Summary

Today Shandy is joined by fellow podcasters and dating advice givers, Jared Freid and Jordana Abraham from the U Up? Podcast! They chat the most common themes they see in the questions they receive, whether or not dating today is *actually* worse (or if we're just talking about it more), and what it's like to date when you're famous! Watch on for two relationship podcasts' (sometimes very different!) perspectives on apps and modern romance.
