A new crime thriller Talking to Strangers by Fiona Barton explores how vulnerable women are when they swipe right. And what shape is your digital footprint in?
Caoimhe N铆 Chathail presents the show today and finds out that swiping right on a dating app might not lead to "happy ever afters" with thriller writer Fiona Barton. Her new book "Talking to Strangers" deals with the darker side of meeting someone online.
She talks about the gambles women take when going on dating apps when a friend told her that she was going on a date with a new man. 鈥榃e鈥檙e going for a hike. On Salisbury Plain....he's sent me the map co-ordinates for where to meet.鈥�
鈥楤ut he鈥檚 obviously an axe murderer with a shovel in the boot of his car,鈥� I said, half-joking. 鈥楧on鈥檛 go!鈥�
She did but no second date.
And what shape is your inbox in? As Caoimhe confesses to having 17,000 UNREAD emails, Professor Hans Vandierendonck of Queens University Belfast is on hand with advice to navigate us through cleaning up our digital pollution.
All that plus cracker tunes from Haim, Coldplay and Orla Gartland!
