Ep. 8 One Night Stands

The #MeToo movement has changed not only the workplace, but also the dating scene. Getting someone too many drinks on a date, to get a few more kisses out of it is not right. Buying someone a drink doesn’t give you permission to take them home, and seeing a woman with a pronounced cleavage is not a green light for anything. Consent is the only green or red light you should get. Today’s episode is dedicated to teach you and me about consent. Featuring: Matty Konrath, a 30-something year old woman living in NYC, who went to a curly hair salon in the neighborhood of Gramercy in Manhattan, and did not get the best haircut… or experience. Domina Franco, a sex educator, coach and writer who has been studying human sexuality for over 20 years. For the male perspective we talked with Mark Pagan, who, for personal curiosity, has been studying masculinity for a while and produces the awarded podcast: Other Men Need Help. We also talked to Jamie Ansley and Courtney Cleman from The V Club. Courtney Cleman is a New York City based sex + relationship expert. She co-founded The V Club in New York City to help women and men break down the mental barriers that prevent them from having the love life they desire. Jamie Anslie is a drama therapist. She teaches group and private classes and also leads the Talk Love Chat support group. The V Club is a space that offers masterclasses that teach women and men everything they need to know about dating, love and relationships to create the love life of their dreams. It currently offers 5 types of classes: How to Get a Second Date, Ladies Come First, Men by Design, The Mature Woman’s Guide to Sexual Health and Relationships and Talk Love: Chat Group. Your host and producer is Vanessa Valerio. Our music on this episode is the song “Colorless” by Twintapes. Today’s episode is sponsored by TukFab, a tuk tuk design and fabrication company.

Ep. 28: Mothers Day Special

At least once in our lives we have had a big crush on a friend, and chances are that we ended up being heartbroken because our love is not reciprocated.

Sam Dingman, a storyteller, podcaster, improviser and Moth GrandSlam winner, tells us a story about his teenage love, which basically is an episode of Dawson’s Creek. II How can we get out of that pink color area that is the friend zone?... Rupert Eyles, a storyteller from the UK, tells us how he went from being the principal friend to a married man. III I get a free and fun therapy session from Tami Gatta, a therapist in Brooklyn that uses creative outlets as part of her therapy healing treatments. IV The friend zone from the eyes of Tarik Daniels, a fabulous guy comedian in NYC. V After the storm, there comes the calm. Angela, a fashion designer in Miami tells us how she fell in love.   www.wearesingleling.com @wearesingleling
