Swipe, Tap, Ghost: Modern Love for the Emotionally Bankrupt

Swipe right, get ghosted, repeat. In this episode, we dissect the sexy but soulless lovechild of tech and loneliness. From dating apps designed by dopamine dealers to AI girlfriends who don’t nag—who even needs human messiness when you can outsource emotions to the cloud? Strap in. It's love, but optimized, monetized, and probably spying on you.Note: This project explores the new creative potential unlocked by generative AI, showcasing how a single person, in just two hours, can curate (not create, but curate) a polished podcast series. I recognize the critiques around AI-generated content and the potential for digital clutter but invite you to take a listen on your next walk or drive and see what you think.
