Am I Undateable? w/ Khleo Thomas and Mandii B: Does finding the kind of relationship you want mean conforming to an ideal of what a romantic partner is “supposed to be”?

To explore further, Shan sits down with both Mandii, from the “See, The Thing Is” and “WHOREible Decisions” Podcasts and Khleo Thomas from Disney’s “Holes”; two successful and fascinating individuals who have come to believe that they are undateable.
