We’re Never Doing This Again is my podcast about sex, dating, and all of those weird & wonderful messy experiences that we have no desire to repeat. Hosted by me, a real-life sex columnist. Listen to episodes here, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcasts.
Hello friends,
After a very long hiatus, the podcast is back in full force! Although I initially felt guilty for taking six months off from recording & releasing new episodes, I think the break was good for me. I’m having fun creating again, which feels amazing!
I’m starting the season with an extra special guest, Lara Bricker — a licensed private investigator, author of the Piper Greene mystery series, and one of the hosts of Crime Writers On — my all-time favorite podcast.
Some background: I’ve been listening to Crime Writers On (CWO) for nine (!!) years. So, having Lara on my show is a literal dream come true.
It was a super fun conversation! We covered our recent experiences with ghosting and Lara's bizarre adventures on dating apps. Namely, why does Lara keep getting matched with working Mall Santas?
We touched on themes of self-preservation, techniques for eliminating undesirable matches, like the game-changing Burned Haystack Dating method (look it up!), and how Lara's professional life as a private investigator informs how she approaches modern dating dilemmas (spoiler alert: she’s skilled at busting married guys on the apps!)
Lastly, as promised some visuals!
My new dream is to investigate mysteries with Lara… starting with the new “spa” that just opened in my hometown.
(Is it just me or does that sign look like it was written in blood? Another mystery!)
The show wraps up with a rousing game of FMK, where Lara and I share notes on our favorite and least favorite TV Detectives.
Okay, that’s all folks!

Love, Peace & Tacos,
