The Dating Orange Podcast

Meet Filthy John - a charming, funny, Wexford man.
Women who meet him are quickly drawn in, convinced they’ve finally found the one. He knows exactly what to say, how to say it, and when to say it. But behind the charm is something much darker…
A prolific liar. A manipulator. A thief. An addict. A mentally abusive serial cheater.
This multi-part podcast series exposes the real man behind the mask - and the trail of devastation he leaves behind.
He targets single mothers, preying on vulnerability while spinning lies that destroy lives.

Today I’m joined by the gas Megan Burke – a singer-songwriter from Swords who’s had more than her fair share of shit-shows. We’re covering her cheating ex, the horrors she’s encountered on dating apps (including getting blocked on Tinder - but it's mostly just the messages from men), and what it’s like dating as a "BIG SEXY RIDE". You can look forward to stories about immature men, creepy fetish requests, and some grim date experiences. Megan’s a laugh a minute so stick the kettle on and enjoyyyy.

Today I’m joined by Adam Lane Smith, also known as Attachment Adam, a global expert in attachment theory, author, speaker, and former marriage and family therapist. 

Adam breaks down attachment theory in a way that's easy to understand so if you were ever wondering why a fella acts so all-over-the-place and you simply can't understand him - you might find some answers today. We also chat about some other hot topics, including why women settle for situationships, how women are wired for stability, and the concept of emotional impermanence. If you enjoy a bit of science and und...

The two TikTok gals, Kasey Campion and Lauren Murtagh, fill me in on just how hard it is trying to find a decent fella these days. Both only in their early 20s, but they have been THROUGH it - cheaters, weirdos and everything in between. 
PLUS, I’m catching up with a blind date I set up between two of my own pals (from totally different parts of my life) who have both been unlucky in love. Did I finally make a match? Probably not. Tune in to find out 👀💘

Dating coach Erika Ettin, also known as 'A Little Nudge' online, joins me for the first of two episodes on all things dating; best practices, how to craft the perfect bio, staying resilient, and changing your mindset for the better whilst putting yourself out there. You might be deep in the apps or wondering why you're still single, so hopefully Erika’s advice is the nudge you need! And at the end I’m catching up with Stephen and Aisling, a couple I set up on a blind date who… let’s just say, didn’t have the smoothest experience. God love t

Longer than usual episodes BUT this one has 4 wild back-to-back tales from the lesbian dating scene, as told by my friend Lea. Lea is quite the spiritual lady and at the end of this episode she goes through the most and least compatible star signs, talks about the power of manifesting and give me a mini tarot reading.

The 2 girls from Daters Gonna Date Podcast, Roisin and Nicola, come on to discuss the singles night myself and Roisin went to the other week including the awk moments with 3 men I met there, that I’d previously chatted to online. The girls also give us some dating horror stories, mainly how they repeatedly attract men with girlfriends and wives.

Stand-up comedian James Gardner talks old school dating sites, misogyny in dating, and how his girlfriend opened his eyes to what it’s like being a woman. And just basically how "guys are fkn mental".

I am back on my tod today reading out some long stories that were sent in by followers, that I can't fit into the 3 min time restriction on TikTok.

A longer one than usual. This episode is about my friend Mark, a nice aul fella, who has an unfortunate dating history with some crazy stories and crazy women. He tells us about two nightmare dates he's experienced; one of which was definitely on coke, the other we only suspect. Staying on theme, I read out a followers story of her crazy coke experience on a date.

In this episode I interview my friend, lovingly coined the BDSM Magnet as he attracts women that enjoy a good batin' in the bedroom. I also divulge my own singular experience with BDSM so IF YOU'RE RELATED TO ME, I ENCOURAGE YOU NOT TO LISTEN. Ta x
