Let's Swipe: Online Dating Stories & Other Adventures

Seasons 1 & 2 : Join three reluctant 40-something online daters as they give it their best shot. In the Midwest. During a pandemic. The cards may be stacked against them, but they are determined to enjoy themselves! Season 3: The Pandemic is officially "over," but our search for love (for some of us) is not. In this season we will still talk about dating, but that will not be our only focus. If you've enjoyed our misadventures, we hope you will stick with us!
