Dating Apps Are Having an Identity Crisis Dating apps were supposed to make finding someone easier - so why does dating now feel like admin? Kai dives into the strange state of modern dating, from swipe fatigue and perfectly curated profiles to AI increasingly influencing who you see and who you match with. With Tinder reportedly testing its AI-powered Chemistry feature in New Zealand and Australia, could giving dating apps even more information about us actually lead to better matches? And would you let an AI analyse your camera roll if it meant finding someone more compatible? Plus, Kai gets into the uniquely Kiwi problem of opening a dating app only to discover your mate’s cousin, your ex’s best friend, or someone you sat behind in Year 10 maths - and asks whether the future of dating could end up looking a little too much like Black Mirror.

The Real Family Experience at Orlando’s Parks Disney, Universal & the Real Orlando Experience What’s it really like to take the family to Orlando and tackle Disney World and Universal Orlando? In this episode of Beyond the Boarding Pass, I’m joined by two very special guests — my husband Dave and our daughter Elizabeth — to chat about our recent family holiday to Orlando. We talk about the hotels we stayed in, the Disney and Universal theme parks, water parks, food, queues, the Florida heat and everything in between. We also share the things that surprised us, what we loved, what we’d do differently next time, and our tips for families planning their own Orlando adventure. It’s a very honest, family perspective on doing Disney and Universal — from the excitement of the parks to the reality of keeping everyone happy, cool and fed! So, if Orlando is on your travel wish list, grab a coffee and join us Beyond the Boarding Pass for a chat about what it’s really like to experience the magic with the family.
