Love's A Pitch: A Queer Dating Podcast

Olivia Titus (she/her) is a queer woman working in reality TV casting & development. She is newly single, an Aries, super family-oriented, and currently living in New York City. Olivia is originally from just south of Boston, likes being the more femme girl in the relationship, and is a great listener whose love languages are acts of service & quality time.  You are ideally masc or androgynous (anything but a cis straight man), not a total gym rat, and down to go out to a nice dinner. Her end goal is a monogamous relationship with marriage and kids.  In this episode, host Carolyn Bergier and Olivia talk about boundaries & dating in the friend group, cheating and the Vanderpump drama, and whether or not friends should date each other’s exes. You can find Olivia at Ginger’s in Brooklyn, or on instagram at @oliviatitusofficial [https://www.instagram.com/oliviatitusofficial/?hl=en] as well as TikTok at @oliviatitusofficial [https://www.tiktok.com/@oliviatitusofficial?lang=en]. Check out all of our guests over on Instagram at @lovesapitch [https://www.instagram.com/lovesapitch/?hl=en], and check out Carolyn’s personal page there at @tgicarolyn [https://www.instagram.com/tgicarolyn/?hl=en]. She’s also over on TikTok at @tgicarolyn [https://www.tiktok.com/@tgicarolyn]. This might be the last episode of this podcast. If you've been listening every week, thank you. It's been a fun project for me to start. You probably know, it's based on a live show that I do in Brooklyn, and I'm gonna continue to do that show, but I'm stepping away from podcasting for a little bit.  Thank You!

Sagan Chen (he/they) is a Chinese-American artist based in New York City working in film, TV, and theatre, and he will NOT be moving to LA!!!! Gender fluid & poly, Sagan is a Gemini Sun, Aries Moon, and Sagittarius Rising. While Sagan currently has one partner, he is also looking for a fem that probably has dark hair and is a little bossy. You’re most likely an artist with some level of emotional intelligence and would be into going to the theatre. Host Carolyn Bergier and Sagan jump right into Clexacon and the community at a good conference, Sagan’s newly found bottom boy status, not wanting to be told what to do, and using Mario Kart as a metaphor for romance.  If you are good at making choices and thinking outside the box, you can find Sagan on Instagram at @sagan.chen [https://www.instagram.com/sagan.chen/?hl=en], TikTok at @inspirasian51 [https://www.tiktok.com/@inspirasian51] or on Nintendo Switch.  See pics and clips of Sagan on Instagram at @lovesapitch [https://www.instagram.com/lovesapitch/?hl=en].

Phil Corin (they/them) is a nonbinary person of trans experience, leaning more masc. They say their friends would describe them as a kind, funny, and wise Capricorn with an open heart. At 54 years of age, Phil says they are always on a quest to learn more about themselves and how to evolve as a human. They also LOVE birds. Phil is looking for a fem presenting person with some basic kindness already living in NYC. Someone who is warm, open-hearted, self-aware, and loves live music & a good meal.  Host Carolyn Bergier and Phil dive into the rigidity of Capricorns, dating workshops and how to get over being adamantly anti-dating, the importance of someone's energy, and dating bisexual women.  If you’re also not into large crowds and want something more than a casual hookup, reach out to Phil on Instagram @Phil_aka_corinne [https://www.instagram.com/phil_aka_corinne/?hl=en].
