50 First Ghosts Podcast

50 First Ghosts

Yasmin Ghasiri
Dating these days is just plain weird, awful, and terrible. People have become so bad at being vulnerable and courteous that they stoop so low as to "ghost" on someone. This podcast will follow my adventures of dating after a bad breakup, in a new city (Los Angeles), within a small community (lesbians). This is a podcast for everyone who dates- regardless of sexual orientation, gender, sex, religion, race, or creed. Because let's be real: dating sucks for everyone. After my story, I'll be exploring different topics within love, and dating as well as interview people to hear about how terrible dating is for everyone.

FFG 40 | A Dramatic Read of "Marry Him! The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough"
"Marry Him! The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough" by Lorie Gottlieb inspired my previous episode on the previous episode about the balance between settling and being too picky as a millennial. Here's a reading of that article. An Excerpt: "They [the mothers in the mommy and me class], like me, would rather feel alone in a marriage than actually be alone, because they, like me, realize that marriage ultimately isn’t about cosmic connection—it’s about how having a teammate, even if he’s not the love of your life, is better than not having one at all".

FFG 38 | The Millennial Juggling Act: Too Picky Versus Settling
Where do we draw the line between being too picky and having standards? It's hard for people in their 20s to reconcile the vision they had of their lives, and the reality that our economy and job market offer. I myself have been too picky in the past due to a past emotionally abusive relationship, but have also not been picky enough; ergo this podcast.Music by Alma Sever https://m.soundcloud.com/alma-sever

FFG 36 | Valentine's Day Ruins Relationships
The most breakups all year happen around the weeks before and after Valentine's Day. Due to pressures of the day, expectations, and the magnification of current problems, the day that most singles dread, should actually be the day most couples dread. After exploring the psychology of Valentine's Day, I got into why it's actually better to be single in your 20s than in a relationship. Music by Alma Sever https://m.soundcloud.com/alma-sever
