Description
Welcome to Beyond The Hour, a podcast where we will dive headfirst into everything that makes life beautiful, strange, and endlessly fascinating. Hosted by Lauren Ridgeway. Each episode is a journey through the layers of humanity. From deep dives into culture, history, and psychology, to stories of ghosts and aliens, pop culture obsessions and conspiracies you won't believe. At Beyond The Hour we are vulnerable and a little weird, but we will always try and find beauty in the chaos and light in the dark.

Welcome to Episode #3 of Beyond The Hour! In this episode I am going to tackle and discuss major topics and issues in the dating scene. We will cover everything from dating apps, dealing with rejection, the dreaded "talking stage", how to meet people, and all the red flags to look out for. This episode may be mainly about dating advice, but there are still plenty moments of good life advice to be found for my non single people! Be warned this episode is blunt and to the point, its no BS for a reason!Instagram: @beyondthehourpod
