Matchmaking is booming. Could it solve the relationship recession?
About this episode
Today, we’re bringing you the best from another KUOW podcast, Booming.
Seattle is becoming a city of singles. And that’s turned one of the world’s oldest businesses into one of the hottest new ones.
App fatigue is causing more and more singles to break up with online dating.
Instead of swiping, more and more people are turning to matchmakers and other ways to find love IRL. Often spending thousands of dollars in the process.
Matchmaking is having a moment. Could it solve what some are calling the 'relationship recession' and help the economy as well?
