Podcasters Elizabeth Day and Mel Schilling Share New Insights on Dating

Elizabeth Day and Mel Schilling, both with personal experiences in online dating, aim to provide guidance and support through their engaging discussions.

In an era where the digital landscape has transformed connections, British writer Elizabeth Day and dating coach Mel Schilling are ready to offer insights into navigating modern relationships through their new podcast "How to Date." As Valentine’s Day approaches, the timing resonates deeply for many individuals.

At 46, Day reflects on her dating journey—an experience that became more complex when she found herself divorced and single, having not dated since the rise of dating apps. "It was such a jungle out there," Day admitted during a video interview, capturing the uncertainty faced by many singles today. Eventually, she found love through Hinge, highlighting a pathway to lasting connections in the digital age.

The podcast stems from her previous success with “How to Fail,” which is now entering its 20th season. Teaming up with Schilling, an expert in the reality TV show “Married at First Sight,” Day aims to help listeners navigate the often overwhelming world of dating. Both women shared that they found their partners online at the age of 39, adding authenticity to their mission of sharing wisdom gained through firsthand experiences.

"I want to teach the world how to date," Day declared, emphasizing the need for guidance in a rapidly evolving dating atmosphere. The aim is to create a supportive space for those seeking advice on dating, relationships, and everything in between—a goal both hosts are enthusiastic about fulfilling.

As they embark on this new journey, the podcast promises a blend of practical tips and personal stories, aiming to ease the dating experience for many trying to find meaningful connections.
