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.

Ditch the Apps & Break a Sweat: Dating IRL with Two Birds Fit's Karen Richards
Forget awkward small talk and endless swiping—what if finding love was as easy as working out in the park or running into someone (literally) at the grocery store? This week, Poppy and E sit down with Karen Richards, the mastermind behind Two Birds Fit, a unique speed-dating-meets-fitness community in Denver.
From speed-dating walks to singles mixers, Karen shares how her passion for fitness, matchmaking, and social connection led to a movement that’s getting people off the apps and into real-life connections. They talk about the challenges of balancing gender ratios, the surprising success stories, and why every man in Denver needs to sign up, particularly the 50+ crowd.
Poppy, E, and Karen also brainstorm the ultimate way to recruit singles—by running around town yelling, “Are you single?” (We’re serious. This is happening.) Plus, the gang dives into the psychology of attraction, grocery store dating strategies, and whether Joel should just start wearing his gold tracksuit everywhere.
If you’re over dating apps and ready to meet someone in the real world, this episode is your sign!
