The Dating Debrief
The Dating Debrief is a dating podcast hosted by former Bachelor star Rachel Recchia. Each season follows one single woman as she goes on 13 first dates, but instead of hearing the dates themselves, listeners get the post-date debrief where she spills everything—the sparks, red flags, awkward moments, and texts that never came. A team of experts helps decode modern dating chaos, from swiping strategies to relationship patterns. It's part social experiment, part girls' night gossip, offering a front-row seat to the highs, lows, and drama of trying to find love today.
