About this episode

The episode explores the complexities of workplace romances and shares listener stories about dating colleagues.

According to some surveys, over 60% of people have had a workplace romance - which has worked out really well for some, but for others it’s gotten super messy. We hear your stories to find out how you’ve hooked up or dated colleagues, and if it’s worth shitting where you eat. DM us your thoughts, questions, topics, or to just vent at @triplejthehookup on IG or email us: thehookup@abc.net.au The Hook Up is an ABC podcast, produced by triple j. It is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to elders past and present. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and Traditional Custodians of the land where we live, work, and learn.
