58 episodes

Say hi to Meet/Cute, a podcast about getting together, breaking up, and everything that comes in between. 
I’m your host, Rosemary Mac Cabe, journalist and author of the book, This is Not About You, a memoir told through a chronology of romantic relationships. As I was putting the book together, I started to think about how fascinating romance is. What brings two people together? And what tears them apart? 
In this podcast, I’ll be talking to as wide an array of people as I can about the relationships that have colored the landscape of their lives. What age were they when they met their first love? Do they have a type? What red flags have they started to recognize along the way? 
In other words: tell. Me. Everything.
This is a podcast for romantics; it’s a podcast for lovers, and dreamers; it’s a podcast for anthropologists but, above all else, it’s a podcast for nosy f*ckers. Join me every Thursday for a new chat about the ins and outs – if you’ll excuse the pun – of finding love. 
Meet/Cute, available wherever you get podcasts.

    Lavendelle found love at a frat party

    Burlesque dancer Lavendelle met her husband in the basement of a fraternity when she was 17 – but before that, she'd had many a romantic meet/cute moment, as well as many a not-so-romantic back-of-the-cinema makeout session.

    Sophie White missed out

    Sophie White missed out

    Sophie White met her husband way too young – or so she says, meaning she missed out on the "fun" (? questionable) of Tinder, Bumble and Hinge. But she likes him a lot, so it's probably okay. (But she'd still like a little hall pass and thinks all bisexuals should get one.)
    Follow Sophie on Instagram @sophwhitewhoop or check out her full bibliography on her website, here. You can listen to The Creep Dive wherever you get podcasts, or subscribe to be in the Mother of Pod club.

Real growth

Have always loved R MacCabes podcasts - she has really grown with her audience over the last decade or so. Adore following her journey and this series is full of real, relatable and intelligent women.
