S2: Kids, Marriage and Changing Values, The Ruby Franke Case | Yalla Habibi Podcast

We ask one of the biggest relationship questions of all: what happens when the person you love changes? From children and marriage to veganism and life goals, we explore whether there are some differences that love simply can’t overcome, and whether chasing the future you imagined is ever worth losing the person you imagined it with. Along the way, we share our own experiences of changing views on kids, marriage, and the values that have shaped our relationship. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we unpack the disturbing rise and fall of Mormon parenting influencer Ruby Franke, how a series of gradual changes led to one of the internet’s most shocking true-crime stories. Meanwhile, “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shares a powerful Seth Rogen quote that might completely change how you see your partner and what it really takes to build lasting love.

S2: Do Successful Relationships Need Shared Values—or Just Mutual Respect? | Yalla Habibi Podcast

We explore one of the biggest questions in modern relationships: do opposites actually attract, or is long-term love built on similarity dressed up as compromise? From vegan and omnivore dynamics to Conservative and Labour worldviews, and even the clash between feminist thinking and alpha male ideology, we break down where difference adds depth and where it starts to quietly test a relationship’s foundations. Along the way, we ask whether holding onto your identity means you’re incompatible—or just honest about what you need. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we look at a study that flips a common dating belief on its head and reveals what actually seems to be true about what holds couples together. Whilst in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share a simple but powerful finding about relationships that might say more about compatibility than any difference ever could. Chapters (02:49) – Can a Vegan and an Omnivore Actually Make It Work? (11:05) – Can a Conservative/Republican and a Labour/Democrat Supporter Really Make It Work?

S2: What's the Best Dating App for Vegans in Their 20s and 30s Looking for a Serious Relationship? | Yalla Habibi Podcast

In Series 2, Finding The One When You're Not Everyone's Type, we're exploring a question that millions of people wrestle with: can you find a serious relationship on dating apps without compromising who you are? Using veganism as a case study, we examine what happens when your values, lifestyle, identity, or circumstances shrink your dating pool, and whether staying true to yourself actually helps or hurts your chances of finding love.  We kick off the series with a question that sounds simple but turns out to be anything but: what’s the best dating app for vegans looking for a serious relationship? We share the challenges of putting yourself out there when something that matters deeply to you already narrows the dating pool, the apps we loved and hated, how we eventually found each other, and why we think most people are asking the wrong question entirely. Along the way, we revisit our catfish stories and explore whether dating profiles tell you anything meaningful about compatibility at all. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week”, PETA runs a dating app experiment that produces a result nobody saw coming—raising a bigger question about what people are really looking for when they swipe right. Whilst in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only”, a surprising piece of relationship research challenges one of the most common pieces of dating advice and offers a more hopeful perspective on finding the right person.

Ultimate Peru Travel Guide: Is It Overhyped or Worth It | Yalla Habibi Podcast

Here’s your ultimate guide to Peru— home to one of the greatest wonders in the world, with ancient engineering so advanced we’re still scratching our heads today. We spent three weeks exploring Lima, Cusco, and Aguas Calientes so you can decide if Peru is right for your travel style, from city life and world-class food to mountain markets, Machu Picchu, and the Sacred Valley. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we share what Peru hit us with on day one and a surprising fact that completely changed how we saw Lima, while “Vegan Voyagers” puts one of South America’s food capitals to the test. Finally, in “Worth The Trip” we help you decide if Peru truly deserves a place on your bucket list and the things you’ll wish you knew before visiting.
