Casey: Date 13 (The Johnny Depp Wannabe)

The Dating Debrief is the dating podcast about what happens&nbsp;after&nbsp;the date. Hosted by former&nbsp;Bachelor star Rachel Recchia, each season follows one single woman as she goes on 13 first dates in search of something real. But instead of hearing the dates themselves, you get the part everyone actually cares about: the post-date debrief. After every date, she sits down with Rachel to spill everything—the sparks, the red flags, the awkward moments, and the texts that never came. Along the way, a team of experts helps decode the chaos of modern dating, from swiping strategies to relationship patterns. It’s part social experiment, part girls’ night gossip, and a front-row seat to the highs, lows, and drama of trying to find love today.&nbsp;&nbsp;
