Give Me A Buzz returns for season 2
The Give Me A Buzz podcast is returning for season 2.
The announcement:
With new dating trends every week and an ever-changing discourse on love, Bumble’s dating expert Lucille McCart has again called up her bestie Chantelle Otten, Bumble’s resident sexologist, to return with a new season of the popular podcast series.
With the first season shortlisted for an Australian Podcast Award in 2024, season 2 of Give Me A Buzz is curated for everyone interested in the world of dating and modern love, whether you’re newly single, a seasoned swiper or currently cuffed.
Give Me A Buzz returns for another 10 x 45 minute episodes, which will be released weekly on Tuesdays from 4 February 2025. Each week the duo, along with a special guest, will discuss subjects such as body image, finances in dating, cheating, microfeminism, heartbreak, dating with grief, manifestation, dating as a single mum and so much more.
Season 2 also expands the podcast’s audience, with Lucille and Chantelle welcoming their first international guest in episode one, where they’ll be joined by Dolly Alderton, the award-winning author and journalist to chat about heartbreak, timelines and the beauty of being single.
Additional guests throughout season one include everyone’s favourite drag queen Courtney Act, radio and TV presenter Jackie O, ‘biological bad bitch,’ New Zealand’s Kris Fox, podcaster and business owner Lucy Jackson and many more.
Lucille McCart, Bumble’s dating expert says, “We know that 2025 is expected to be a very transitional year, as women are reclaiming their dating journey and being increasingly clear about what they want and need when it comes to dating and relationships. We were delighted with our community’s response to Season 1 and we are excited to be back, bigger and better in Season 2.
We hope listeners continue to find the fun in dating through Bumble’s insights and the fresh perspectives from our amazing line-up of guests, who are joining us to tackle a variety of dating questions and challenges. From finances to cheating to microfeminism, Season 2 is here to continue the good work of Season 1 and help guide through the ever changing dating terms and rules.”
Chantelle Otten, Bumble’s resident sexologist says, “Bumble is all about empowering singles and making dating a better experience for everyone, which is why we’re bringing ‘Give Me A Buzz’ back for another season. Throughout my time with Bumble we’ve seen a never-ending list of questions on dating, sex and relationships and this podcast is a great avenue to help our community tackle these issues that are often overlooked or not commonly discussed. It’s a privilege to welcome 10 new guests into the studio for Season 2 to bring their expertise to the table on a range of topics, some of which are very close to the heart. We can’t wait for you to tune in.”
Bumble, the women-first dating app, again centres women’s experience and stories in podcast discussions, to guide Gen Zs and Millennials through modern dating and relationships. This comes as Bumble’s 2025 Dating Trends report revealed that nearly 3 in 4 (72%) singles globally are looking to find a long-term partner in the next year.
Bumble has again partnered with the award-winning experts at MIK to produce Season 2, adding to MIK’s portfolio of leading Australian podcasts, from The Inspired Unemployed, Big Small Talk, The Fairbairn Podcast and more.
MIK have stepped up Season 2, to now offer audiences the ability to consume Give Me A Buzz via vodcast (video-on-demand cast). Hosted on Bumble’s YouTube channel, this option also allows for greater accessibility options for our community living with disabilities and will sit alongside the option to use captions on Spotify and transcripts on Apple.
The first episode drops February 4th 2025. Listen or subscribe to Give Me A Buzz today, wherever you get your podcasts. Follow @bumble_australia on Instagram to stay in the loop.
