New Podcast Aims to Guide Listeners Through the Dating Jungle

Celebrating the complexities of contemporary dating, Elizabeth Day and Mel Schilling's podcast "How to Date" emerges as a resource for those seeking love in the digital age, offering advice born from personal experiences.

In the age of swipes and clicks, navigating the dating scene can feel overwhelming, especially for those re-entering it after a significant break. Enter “How to Date,” a new podcast hosted by British writer Elizabeth Day and dating coach Mel Schilling, created to help listeners traverse this challenging landscape.

Elizabeth Day, who recently found herself single after a prolonged marriage, candidly describes her return to dating as stepping into a “jungle.” After years of long-term relationships, Day was confronted with the reality of modern dating apps, having not dated since their rise. Ultimately, she found love through Hinge, propelling her to share her insights with others.

Now hosting “How to Date,” a spin-off from her successful podcast “How to Fail,” the show features Day alongside Schilling, known for her role in the reality show “Married at First Sight.” Both hosts, who married at 39 via online platforms, understand the emotional rollercoaster that dating can bring.

“I want to teach the world how to date,” said Day. She reflected on her desire for a guiding resource during her own dating experience, leading to the creation of this invaluable podcast. The series promises to be a helpful companion for anyone grappling with the complexities of modern romance.
