Philicity Reeken Gets Real About Modern Romance In New Podcast

Jacaranda FM radio presenter, actress, and self-confessed “serial dater” Philicity Reeken is tackling the rollercoaster world of modern dating in her boldest project yet—a brand-new podcast titled ‘Love, Dating & Chaos with Philicity Reeken’. The JacPod Original takes listeners on a raw, hilarious, and deeply personal journey through the messy realities of love in the digital age.

With her signature mix of humour, honesty, and heart, Philicity peels back the layers of 21st-century romance – think ghosting, red flags, cringe-worthy dates, decoding mixed signals, and all the strange, silly, and soul-shaking moments in between. Each episode is a no-holds-barred exploration of the dating world, told through Philicity’s lens as a woman who’s lived it all, laughed through it, and is finally ready to talk.

“Dating these days feels like Survivor: The Romance Edition,” Philicity says. “You’re dodging red flags, decoding texts like they’re ancient hieroglyphics, and trying not to lose your mind in the process. That’s why I started this podcast—I needed a space where we could laugh, cry, and call out the madness together.”

Each weekly episode, dropping every Thursday at 5am, runs between 20 to 45 minutes, featuring candid interviews with friends, fellow daters, matchmaking professionals, and dating event organisers. Philicity also shares her own escapades—bad dates, brutally honest reflections, and a few “did-that-really-happen?” moments that will leave listeners feeling seen.

In the debut season of ‘Love, Dating & Chaos with Philicity Reeken’, she unpacks topics like matchmaking services, online dating horror stories, and the age-old question: Should she lower her standards? Plus, you’ll hear about bathroom escape plans, singles night dynamics, and what men are really thinking.

Created especially for women navigating the highs and lows of the dating scene, or recovering from it, ‘Love, Dating & Chaos with Philicity Reeken’ is for anyone who’s ever asked, “Is it supposed to be this hard?”

Whether you’re newly single, dating with kids, chasing “the one,” or trying to decide if a relationship is even what you want, this podcast is the ultimate safe space. It’s the audio equivalent of a brutally honest wine night with your bestie – part venting session, part life coaching, and all heart.

“‘Love, Dating & Chaos’ is the podcast I wish existed back when I was trying to figure this all out,” Philicity adds. “I’ve had enough awkward silences, unmatched energy, and ‘is-it-me?’ moments to fill a season. We’re getting real about the questions people are too afraid to ask and laughing through the pain. Because if you can’t laugh about love, what’s the point? I’m putting it all on the mic because if I’ve learned anything, it’s that we’re all navigating this madness together.”

Listen to ‘Love, Dating & Chaos with Philicity Reeken’ on www.jacarandafm.com under JacPod, or wherever you get your podcasts, from 15 May with new episodes premiering every Thursday. You can also catch Philicity live every weekday morning between 06:00 and 09:00 on Jacaranda FM’s ‘Breakfast with Martin Bester’.
