A podcast by XO Magazine (xomagazine.org) of Brown University
Everyone has an embarrassing and awkward first date story. Today, you'll hear from three guests, and myself, about theirs. Featuring dates ranging from kleptomaniacs to people obsessed with the gym (but really just their biceps), this episode will bring you back into that early high school dating scene.
All interviewees remain anonymous in order to keep stories as unfiltered as possible.
