We have a cracker of an episode for you today. We are joined by Dr. Lisa Portolan, an Australian author, cultural commentator, and expert on modern relationships, specialising in love, sex, intimacy, gender, and dating culture.

She is widely recognised for her insights into how technology and social change are reshaping the way we date, form relationships, and experience connection. Her work explores topics such as dating apps, emotional labour, heterofatalism, gender dynamics, and the future of intimacy in a digital world.

Lisa holds a PhD in Cultural Studies from Western Sydney University, where her research focused on how dating apps have transformed intimacy and desire.
