Podcasts about Matchmaking

Today, we’re bringing you the best from another KUOW podcast, Booming. Seattle is becoming a city of singles. And that’s turned one of the world’s oldest businesses into one of the hottest new ones. App fatigue is causing more and more singles to break up with online dating. Instead of swiping, more and more people are turning to matchmakers and other ways to find love IRL. Often spending thousands of dollars in the process. Matchmaking is having a moment. Could it solve what some are calling the 'relationship recession' and help the economy as well?

Kate Adie introduces stories on the hidden networks providing vital lifelines to women and girls in Afghanistan, Gaza's tech entrepreneurs rebooting the digital economy, China's bogus dating agencies, and the hunt for a hard-to-find critter in the Australian bush. It's been five years since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan. Lyse Doucet and Mahjooba Nowrouzi report on the severe restrictions placed on the freedoms and ambitions of women and girls, and the subsequent emergence of underground networks which are provide vital support - from education to legal advice for women seeking divorce. Since the ceasefire was announced last year, little progress has been made in Gaza in terms of reconstruction. But young tech-entrepreneurs are taking matters into their own hands, rebooting Gaza's fledgling digital economy and providing a much-needed source of income. Yolande Knell has been speaking to tech-savvy Palestinians. Matchmaking websites that help people find a soulmate can earn huge sums of money. Unfortunately it's an industry where fraudsters exploit lonely hearts looking for love. As Laura Bicker reports it is a serious problem in China, where some men have been cheated out of their life savings by bogus matchmakers. Australia is a country full of animals found nowhere else in the world, but many are under serious threat of extinction, with around four species disappearing every decade. But as Tiffanie Turnbull discovered, there is hope with some species bucking the trend - including the rare Australian marsupial, the numbat.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you spend nearly $200 on a first date, only to hear, “I don't see a romantic connection”?On this episode of Playing 4 Keeps, DJ sits down with Sean Garvey for a conversation about dating expectations, rejection, money, accountability, and what men and women really owe each other after a date.Sean shares the story of taking a woman out, covering the entire bill, and later jokingly asking for his money back after she told him she wasn't interested. He also opens up about how his perspective has changed since then, why he now believes some dating lessons simply come with a cost, and how getting to know someone before rushing into a date can save time, money, and disappointment. But the conversation does not stop there. Sean gets personal about a past relationship that pushed him outside of his comfort zone, challenged how he saw himself, and led to unexpected experiences around intimacy, identity, and personal growth. He and DJ also unpack the difference between being challenged in a relationship and losing yourself trying to become what someone else wants.  And when it comes to what Sean wants now, he makes one thing clear: he is not interested in dating just for the experience anymore. He is looking to build with someone who is healed, intentional, open-minded, and ready for something real. Follow Sean on Instagram: @seangarveyatlSupport the showProduced by Organized MovementsRecorded at PriviCast StudioVisit our Website playing4keepsdating.com

Would you hand over your dating life to artificial intelligence? Better question... would you trust Rafe Williams with your dating profile? That's the completely reasonable debate the gang accidentally has on today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, where one ridiculous idea somehow spirals into an entire discussion about modern dating, catfishing, AI matchmaking, relationship green flags, restaurant red flags, and why everyone's emotional baggage apparently comes with free shipping.It all starts with Rafe pitching what may be the worst—or greatest—experiment in show history: creating dating app profiles using Rizzuto's photos just to see what kind of chaos happens. Naturally, the room immediately realizes this could destroy friendships, marriages, reputations, and probably a few Terms of Service agreements. The conversation somehow gets even weirder when everyone starts debating whether younger versions of themselves would outperform their current selves on dating apps, complete with AI-generated aging photos and nostalgic stories from the early internet.Then things take a futuristic turn as the crew dives into a new AI-powered matchmaking service that's arranging dates for college students. Instead of endless swiping, artificial intelligence chooses your match, schedules your date, and may eventually give you conversation topics before you even meet. Convenient? Creepy? A little of both? The gang debates whether we're heading toward a future where AI agents date each other before humans ever have to.Of course, it wouldn't be The Rizzuto Show without immediately asking ChatGPT to describe everyone's ideal romantic partner. The results are surprisingly deep, unexpectedly hilarious, and occasionally a little too accurate for comfort. Nothing says "healthy discussion" like being emotionally profiled by a chatbot.Later, the conversation shifts into relationship green flags as the crew breaks down the little traits that instantly make someone more attractive—from confidence and curiosity to financial responsibility, power tools, good posture, and apparently picking things up with your toes.Finally, they tackle one of the biggest personality tests there is: going out to eat together. How someone treats restaurant staff, orders their meal, handles mistakes, tips, uses their phone, or reacts to cold mashed potatoes might reveal everything you need to know before committing to a second date.It's relationship advice... if your therapists were sarcastic morning radio hosts.Whether you're happily married, endlessly swiping, or just here for the laughs, today's comedy podcast delivers plenty of ridiculous debates, relatable stories, and classic Rizz Show chaos.If you're looking for a comedy podcast that somehow turns dating apps, AI, and restaurant etiquette into nonstop entertainment, you've found your people.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After months of talking, he flew to Atlanta, proposed in a restaurant, promised her a new life, and appeared to repay everything he owed.

Send us Fan MailIn this reintroduction to Playing 4 Keeps, host DJ Robinson shares the unbelievable dating story that helped inspire her to create a dating app built for Atlanta singles.What started as a same-day dating-app match quickly turned into a whirlwind connection filled with warning signs. Within two weeks, DJ had rented a car in the man's name, arrived at a Walmart surrounded by police and discovered that the person she had been dating was carrying multiple identities, credit cards and secrets—including the fact that she did not even know his real name.But the story did not end with his arrest. DJ opens up about the decisions she made afterward, the red flags she ignored and the turbulent relationship that followed. She also takes accountability for the healing and personal growth that helped her understand why she remained in a situation she had every opportunity to leave.That experience eventually became part of the foundation for Playing 4 Keeps—an app designed to help singles understand themselves more deeply through emotional intelligence, attachment theory, personality assessments and intentional dating.DJ also introduces the new direction of the podcast, shares one of her biggest dating red flags and pet peeves, and invites Atlanta singles to bring their funniest, wildest and most meaningful dating stories to the show.The goal is not just to find more matches. It is to help people know themselves, recognize the signs and choose better—because real love starts with self-awareness.Support the showProduced by Organized MovementsRecorded at PriviCast StudioVisit our Website playing4keepsdating.com

When Mary Timby travelled to Ireland's famous Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival, she never imagined she'd meet her boyfriend.    That began as a once-in-a-lifetime trip became a life-changing experience, and now she's on a mission to help others discover the same sense of connection, adventure and possibility.   Through a new partnership with Met Through Friends, Mary is inviting people to experience the festival for themselves, not with any promises of romance, but with the hope that they might return home with unforgettable memories, meaningful friendships, or perhaps even a love story of their own.

https://linktr.ee/csjosephWhat's up, you hackers? In this 16:43 episode of the CS Joseph Podcast, I expose the massive problems with Imploder-Imploder relationships in the "safe zones" of modern dating and marriage.These "safe" pairings lead to zero communication, covert abuse, unfulfilling sex, neglected children, and a massive emotional/financial drain on extended family. I explain exactly how they form (church, matchmaking, referrals), why they're so destructive compared to Exploder relationships, and the real solution involving Octagram awareness and crush development.If you're done with dysfunctional relationships and want true compatibility, this episode delivers.

The system that decides whether you have a good night in multiplayer almostnever gets explained by the people who actually build it. Today it does.Call of Duty just walked back the biggest matchmaking change in its history.Activision recently published internal white papers explaining parts of howtheir system actually works, which is rare for an industry that usually treatsthis stuff as proprietary. Lewis Ward and Greg Posner sit down with CharlieOlson, the engineer who helped architect Call of Duty's matchmaking ratingsystem back in 2015, to walk through what the white papers actually said,what they left out, and what's broken about how the industry thinks aboutmultiplayer matchmaking."Matchmaking is part of the UX. It's not a technical problem. This is adesign problem." — Charlie Olson

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes back Laketa Henderson, Michigan District Director, SBA, U.S. Small Business Administration, Detroit, MI. The SBA's second Supplier Matchmaking Expo of the year is fast approaching – this Friday in Detroit, in fact. Remind us why the SBA is doing this and why matchmaking events are so important to the health of the American small business dream? The event emphasizes strengthening U.S. supply chains and “Made in America” partnerships. What opportunities does that create specifically for Michigan manufacturers and suppliers? Speaking of “Made in America,” our nation is celebrating Freedom 250 this year. Is the SBA doing anything special? A Patriot Pitch Competition? What is it, what can businesses win, and how can they apply? There are several stages of judging, but competitors have to get by the first round. What are judges looking for from the first-round contestants that will move them on to the “Road to 68”? The criteria judging panels are looking at are: A) Strengthening American competitiveness B) Small Business “punching above its weight.” C) Economic impact and quality jobs D) Business fundamentals and execution readiness Why these four things in particular? The prize pool is $1 Million. How is that broken down between the final five winners?

In Indien werden noch immer 80 bis 90 Prozent aller Ehen arrangiert – selbst unter jungen, urbanen und bestens ausgebildeten Menschen. Warum setzen erfolgreiche Akademikerinnen, Startup-Gründer und Manager trotz Tinder und Dating-Apps lieber auf traditionelle Heiratsvermittler? Der Südasien-Korrespondent Ulrich von Schwerin besucht in Delhi die exklusive Partneragentur von Sachin Chawla. Dort werden Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten umfassend geprüft: Einkommen, Familienhintergrund, Lebensstil, Religion, Astrologie und sogar mögliche Geheimnisse spielen eine zentrale Rolle. Die Episode zeigt, warum arrangierte Ehen in Indien bis heute gesellschaftlich relevant bleiben – und welche Rolle Familie, Kaste, soziale Herkunft und moderne Erwartungen dabei spielen.

Mulch is one of the highest-return investments you can make in your vegetable garden and yet most gardeners are using whatever happens to be available rather than whatever would actually work best for their situation. In this episode, we dig into the full lineup of organic mulches—straw, shredded leaves, wood chips, pine needles, grass clippings, and compost—as well as a shorter look at inorganic options like landscape fabric and black plastic. For each type, you'll learn how well it suppresses annual, perennial, and invasive weeds, how it handles moisture retention and heavy rainfall, how to apply it correctly, and what drawbacks to watch for in terms of pests, availability, and cost. The bottom line: any mulch is better than bare soil. But the right mulch for your garden depends on your weed pressure, your climate, your crops, and your situation—and by the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to make that call. Let's dig in! Mulch Quick Reference Best for annual weed suppression: Straw, wood chips, black plastic Best for moisture retention: Wood chips, straw, compost Best for slopes and heavy rain areas: Pine needles, wood chips Best for soil building: Compost, shredded leaves Best free options: Shredded leaves, grass clippings (herbicide-free), arborist chips Best for soil warming: Black plastic Avoid in vegetable gardens long-term: Landscape fabric References: Warnall School of Forestry and Natural Resources - Black Walnut Allelopathy: Tree Chemical Warfare: openscholar.uga.edu/record/22964/files/Walnut Allelopathy 11-10.pdf Horticultural Sciences Department, University of Florida, Gainesville - Evaluation of Allelopathic Potential of Wood Chips for Weed Suppression in Horticultural Production Systems: ashs.org/hort/hort/published/rest/pdf-watermark/v1/journals/hortsci/40/3/article-p711.pdf/watermark-pdf/ University of Minnesota Extension — Mulching in the Home Garden: extension.umn.edu Penn State Extension — Mulches for the Home Landscape: extension.psu.edu NC State Extension Gardener Handbook — Mulching chapter: content.ces.ncsu.edu University of Illinois Extension — Wood Chip Mulch: Landscape Boon or Bane: extension.illinois.edu Cornell Cooperative Extension — Grass Clippings as Mulch: gardening.cornell.edu University of Tennessee Extension — Using Leaves as Mulch and Compost: extension.tennessee.edu Iowa State University Extension — Plastic Mulch in the Vegetable Garden: yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu Michigan State University Extension — Landscape Fabric: Is It Really Worth It: canr.msu.edu ChipDrop (free arborist chips): getchipdrop.com Resources: Just Grow Something: https://justgrowsomething.com Gardening Courses: https://justgrowsomething.com/courses Just Grow Something Merch and Downloads: https://justgrowsomething.com/shop Just Grow Something Gardening Friends Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18YgHveF5P/ Check out how you can become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JustGrowSomething Feed my coffee habit: https://buymeacoffee.com/justgrowsomething Amazon storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/justgrowsomething Get 10% off and FREE shipping on my favorite raised planters at Planter Box Direct using code JUSTGROW10: https://planterboxdirect.com/?ref=593 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Brad Zaun, Acting Regional Great Lakes Administrator, US SBA - Small Business Administration. There were several questions he wanted to find out about from Brad in this conversation. The 2026 Supplier Matchmaking Expo is focused on connecting suppliers directly with major buyers. Why are events like this becoming increasingly important for small and midsize businesses trying to grow? This year's expo includes one-on-one matchmaking meetings with corporate and government buyers. How can businesses best prepare to make the most of those conversations? The event emphasizes strengthening U.S. supply chains and “Made in America” partnerships. What opportunities does that create for Michigan manufacturers and suppliers specifically? Many smaller businesses may assume supplier expos are only for large manufacturers. What types of companies should really consider attending this event, and why?

Modern dating has a noise problem — reality TV selling fairy tales, apps reducing attraction to a swipe, and social media quietly eroding how we see ourselves and what we expect from love. In this episode, Christopher Louis and Natalie Stavola cut through all of it. They get into why most people enter relationships still carrying the wreckage of the last one, how blurry boundaries masquerade as flexibility until everything falls apart, and what emotional intelligence actually looks like in real-time — not in theory. They also break down what shows like Love Is Blind and Age of Attraction get right, get wrong, and what they unintentionally reveal about how desperate most people are for genuine connection. If you've been wondering why the same patterns keep showing up with different people, this episode is the answer you didn't know you were looking for. Key Topics The importance of boundaries in relationships Healing from past relationships and self-growth Strategies for effective communication and vulnerability The importance of patience and self-awareness in relationships Insights into popular dating shows like Love is Blind and Age of Attraction The impact of social media and media on self-esteem and dating The role of emotional intelligence and authenticity in love Strategies for personal growth and healthy relationships Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Dating Intelligence 02:55 Exploring Intentional Dating and Matchmaking 05:34 Navigating Relationship Dynamics 12:55 Conscious Uncoupling and Healing 18:28 Balancing Relationships and Personal Growth 20:53 Harnessing Anger for Growth 23:05 The Dynamics of Relationship Conflicts 25:46 Understanding Boundaries in Relationships 27:07 The Importance of Communication and Journaling 29:00 Navigating New Partnerships 32:15 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Patience 36:03 Reality TV and Relationship Dynamics 42:08 Insecurity and Gaslighting in Relationships 44:01 Dating Shows: Love is Blind vs. Age of Attraction 44:49 Navigating Breakups and Dating as a Coach 46:36 The Dynamics of Age in Dating 48:55 The Importance of Depth in Relationships 52:14 Healing and Growth in Modern Relationships 54:43 Feminism and Chivalry in Dating 58:56 The Rat Race of Toxic Relationships Sponsors:  Web link: https://trk.pdt.im/uK4nXo J4L festival link: https://j4l.com/dating-festival Twitter: https://x.com/ComJ4love  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFig402uwrJuhz-Ub25I60g/videos  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/j4l_com_/  Christopher Louis:  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/christopherlouisdate?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Web: https://dating-intelligence.com/ Men.tality:  https://www.datingmentality.com/ Natalie Stavola:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nataliestavola?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D Web: https://www.nataliestavolacoach.com/

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux unpacks listener questions on matchmaking, vaccine deceptions, true listening, UPB's ironclad morality and virtue-forged love to arm you against societal lies for ethical sovereignty.Questions:"How would you go about making introductions between two individuals that you believe would both massively benefit from knowing one another (whether in a business, romantic, or other scenario)?""Hey Stef, maybe a bit of a personal question but I would appreciate hearing what your thoughts are on vaccines now. Pre-COVID I was convinced about vaccines being good, but now since witnessing the COVID jab and even just how terrible the batch controls were with contaminants, I haven't been able to bring myself to vaccinate my children. I don't trust vaccines made by companies who participated, but even if I could find some available that weren't, I read a book called Vax Unvax by Del Bigtree and Robert Kennedy, and it made a compelling argument for vaccine injuries being much higher than reported. Also, there is so much corruption in the industry. Yet with all of this, I still worry it's not the right choice due to non-herd-immunity related risks, such as tetenus. Thanks if you take the time to touch on this!""Why do you think that it is so difficult for people to listen?"Stefan, you are an excellent listener, backed by countless examples. What are your top 3 to 5 tips on how to become a great listener?""Hi stef. In regard to UPB and the Coma Test; If someone in a coma is unconscious, they also have no choice. As a result they do not have the ability to prefer anything. Should someone in a coma not be excluded from any assessment for UPB? Thanks.""Hi Stef, This is a follow on from my previous question. Do you think that people resist UPB, in part because it leads to the realisation of how unloved most of us are?"If there is a secular explanation for morality, and that love and morality aren't seperate from each other, then we also end up with an understanding of love centered around voluntarism, a respect for property rights (peaceful parenting), and the mutual exchange of value (freetrade)."In many social relationships where people claim to love and be loved, there is no voluntarism (only social obligation), no peaceful parenting (negotiation), but instead manipulation and violence, and no mutual exchange of value (consistent positive behavior that is reciprocated), but instead exploitation. This is particularly true for parent child relationships."Is a rejection of UPB therefore a desire to hold on to the illusion of parental love being real? Even if it is centered around social obligations, emotional and physical coercion and as well as exploitation. E.g. parents expecting children to take care of them even when the parents failed to protect and nurture their own children."Is so much of the resistance to secular ethics (atleast from the masses who wield no true political power), simply a desire to escape grief?""Hi Stef, if love is our involuntary response to virtue, and virtue is caused by free will, how do we discuss free will in the psychological sense without undermining it philosophically through introducing deterministic explanations for human behaviour?"Free will is defined as our ability to compared proposed actions to ideal standards, and if we can do this consistently through moral action guided by UPB, then we can be loved. This is the philosophical explanation. But psychologically, we need to put an emphasis on peaceful parenting, because 'loving' parents make it more likely for a child to develop a conscience, which then allows them to exercise free will, be moral and thus be loved. I use the term 'loving' here in reference to familial love which doesn't appear to be an involuntary response to virtue since children are still developing a capacity for free will."Therefore, psychologically, familial love creates a conscience, which then creates free will, which then creates moral action, which then creates love (both familial and romantic). The psychological chain thus begins with love, and ends with love. But the philosophical chain begins with free will and ends with love, since a bad childhood isn't an excuse for immoral behavior."How do we reconcile these two seeming contradictions, especially since peaceful parenting is emphasized as one of the most important levers for helping people be more open to free trade, property rights and UPB. If we say that peaceful parenting will lead to more virtue, are we undermining free will through introducing psychological determinism?"GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Morgan is joined by professional matchmaker Alessandra Conti for an honest, behind-the-scenes look at modern dating. From screening clients and asking tough compatibility questions to spotting anxious-avoidant dynamics in real time, she explains what actually makes a match last, and what quietly causes relationships to fail. They unpack why so many people feel like their city is the worst place to date, how burnout and “city fatigue” impact our mindset, and why boundaries, attachment styles, and shared values matter more than surface-level traits. They also talk about the scarcity trap, the abundance mindset, and how to date intentionally without losing yourself in the process.
