Meet/Cute
by Rosemary Mac Cabe
Say hi to Meet/Cute, a podcast about getting together, breaking up, and everything that comes in between. I’m your host, Rosemary Mac Cabe, journalist and author of the book, This is Not About You, a memoir told through a chronology of romantic relationships. As I was putting the book together, I started to think about how fascinating romance is. What brings two people together? And what tears them apart? In this podcast, I’ll be talking to as wide an array of people as I can about the relationships that have colored the landscape of their lives. What age were they when they met their first love? Do they have a type? What red flags have they started to recognize along the way? In other words: tell. Me. Everything.

Join me every Thursday for a new chat about the in
