Minisode 46 - The Omeagler

•

It's minisode time and we've found the best/most horrific dating stories from you the listeners and online to make you feel better about your own dating lives.


There is a whiplash warning for today's minisode Dear Reader; a roller coaster of emotions from the stories shared with Liz and Tom. We have an answer to our unconventional how-did-you-meet call out, a woman is forced to get sleuthing on the internet to confirm suspicions and someone needs to learn how to properly pull off a practical joke. You'll laugh, you'll wince and hopefully enjoy the minisode!


If you know of someone who has a relationship or dating story that just HAS to be shared, then dob them in and get them to write us at ghostsofboyfriendspast@gmail.com. We'll also take a rate or review off your hands for you 🙂


Thank you for tuning in!
