Best Before Date: Recent Episodes
AL DEE
Real stories, dates and laughs. On Best Before Date, AL dives into everything dating: apps (tinder, bumble and the rest), BDSM, cheaters, exes, & relationships. This is not a dating advice podcast, although, you might learn a thing or two. This is AL sitting down with new connections and sometimes not-so-new friends trying to focus on discussing dating but often getting sidetracked. Tune in every Tuesday to hear a new guest-date discuss topics like safe dating, hookup culture, nudes and why not, sexting, dirty talk, kinks, and juicy drama!

This week on BBD podcast, part 3 with our guests Ren and Kris. We talk about Instagram exposing who you date (and who your coochie sisters are), open relationships for men and women, and the kink movement. Ren is adding "saving local glory holes" to his mayor platform and Kris contemplates getting tied up. Check out what is probably the dirtiest episode of Best Before Date podcast to date :P
Ren was recently a panelist on Crave's 1 Queen 5 Queers (must see his ep!), and Kris is a good friend of mine. I'm spent after a weird bachelorette and they're hella hungover but still very giggly.

This week on BBD podcast, it's part 2 of my chat with Colleen Thompson who is a Vancouver based, very-hungover stand up comedian, writer and researcher/ex-therapist. Vancouver being a windy city (apparently it's Windcouver now instead of Raincouver...), the wind picked up the my neighbor's roof and smashed it into my newly bought car. Yaaaaaay! So because of that, my move, and Colleen and I chatting for way over 2 hours, there will be a 3rd part! I know :(...

This week on BBD podcast, our guest is Colleen Thompson who is a Vancouver based, very-hungover stand up comedian, writer and researcher/ex-therapist. This episode gets a little deep into existential stuff and basically the closest I got to a therapy session in a while. We discuss living with your internal knots instead of trying to unravel them, needing and chasing some level of chaos, and bringing a stalker on a date to get rid of him. Really! Also this whole episode is basically a euphemism for jacking someone off, I'm sorry?
