I loved your podcast about AI and it’s influence on dating and dating apps for seniors. I loved your mysterious MA participant, and thought she was very articulate and well spoken. I take it she represents the allure of this budding sub industry. Just kidding.

Dear Laura, As a widow, I truly enjoyed your show. Your show has a shed a hopeful light for our seniors who are on the path looking for true love again. I am very grateful. Thank you!

Long time listener. The Love Across the Divide episodes put a spotlight on why I always had a sense of dread before listening to each episode - the unbearable wokeness. And no, that is not a complimentary term. I’m not offended, it’s just boring. No longer worth it.

This “new” season is 1-2 new episodes and encores of old content. Don’t start a podcast if you can’t actually commit to creating content. It’s also mostly ads. Ugh!

I’ve been listening for a while to your podcast, and I look forward to listening to other peoples stories, and how they were able to find someone in their later years. I will turn 70 years old this month, and there’s lots of love, and life still to come! The kind of shows that I really enjoy, are are the ones where you have guests that give advice on how to get back out there, and especially, how to put yourself out there on a dating app.! It is such unknown territory for us, older folks! I usually give up quite easily, and then stay off of the apps for long periods of time before trying again. Today’s show was especially good for me, and I would love more just like this one! Thank you for this podcast, and for being so down to earth that we can all identify! I look forward to more shows like this! Thank you! Kerri. 🥰

I just listened to a 14 minute episode, and over 3 minutes of it were ads. It’s begun to seem like this podcast is for the money rather than the content you are offering. The short little time frame is not uncommon, and seems out of balance with the amount of content you offer.

The April 25, 2024, episode entitled "One Love, Two Homes" is an outstanding exploration of the trend of older singles sharing a committed relationship while each maintaining separate residences. This episode explores both the pros and the cons of an LAT (living apart together) relationship. Highly recommended!

Loved the latitude podcast. Opens your eyes about different ways to have a relationship in your later years. Great stuff. Keep up the great material

Laura’s reporting is fantastic. I love her leveled approach, how she asks hard questions and how she shares her own perspective. Can’t say enough about how great the show is, it’s the best one I listen to.

Really enjoy the insight, and listener stories!!

I find Dating While Gray to always be enlightening, informative and engaging. I wouldn’t miss an episode. So excited about the new season!

Recently discovered this podcast & it has quickly become my favorite! Listening to Laura, her guests & listeners help me to realize I’m in great company! Never did I think I’d find myself in the dating scene at 64 but here I am…Thank you Laura for covering a much needed subject matter so perfectly! Keep it going!

As a 60-something woman who has been divorced 20 years and is actively dating, Laura’s podcast is honest, touching and often very funny. Laura is a gem.

Overall, this is a great podcast and I think any adult of any age would enjoy it. I started listening to this podcast in my 20s so it’s been a pleasure the entire time with the exception of one or two highly judgmental comments from Laura.

The Torah IS the Hebrew Bible. She would not need to “schlep” the Torah Scroll, but the Book, itself. That remark of hers was totally incorrect. NEW: 12/1/23 - Laura - awhile back you changed the opening music and now the opening notes are so jarring. I don’t know why you did it but can you go back? Or at least tell us the reason? Thank you!

I have enjoyed the entire run of this show to date and give Laura Stassi kudos for sticking with it and keeping the show going, even when she lost her network. Some episodes I like, and some I love, but through it all there’s a genuine caring about the lives of older people dating and an effort to represent and share different points of view. Though I know The Waves recaps of “The Golden Bachelor” are a separate show, I think they are complementary to DWG’s offerings. Keep the content coming, Laura!

I started listening about a year ago and felt it was very helpful. But lately, with all these episodes about Golden Bachelor, I could not be less interested. Please go back to addressing our real concerns.

I’ve been a big fan for 3 years now and proudly being in the DWT nation 😁

I love this show. I think expanding perspectives is an important endeavor and this show does that. I’m also not watching the Golden Bachelor but really enjoy the recaps. Keep it up!

I hoped to hear more conversations like last seasons, but instead the Laura has digressed to finding negative things to say about The Golden Bachelor and the women on the show as content here. Can we stop deciding what men need and stop saying who needs counseling when a show finally highlights older people? Laura has certainly had guests that could use counseling, and there is a tremendous amount of grace given from her. Now, we have a genuinely kind man who makes choices Laura doesn’t agree with, for HIS life, and HE needs counseling? Ick, Laura.

Excellent kick off show.. Just a great mix of contributors and professionals.

So glad to hear someone talking about the dating experiences of middle-aged and senior people. I love the host’s warmth and empathy, along with her ability to connect with a wide range of people. Speaking of warmth (or lack thereof) I’ll bet recent guest Victoria is fun at parties. Her sanctimonious and snobbish attitude soured what could have been a fun episode. Other than that, great guests, too.

I’m looking forward to the new season. Laura is a warm and skilled interviewer—she’s curious (asks smart/perceptive questions), honest, compassionate, and funny. I’ve really enjoyed the range of topics and voices, and I’d be interested to hear more LGBTQ voices and/or people exploring new possibilities. How about a show on women who may have been partnered with women most of their lives but now want to be involved with a man (or are now with a man)? Or women who didn’t identify as lesbian—were partnered with men—but are now with a woman or open to being with one? Such fluidity/openness in women late in life is not so uncommon, and I think this would make for some interesting conversations.

We miss you!

This podcast is a ray of hope in the dating world. Older dating is a completely different world and Laura normalizes the weirdness and frustration of dating while gray. It’s been a lifeline for this 60 year old!

I love love love this podcast! I’ve listened since the very first episode and often listen to episodes more than once! Thank you Laura!

Please find a new home for this show! It really fills a void for my generation.

Dating while grey has answered so many questions! It is not easy to date, and it is not easy to be grey. This podcast makes it easy. It is also nice when Laura interviews people from the opposite sex: you gain a great new perspective and new ideas for a better dating attitude. Once I know the podcast is on, I can’t wait for the latest episode and I always re-listen to old ones during my morning walks. Laura treats everyone with the greatest respect, even if she does not share their approach of dating, and that is refreshing.

I’m 67, single, with a full life of friends and activities. And I’m very interested in being in a romantic relationship! This is a great resource for singles.

Wonderful show!!!

There’s no other resource out there for this huge population of older single people. Laura’s interviews and conversations help give me language, perspective and courage to talk with my own circles what is generally a sensitive conversation. DWG is great use of the podcast platform and a valued one in my life.

I can’t wait every week for a new episode. Thanks

I have been hooked on this podcast since I found it 2 weeks ago. Somehow, I managed to listen to all 3 seasons already. The host, Laura Stassi, is a sensitive and thoughtful interviewer. I appreciate her genuine reactions to guests’ comments. Every episode offers insight and encouragement from experts, dating coaches and average people like me. Thanks to this podcast, I think my prospect for finding a fulfilling relationship is not as bleak as I had imagined after the end of my second, long-term marriage. Thanks, Laura and the DWG production team.

My twenty-something year old told me about this podcast and I’ve never looked back. Although, I hope we can get more men interviewed, this show is awesome and Laura does a great job.

So many golden nuggests to be found epecially in your episode called Baggage Claim. I know that I struggled with the fear of rejection when sharing my experiences and feeling that my "baggage" defined me. I have found that with vulnerability comes deep intimacy and my current partner sees my baggage as the very things that have made me who I am. I would agree that as we love and fully accept ourselves, others love and accept who we are, even are darker parts. Thank you for brining this to the light.

I have been listening for awhile now and the topics always seem to resonate with me. Laura has a way of drawing me in and keeping my attention. Thank you to WUNC for promoting this great podcast.

I am so glad that there is podcast for us in our 50’s and 60’s, etc... aside from all the successful stories, there is also a darker side like scamming people in dating applications especially geared towards our ages. I do wish the host addresses that issue for seniors. It can be dangerous and heart wrenching for seniors who went through it.

Where did this podcast go? Just abruptly ended.

Laura and everyone who creates this podcast, I love this podcast and am thrilled to see it back!

I’m not quite 50 yet, but the advice, stories and wisdom in this podcast is truly sound. It’s by far one of my favorite podcasts and I listen to many. The honesty, humor and advice applies to anyone seeking a true relationship or who just wants to learn about human nature. I look forward to each new podcast every week. Well done!

I absolutely love this podcast, and have listened to it since its inception. It’s relevant, timely, and beautifully done… so sensitive, and so real. As a 70+ woman who’s lived through so many of these experiences, I have to say that it rings true, and that it’s truly therapeutic for all of us who listen. THANK YOU, Laura!

The people who say they love the podcast and give 4 stars are weird people. Just stop. Give everyone 5 stars, my god. Get over yourself and support people. Throw 5 star ratings all over the place. Support mental health. Support women. Support creatives. Support entrepreneurs. Be human. Be kind. Give 5 stars, you weirdos!

First, on the surface I have nothing in common with Hope. I am 61 yr old, white, childless woman. I find myself pondering her question what is reality and relating to her. Another thought is about meeting children too soon for the children. Seeing parents with multiple people is not a good thing for kids. I have found I am the one who has told Dads that it is too soon for their kids to meet me. I stopped seeing one man because he would not honor this statement. He brought his young son to my workplace uninvited and proceed to try for pdf in front of that child and at my office. Seriously??? He had to drive over an hour to get there and then said he was in the area. I enjoyed Laura’s children’s comments. I laughed out loud when her son said no I don’t want to go on vacation with your friend with benefits. Happy dating folks. Love the podcast. Laura has a great voice.

I really really enjoy listening to this! I’m 53 and soon to be divorced. I never thought I would need to be dating again and have found Laura‘s content and probing questions to be extremely relevant and helpful. I like that she doesn’t shy away from difficult questions and that she is real about her own feelings/hesitations when it comes to getting back into dating. Thanks so much for this great resource!

Thank you Laura for creating this interesting, honest and heartfelt podcast. It really resonates with me, a 64 year old divorced woman. Always look forward to your insights! 😁

Hi Laura, I like your podcast . You have a lovely way with people . I had an idea- would you have a zoom call w your audience? We could meet each other- maybe some connections would happen- and if not, maybe we would make new friends. What do you think ? Thanks, Maryann

Love this podcast and curious what topics Laura will address. She’s thoughtful and curious. Hope she talks about how dating over 50 can be amazing (oh, she’s covered that!), that polyamory is an option, and ways to meet people in real life. Go Laura!

I enjoyed this podcast. I hope all is well with Laura. Hope you are coming back for another season.

Scary, Funny and enjoyable... loved it! Please gives us more. When you come back please look into those married couples that live separate lives. I’d like to hear from a woman in one those types of marriages and from a man as well.

Loved all the episodes! But.... where ARE YOU!! We are all waiting anxiously for new episodes!
