Look around, dear listener.
Everything is heart-shaped and pink. People are getting ready for a special night with their special someone.
In our second episode this season, we take you through the dark alleyways of online dating, where $1.3 billion vanished into the pockets of scammers in just one year, and peel back the layers of marketing sleights of hand that extend far beyond the realm of matchmaking.
From mimosas without champagne to candy heart boxes with more filler than chocolate, we dissect the conflict between what's advertised and what lands in consumers' hands — a legal battlefield constantly redefining the line between enticing and misleading.
Special guests:
- “Al,” pro se plaintiff who sued Bumble
- Kevin Lewis, sociology professor at UC San Diego
- Attorney Spencer Sheehan
- Attorney Robert Freund
- Jennifer Pomeranz, public health attorney and NYU professor
- Bonnie Patten, executive director of Truth in Advertising
