About this episode
<p>This week, The Sporkful plays matchmaker! We put out the call for Sporkful listeners looking for love, and many of you responded. We used our proprietary algorithm (i.e. a producer looking at a spreadsheet) to set up and record two blind dates — one in New York and one in Chicago. Will their love smolder like a kebab on a hot grill? Or will they repel each other, like oil and vinegar in a salad dressing that hasn’t been properly emulsified?</p><p>The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Kameel Stanley, Jared O'Connell, and India Rice. Special thanks this week to Shantel Holder, Andrea Quinn, and Shawn Allee.</p><p>Right now, Sporkful listeners can get three months free of the SiriusXM app by going to <a href="https://siriusxm.com/sporkful" target="_blank">siriusxm.com/sporkful</a>.
