Sophie White met her husband way too young – or so she says, meaning she missed out on the "fun" (? questionable) of Tinder, Bumble and Hinge. But she likes him a lot, so it's probably okay. (But she'd still like a little hall pass and thinks all bisexuals should get one.)Follow Sophie on Instagram @sophwhitewhoop or check out her full bibliography on her website, here.

New York Times bestselling author Ashley C. Ford knows a lot about love, thanks to her husband, who taught her that love isn't a competition; her upbringing, which showed her the ways she didn't want to be loved; and the work she's been able to do on herself, which allowed her to believe she's worthy of that love to begin with. Somebody's Daughter, Ashley's memoir, is available now wherever books are sold. From indie booksellers, Split Rock Books in the US has it; as does Gutter Bookshop in Ireland. You can check out Ashley's website here, and follow her on Instagram and Twitter, too. My book, This is Not About You, is out now! Get it in ebook format in the US, or in hard copy in Ireland.

Hello and welcome to Meet/Cute, a podcast about getting together, breaking up, and everything in between. I’m your host, Rosemary Mac Cabe, and I’m here to ask the big questions. What brings two people together? And what tears them apart? In other words: tell. Me. Everything.This is a podcast for romantics; a podcast for lovers; a podcast for anthropologists but, above all else, a podcast for nosy f*ckers. Join me every Thursday as I talk to someone about the ins and outs – if you’ll excuse the pun – of their romantic histories. Subscribe to Meet/Cute wherever you get podcasts.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thank you for listening to Episode 1 of Not Without My Sister, which we have tentatively titled, 'Not Without Our... Mother?' This episode is dedicated to, and focuses on, our Mother, who, for all of her Irish Mammyisms, has her own individual quirks and foibles which make her – we think – just interesting enough to dedicate an hour-long podcast episode to. We hope you enjoy it :)If you have any topic suggestions, or subjects you'd like us to chat about, please do let us know! Leave a comment on our website or contact us via Instagram @rosemarymaccabe and @beatricemaccabe.Here are a few of the things we reference throughout the episode.

How to Be Sound is in The Warren family, so of course I'm biased - but I think it's a collective of really innovative and interesting podcasts that are all well worth checking out.
