New Podcast "How to Date" Navigates the Complex World of Modern Romance

In their new podcast "How to Date," Elizabeth Day and dating coach Mel Schilling share their experiences and tips for finding love through dating apps, aiming to assist others in the often challenging realm of modern romance.

In her late 30s, British writer Elizabeth Day faced the unexpected world of modern dating, emerging from a series of long-term relationships and a divorce. Having not been single since dating apps made their debut, Day described the dating scene as akin to a "jungle." At 46, she recounted her personal journey that ultimately led her to meet her husband on Hinge.

Inspired by her challenges, Day launched a new podcast titled "How to Date," a limited series that extends from her long-running podcast "How to Fail," now in its 20th season. Co-hosting with her is Mel Schilling, a dating expert known for her role on the reality show “Married at First Sight,” where couples meet and marry on the same day.

Both women connected with their partners online at the age of 39 and vow to share their experiences with others who may be struggling in the dating landscape. “I want to teach the world how to date,” Day expressed, emphasizing the need for guidance in navigating current romance avenues.

Schilling's expertise complements Day's relatable storytelling, creating a dynamic platform intended to equip listeners with the necessary tools and knowledge for successful dating in a tech-driven world.
