Time to have your insanity read back to you Readers. It's minisode time and we've found the best/most horrific dating stories from you the listeners, and online to make you feel better about your own dating lives.

Off the top we have a collection of stories themed around taking your shot. We always commend whenever people bundle up the courage to express how they feel for someone. We also hear a bit of a mean tale where dating meets a betting pool, a dog ruins a date and we finish with a bit of a dating run-a-round.

If you have an annecdote or advice for the show, please send it through to ghostsofboyfriendspast@gmail.com and take the time to rate and review the show should you have a spare minute.

This week we get into the swing of things… Sex. We’re talking about sex.

Our guest this week isn’t in the studio to protect the innocent (or not so innocent!). One of dear readers wrote in with a collection of tales (and fails) on what it’s like stepping into the swinging community. Liz reads out these stories in typical dramatic fashion, with Tom and (bonus!) producer Zane on mic to react and ask all the questions.

When life gives you a first date do-over, for the love of god TAKE IT.

Your Man Alex Smith joins us again with a couple of first date fails to make you laugh and cringe (and one that’s actually pretty lovely).

Alex has a show coming up in Fringe Brisbane and you should totally go! October 16 and 21. Tickets can be purchased here:

SLOW BURN: Blurring the line between rock concert, cabaret and musical theatre, Your Man Alex Smith’s genre-hopping concept album ‘Slow Burn’ has been brought to the stage at last. From 80’s power ballads to jazz duets, Smith’s hook-driven songs tell the true story of a doomed romance while exploring themes of trauma and the cycle of abuse.

“‘Slow Burn’ is not just something to listen to and enjoy, it is an album to experience” – Emily Hollitt and Malina Claire, Good Call Live

“A dynamic creator with an aptitude for traversing genres and layering meaning in poetic-like prose” – Mimm, Music Is My Muse

Want to get a peak of what you’re in for? Just look for ‘Slow Burn’ by Your Man Alex Smith on Spotify today!

Brisbane-based musician Your Man Alex Smith sets out to find the perfect blend of musical theatre and rock. Using catchy hooks to sneak contemplative lyrics to the listener, Alex’s genre-hopping theatrical rock is a story-driven experience with a lot of heart.


While Alex is inspired by bands like Queen, Meat Loaf, Pink Floyd and The Protomen, his sound is often compared to the likes of They Might Be Giants and Ben Folds.

Kate thought her relationship was over, but then her ex dropped back into her DMs as if rising from the dead…

Kate originally wrote into the Ghosts of Boyfriends Past: Group Therapy community asking if you could ever get back what was lost after a sudden breakup and then a just as sudden 180 by the ex in question.

Here she continues the story and tells us what really happened after our amazing listeners provided her with a bit of advice.
