Is it time to repurpose romance? Tanya Sweeney thinks so. In today's episode, the journalist talks to Kathy Sheridan about Valentine's Day, modern dating and why we need to be more generous with our romance, spreading it to all of our loved ones: friends, family and partners. In the second half of the show, Mills & Boon Harlequin author Karin Baine, who is still holding hands with her husband nearly a quarter of a century later, talks to Kathy about writing those kind of romance novels and why replacing good old-fashioned courtship with Tinder dating just confuses younger people about what love really is.
