they just keeping us swiping, spending, and searching? Can technology ever truly recreate the magic of meeting someone in real life? And with the rise of nonprofit matchmaking and even government-backed dating programs, could we be on the verge of a radical shift in how we find connection?But the biggest question of all—are we even using dating apps the right way, or is there a better approach?If you’re loving the conversation, hit that like button, drop a comment with your thoughts, and hit subscribe for more unfiltered dating talk on First Round’s on Me! ✨For detailed show notes, navigate using the timestamps below:1:30 Dating App Addiction6:50 Paradox of Choice10:13 Are Dating Apps Worse than Ever?18:32 Do We Know What We Want?22:07 Should Dating Apps Explain Their Algorithms?28:43 Government-Run Dating Apps?35:31 Rating Systems?40:45 How Do We Fix Dating Apps?Download FROM: https://firstroundsonme.co Instagram: / firstroundsonme TikTok: / firstroundsonmeapp Joe: https://www.instagram.com/firstroundsonjoe/Hannah : https://www.instagram.com/hannah_glasby/
