Y Date?: Recent Episodes
Janelle Bingham, Lizzy Cannon, Jaxon Frank, and Claire Rogers
A podcast specifically for young adults in Provo, Utah about the dating culture that is prevalent in the LDS culture. We would invite different students that attend colleges in Provo to talk about their failed and successful dating experiences with the dating app Mutual, which was specifically designed for LDS people, with dating in a 'returned missionary' culture, and with the concept of 'consent on a college campus. Its intended purpose is to help young adults not feel so alone with the quirks of dating in a college town where dating and marriage are heavily encouraged by the LDS culture. It will also be a space where students can share their concerns and hard experiences that sometimes get overlooked when trying to romanticize the concept of dating.
Today, we were joined by Heidi Peterson, a senior at BYU and a close friend of Claire Rogers, and Truman Callens, a sophomore at BYU and Claire's cousin. Both talk about their dating experiences here in Provo, the expectation of being married by graduation, and the advice we have for those struggling with meeting new people on campus.
In this episode, we are joined by Lydia, a freshman at BYU, and Ayden, also a freshman at BYU. They share their not-so-positive experiences with Mutual and dating here at BYU. They talk about what they hope to see out of the dating culture here at BYU and how we can be a part of that change as a community.
Dive in with Janelle Bingham, Lizzy Cannon, Jaxon Frank, and Claire Rogers to learn more about their experiences with dating here in Provo. In this episode, we discuss how the culture at BYU has shaped our dating lives, and offer advice to our younger selves about dating.
