This was my favorite podcast for a short while. So sorry there are so few episodes! It was great to listen to when I was single and it not be yet another doom and gloom prognosis without being overly and unrealistically optimistic either.

duh...that's all i have to say.

The host, Sophie Nikitas, is excellent!

I first heard about the Zoo while listening to NPR's the Big Listen and immediately loved it. I marathoned all 8 episodes that were out at the time. As a millenial currently trapped in the online dating world, it's really refreshing to know you're not alone when it comes to all the weird, often hilarious, and sometimes nerve-wracking intricacies that come with swiping right/left.

My wife and I met several years ago on OKCupid, so it's been fun to listen to this podcast just to hear what's changed about online dating in even just the last few years with Tinder, etc. But at the same time I'm learning about all these interesting aspects of online dating culture today, I also feel like the podcast does a good job of just sharing stories about relationships that feel universal. If you know anyone who's afraid that the internet will ruin human intimacy, have them listen to this podcast. They'll definitely get something out of it.

The Zoo explores the human complexities involved in online dating. I loved the first episode and can't wait for more!
