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.

The Love Laugh Lounge Takes on Dating Apps (Again)
Welcome back to The Love Laugh Lounge—the Festivus of Dating, where we air our grievances, roast our own love lives, and dish out completely unqualified advice.
In this episode, Poppy and E dive deep into the world of online dating—again—because let’s face it, the apps are the gift that keeps on giving… headaches. From Hinge's hidden inbox mysteries to the oddly specific clichés in women’s profiles (why does everyone love clean sheets and sushi?), we’re unpacking the weird, the frustrating, and the occasionally hilarious reality of modern dating.
We discuss:
- The art of the non-date first date (yes, coffee is fine, get over it).
- Why your dating profile probably needs a revamp.
- The real reason you’re getting ghosted (hint: it's not that deep).
- How dating apps have basically become another form of social media.
- And of course, the mandatory roasting of our own dating habits.
Oh, and we may or may not be scheming a completely absurd dating profile experiment just for fun.
So grab a drink, swipe responsibly, and join us for another round of unfiltered dating chaos.
