What Next: TBD | Tech, power, and the future

Shownotes Transcript

For a while, it seemed like the only place to meet potential partners was through an app—Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, etc. But as the apps are trying to monetize their matchmaking—and some users now with a whole decade of striking out under their belts—old-fashioned meet-cutes-in-bars or, say, debutante balls look more and more appealing.

Guests: 

Katherine Lindsay), culture writer and cofounder of Embedded

Rachael Stein, dating-app spelunker
