“Think Out Loud” wanted to hear how people are navigating the dating scene right now. So we gathered a panel of “experts” to help us break it down.

Sarah Ruby Armstrong is the creator of Dating Profile Tune-Ups, Playdates and Kissing Booth Social Club. Taylor Kravitz is a licensed marriage and family therapist, the CEO of Empowered Fulfillment Therapy, and an adjunct professor at Lewis & Clark College. Margaret Bagan is a marketing specialist in Portland and served as our resident dating single.

THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR:

They bravely joined us in front of a live audience at Portland’s Revolution Hall to talk about the highs and lows of modern dating.

“Think Out Loud®” broadcasts live at noon every day and rebroadcasts at 8 p.m.
