{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Girls Can Tell Podcast","slug":"girlscantell","podcastDescription":"

Because online dating had it coming. Girls Can Tell is a weekly podcast hosted by Trent Erikson, a Chicago-based radio broadcaster with thirty years in the business and over a year back in the dating scene after a decade away. The show started as a sharp observational commentary on modern dating, covering the apps, patterns, and behaviors nobody talks about directly, and became something more honest along the way. No relationship coaching nonsense, and no softening of things that shouldn't be softened. Just someone paying close attention to what's really happening out there and saying the things you only think every week. You can't just listen to one.

Episode 50. One year. I didn't think this show would go this far. Today, I'm just sharing what solo podcasting has been like, what I got wrong, what kept me going, and where the Girls Can Tell Podcast stands after a year. I want to thank you personally for listening every week. We almost didn't make it some weeks, but we kept on truckin' thanks to your support.
