RT @jpdd: Listen for me on @cbcradio‘s DNTO tomorrow after the 3pm news! http://t.co/aaIeGS5i

Hello!

October 27th, 2011

I Like You is a weekly podcast featuring stories of love, like, and the opposites of those things. A show about dating and relationships may sounds schmaltzy to you, but it’s not. It’s exceedingly unschmaltzy.

We (JP and Elah) try to answer questions like:
Is online dating actually set up to make people miserable?
What’s it like to date your high school teacher?
How do you know it’s over?

Huddled in Elah’s tiny apartment, we prod guests into sharing their most intimate stories over tea and cookies – and oddly – they usually do. The results are funny, sad, strange, uplifting, and occasionally traumatic.

Listen now by subscribing in iTunes – it’s free! 

 

To get started, here are a few of our favourite episodes:

#39: The Secret of My Success

Note: Mature content, usually.
 
JP’s parents are remarkably candid about what it takes to keep a marriage going for decades.

#21: Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Note: Mature content, usually.
 
Sometimes JP and Elah just hang out and entertain each other. It’s not like anything you hear on the radio, probably for good reason, but we reckon you’ll have fun.

#57: Positive

Note: Mature content, usually.
 
Jessica’s boyfriend infected her with HIV. He said he was “clean” – but he probably lied about being tested. Weird thing is, having HIV has actually made Jessica’s life better in a lot of ways.

 

Be on the show!

Do you have a story that would fit with our show? Email us and we’ll consider it!

We’re also recruiting for a matchmaking experiment. Let us know if you’re single, living in the Toronto area, and wouldn’t mind being set up and recorded going on a date (just audio).

On the blog: a poem by @TheWayWeWordshttp://t.co/EwNLsKP

When I met her she was so drunk

August 26th, 2011

Here’s a lovely little poem shared at our meetup last night (originally written for the 1-minute story event). On how Matt met his girlfriend:

When I met her she was so drunk
But earlier I’d smoked a Blunt
We stumbled later to her friend’s place
Where we both got extra shit-faced

Just before the dawn was breaking
We tossed aside all hesitating
Rubbing up our nether parts
Must have also rubbed our hearts

We got off to a running start
It’s rare we spend much time apart
This one night stand has yet to end
And she’s become my closest friend
Is it true love? It’s worth debating
And all because we both hate waiting

-by Matt Loeb

Can you ever be too honest? What happens when you’re not honest enough? This week JP and Elah tell it like it is as they discuss the role honesty has played in past and present relationships. View the original post.
