- "I don't need a man - I am the man" with Katelyn Divilly (00:35:52)
This week it's Katelyn Divilly from The Traitors Ireland.. she was the second traitor booted (apols for any potential spoiler there but get with the times). We have a good chat about the madness inside the castle, the whole “we can control her” weirdness, and then of course her own dating life. Katelyn’s happily single, hates dating apps, and knows all about the pressure people put on you to settle down and start popping out kids. She also tells me about the holiday romance that went to shit. Her take on dating is one we could all do with adopting.

- Blocked by my PayPig (00:38:15)
We're gonna chat about strange world of paypigging and FinDom. Firstly - big thanks to my pal Fergal Darcy for lending his voice to the paypig’s messages - I think you have a calling there hun!I start by sharing the story of my own on/off seven-month communication with a paypig which was aided by both my fella and the girls. The PayPiggy himself was meant to be a guest on this pod before suddenly cutting it off and blocking me. Then I’m joined by Niamh, who took to being a financial dominator like a duck to water. Between my weird little saga and her first-hand experience, we'll be covering a few bases here. Would you take some free money in exchange for calling someone a Pig?

Ana’s been here three and shares her experience of a 1.5-year relationship with an Irish man who struggled with addiction.We look at culture differences, red flags, and what it’s like being treated like a sexy fantasy, or...... like you’re just after a visa.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dating-orange-podcast--5898530/support.
- Don’t Send the Nude & Other Life Lessons with Daragh Fleming (00:40:40)
Join myself and Irish writer, poet, and mental health advocate Daragh Fleming - who tells us about the time he got SEXTORTED (technical term, intimate image abuse or image-based sexual abuse) by a Nigerian gang of all people!Instead of spiralling and curling up under the duvet (which, fair), Daragh decided to go public with the story - not for clout, but to help others avoid the same trap and the brutal mental health spiral that can come with it. Once a mental health advocate, always a mental health advocate. It’s raw, honest, and somehow still funny.We also chat about the time he went on a date in Barcelona with a Venezuelan doctor who robbed his favourite shirt. There’s blackmail, Twitter virality, trolls and a rogue medical professional who has no respect for an Irishman's H&M shirt. Enjoy lads and lassies!
