Meet/Cute
108 episodes - English - Latest episode: 11 months ago - ★★★★★ - 16 ratingsSay hi to Meet/Cute, a podcast about getting together, breaking up, and everything that comes in between.
I’m your host, Rosemary Mac Cabe, journalist and author of the book, This is Not About You, a memoir told through a chronology of romantic relationships. As I was putting the book together, I started to think about how fascinating romance is. What brings two people together? And what tears them apart?
In this podcast, I’ll be talking to as wide an array of people as I can about the relationships that have colored the landscape of their lives. What age were they when they met their first love? Do they have a type? What red flags have they started to recognize along the way?
In other words: tell. Me. Everything.
This is a podcast for romantics; it’s a podcast for lovers, and dreamers; it’s a podcast for anthropologists but, above all else, it’s a podcast for nosy f*ckers. Join me every Thursday for a new chat about the ins and outs – if you’ll excuse the pun – of finding love.
Meet/Cute, available wherever you get podcasts.

Sophie White missed out

Ford knows a lot about love, thanks to her husband, who taught her that love isn't a competition; her upbringing, which showed her the ways she didn't want to be loved; and the work she's been able to do on herself, which allowed her to believe she's worthy of that love to begin with. Somebody's Daughter, Ashley's memoir, is available now wherever books are sold. From indie booksellers, Split Rock Books in the US has it; as does Gutter Bookshop i...
