The Dating Orange Podcast

• A starfish, a paypig and the Mulhollands

  THIS WEEK I’m joined by my pal Bria - a TikTok creator you may know as briakingbad or COLETTE - and her mam Dera, a retired psychotherapist. The two of them together are comedy gold. We give our opinions on some listener dating stories, Bria shares her rotten tale of a man sending her a pic of his 'puckered shitter', and I tell the story of how I somehow ended up with a little paypig of my own. Stay tuned ‘til the end… and keep an eye out next week for a full dedicated PAYPIG episode.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

• From Brazil & Venezuela, to Irish dating apps

  I always thought it was poor form how Irish lads spoke to South Americans, so say hello to Ana from Brazil and Lucia from Venezuela to chat about what it’s really like dating in Ireland as a South American woman.Lucia’s been here five years and has been on over 50 dates — all with Irish or European men. Ana’s been here three and shares her experience of a 1.5-year relationship with an Irish man who struggled with addiction.We look at culture differences, red flags, and what it’s like being treated like a sexy fantasy, or...... like you’re just after a visa.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

• Don’t Send the Nude & Other Life Lessons with Daragh Fleming

  Join myself and Irish writer, poet, and mental health advocate Daragh Fleming - who tells us about the time he got SEXTORTED (technical term, intimate image abuse or image-based sexual abuse) by a Nigerian gang of all people!Instead of spiralling and curling up under the duvet (which, fair), Daragh decided to go public with the story - not for clout, but to help others avoid the same trap and the brutal mental health spiral that can come with it. Once a mental health advocate, always a mental health advocate. It’s raw, honest, and somehow still funny.We also chat about the time he went on a date in Barcelona with a Venezuelan doctor who robbed his favourite shirt. There’s blackmail, Twitter virality, trolls and a rogue medical professional who has no respect for an Irishman's H&M shirt. Enjoy lads and lassies! Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.

  I am back after a brief 6 week hiatus following the Filthy John SAGA!An seachtain seo, I have Seattle native Shawna Scott who is the founder of Sex Siopa, Ireland’s most beloved multi-award-winning sex toy boutique.

Back in the good ole days when Irish twitter was hopping. Stay tuned! Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.
