A No-BS Podcast About the Single Life After 30
Welcome to You Single?—the podcast for those of us navigating singlehood in our 30s, 40s, and beyond. Hosted by your favorite friendly Sasquatch, Joel Poppert, and the fiery and fabulous Emanuela Messineo (aka “E”), this show is for anyone who’s ever swiped left, been ghosted (or done the ghosting), and questioned whether dating apps are completely broken.
We’re here to talk about the reality of single life as grown-ass adults. Dating? Sure. But also, the joys (and occasional disasters) of being unattached. From cringey first dates to the freedom of doing whatever the hell you want, we cover it all—unfiltered, unscripted, and fully embracing our middle-aged dorkiness.
Expect hilarious rants, real talk, and the occasional deep dive into why the fuck it’s so hard to meet people these days. Whether you’re actively dating, happily single, or just vibing in between, You Single? is your place to laugh, commiserate, and own this chapter of your life.
💥 Bonus Content: Midlife Uncensored 💥
For when we’re not talking about dating, we bring you Midlife Uncensored—a no-holds-barred sub-series where we rip the band-aid off midlife. From career shifts and parenting chaos to reinventing ourselves (or just trying to survive the day), this is where we get real about the highs, lows, and WTF moments of getting older. No filters, no sugarcoating—just raw, relatable stories and plenty of humor.
So, are you single? Let’s mingle. And if you’re just here to laugh at the absurdity of midlife—well, we’ve got that covered too.

Myself, My Journey and Why The Owning Alone Podcast
In this solo recording, I humbly lay myself out there, and open up about why I have started The Owning Alone Podcast and help provide a bit of my background on myself and how I came to starting this Podcast. I lay out the framework of the podcast, who it is directed at, why it is important today in modern times, then get into the thesis, my vision and the mission. I get vulnerable about my past and who I am as a human and end the episode sharing my perspective gained from reading a recent article published in the Atlantic by Derek Thompson, titled “Why American’s Suddenly Stopped Hanging Out.”
