93. I’m So F-ing Grateful For My Ex

Jenn and Julien from Ex Appeal podcast address an age old question – can straight men and women TRULY be friends? They share how their relationship evolved from hook up buddies to friends and podcast cohosts, and tackle questions like whether friendship can co-exist with sexual attraction, how much detail your partner needs to know about your past hookups, and whether accountants really need their own podcasts.

78. Exes and the City w/Jenna Langbaum

Jenna Langbaum, author of Me In Search of You, gives an honest and unfiltered view of what it’s actually like to date in New York through short stories that span everything from a first date rife with overshares, Bumble profile dealbreakers, and the sinking realization you’re being ghosted by someone you weren’t even that into. She distinguishes the few moments in the city that DO actually make you feel like Carrie Bradshaw vs. the modern dating experiences that are notably absent from Sex and the City, Gossip Girl, Friends, and the like.

51. Heartbreak Hot Seat

Interstates & Heartbreak has its most surprising guest yet, as I relinquish hosting duties and become the interview subject. High school friends Will Rippetoe and David Zeff unabashedly probe into my dating past, present, and preferences, covering topics like my unmatched love of female strippers, what makes someone a f***boy/girl, and a time when I myself was worthy of the f***girl title.

49. Case of the Ex

This week’s episode has redacted names to protect the innocent AND the guilty in a discussion that dives into a tangled web of lies and deception. We dive into a 10-year saga of a guy who seemed like “the one,” until he wasn’t. A great lesson in trust, intuition, and strategic Instagram stalking.

47. I Love You, [Wing]Man

This week on Interstates & Heartbreak, we hear a male perspective on dating in Los Angeles. I interview the primary beneficiary of my wingwoman skills, Ryan Pantages, to reflect on the role our friendship has played in our respective dating journeys over the years – including my unsolicited input into Ryan’s choice of wardrobe and neighborhood, and his strong disapproval of two very specific individuals I dated in the past. ​
