We Have History with Francesca Beauman

We're traveling back in time with Francesca Beauman, writer, historian, and the world’s leading expert in Personal Ads, to learn about how people “dated” throughout history. We discuss how we got to where we are in dating culture, and how society transitioned from arranged marriages and courting to the casual hookup culture of today’s modern dating world. We learn how advancements like transportation and technology impacted the way people date, and finally we chat about what dating might look like 100 years from now (and what people then think of how we dated in 2021.)
