Dating in 2024 is like navigating a minefield while teetering on 6-inch stilettos as you balance a precariously stacked pile of bone china plates. Even though the Internet provides us with a new trend or buzzword every other week, dealing with relationship issues has somehow become harder.
One thing that is a beacon of hope in the bleak landscape of modern dating is the number of podcasts available on different aspects of love and relationships. From sound advice to hilarious insights into the world of dating, relationships, desire, sex, and pleasure, these podcasts are a must-listen for anyone who needs a helping hand in matters of love.
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we decided to round up some of our favourite podcasts out there that talk about love and relationships. Happy listening!
