Hello & welcome to #single!\xa0 We're so glad you're here. \xa0\n\xa0The idea for this podcast came about because Jeanette (single for ten years, #notashamed) was writing posts on Facebook to voice her frustrations around dating - laughably awful dates, being stood up, trashy inbox messages and pictures, etc - and would finish each post with hashtag \u201csingle\u201d \u2013a bit of an ironic joke at the end and also summed everything up nicely. You\u2019d be surprised at the way people will rally around bad dating stories! The comment \u201cYou should write a book!\u201d kept coming up.\n\xa0\n Flash forward to 2018. Traci, newly single and coming out of a long-term relationship, was looking for a way to talk about the challenges of re-entering the online dating scene after having been away from it for several years.\n\xa0\n We\u2019d done improv together for many years and one night over drinks we decided it was time, now more than ever, that women\u2019s voices need to be heard. The intersection of feminism and dating was a podcast we were just itching to make, and one we think the world is ready to hear.\xa0 We made this trailer so listeners would get a better idea of what we're trying to achieve with this podcast.\xa0 It's not just for straight women, or women at all really, but because we're in a time where we feel it is important to raise up the female voice, it does prioritize and focus on women's stories & frustrations.\xa0 Listen in if you'd like to get a sense of why we made this - or just dive right in to Episode 1!\n\xa0\nThanks for joining in on the conversation!\n\xa0\nJeanette & Traci
