This week on Don’t Listen to Us, Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody tackle questions about modern dating, vulnerability, and the challenges of finding love today. A listener asks whether straight men should always make the first move. Hear Mandy’s surprising answer. A live caller shares what it’s like to date as a Gen Z single. Is Gen Z afraid of vulnerability? How does anyone meet in real life anymore? And, what was dating like before the internet? Kathryn and Mandy weigh in with dating advice you may want to hear. Then, a completely different question: what makes someone a good neighbour? Are pot brownies an appropriate neighbourly gesture? Expect strong opinions and a mix of solid and questionable advice. Plus, a Walt Whitman poem, a Wendell Berry reference and, who are we kidding, A LOT of singing.
