About this episode

The episode explores the host's experiences with dating and the pressures of screenwriting success.

I didn't go out on a date until 30. The anxiety was terrifyingly real. I did, however, believe that screenwriting success was assured. I imagine being presented with a choice: professional success, tempered by continued loneliness... or professional disappointment, but a booming social life.
