(Illustration by Nick Lingerfelt)
The AM/DM is The Daily Memphian’s weekday podcast. Listen in every morning around 6:30 a.m. to get the news you need for the day, as well as a critical — but quick — interview on a larger story.
If you’re not “on the apps,” you’re not really trying.
That’s the message single people get these days as they try to navigate the dating world. The apps in question, of course, are Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Grindr, Her, OkCupid, eHarmony, Match.com and others.
The Daily Memphian’s Nick Lingerfelt recently talked to single Memphians as cuffing season begins to get a sense of how locals think about the apps and the dating pool in the Bluff City.
He joins the show today to talk about that, real life relationships and five first date ideas.
