About

Call Your Girlfriend started in 2014 as a podcast for long-distance besties. Every week, two friends called each other to talk about pop culture, politics, friendship, and whatever else was on their minds. Over eight years and nearly 200 episodes, the show built a loyal audience of hundreds of thousands of listeners. It wrapped in February 2022.

The conversations we had on the show kept coming back to the same things: how we connect with people, how technology changes those connections, and what happens when the old ways of relating to each other stop working. Those questions didn't go away when the podcast ended. If anything, they got louder.

So we're back — not as a podcast, but as a publication. We write about AI girlfriends, AI companions, virtual relationships, and the weird new ways people are finding connection through technology. We test the apps, dig into the trends, and try to make sense of a space that's moving fast and doesn't always make sense.

The podcast archive is still up. You can browse all the episodes here or find them on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
