Well, it's been a fantastic year and a helluva run for the Hugs and Misses Podcast. Thanks to everyone for listening, sharing, and being part of the adventure. We wish you luck in your current and future romantic endeavors, and hope for more Hugs than Misses.

Welcome back to Alex and everyone after the Holiday break! This week we hear from a gent who got a little more than he bargained for when his Tinder date asked him to make some popcorn and listen to her tale.

Ok, so I (Ian) am alone this week because Alex is still in quarantine and my wife is sleeping. I hope I am relatively entertaining without either of my soulmates. This week we hear a miss from a friend of mine who gave it the ol' college try. Or in this case, the try, try, try again only to end up hurt.

In this episode, Ian and his beautiful wife Cassidy ask each other dumb questions they found on the internet. Cassidy says she wants to be on the podcast more which might have to happen if Alex dies. Here is wishing him a speedy recovery.

Many of us have experienced it. We have a "friend" who we have romantic feelings for or they have romantic feelings for us, but those feelings are not reciprocated. In this episode, we hear from a girl whose "friend" makes too many assumptions about their relationship.

In this episode, we hear from a gal whose gay friend (we all have one) takes her out on a date for pity's sake. Unfortunately what starts out as tender mercy ends with a night filled with dread.

In this special episode and in celebration of Alex's birthday, we engage in our favorite pastime; arguing about fandoms and shipping people who don't actually exist.

Do you ever think about the one that got away? What could have been? Or maybe you cringe at the very thought of the people you used to date. Well in this episode of Hugs & Misses Ian and Alex shoot the sh!t and get their legal questions answered.

Apart from the otherwise terrifying scenarios most of our contributors find themselves in, the stories today lean more into the spooky and macabre. We hope you enjoy this special Halloween episode!

In this episode, we hear from some poor chap whose girlfriend left him after going to a palm reader.

In this episode, Ian entrances us with his recipe for the perfect pot roast. Also, there is some dating stuff in there and movie quotes as always. Oh and there is some offensive stuff as well. Enjoy.

This week, we discuss if age actually matters in a relationship. Unfortunately for Keith, it VERY MUCH did for our storyteller.

In this episode, we hear from a poor girl who goes through the excruciating process of setting up a blind date with a dude whose sole key indicator of personal worth is "text-reply-speed."

In this episode, we hear from a little lady whose boyfriend can't seem to strike up an intellectual conversation but can strike a cow just fine.

In this week's episode, we hear from a poor lad whose date took her celebrity crush a bit too seriously.

We ran into some issues this week (which are explained in the first 30 seconds of the podcast) So here is a bonus episode for you all where we answer a lightning round of random dating questions. Because we love you. SURPRISE!

In this week's episode, we hear from a girly whose suitor had MANY future plans for them both without checking with her first.

In this episode, we hear from a lass who had a "destiny" encounter on a plane from a Keith who later writes a song about her. ALSO our first Keiths/Karens Corner.

Things get a little heavy in this episode as we hear about heartbreak and hatred but find gleaming hope even in despair.

Our special 30th episode where we answer listener questions! All the hugs, folks. We love you.
