Hello, I'm a fair bit older than your usual participant, but glory in the frank discussion, and supportive fact based approach. Could there be a topic sometime about the changes people experience into middle age and beyond, if it won't gross out the younger audience too much...

Description

The Hook Up is about love, sex and relationships. We answer your questions, learn things together, cry over heartbreak and normalise shit. Every Tuesday Dee and Pip debate your dating dilemmas and hear your cooked stories. Every Thursday it's the sex ed you never had — we call on an expert to go deep and find answers with Dee.
