The business of dating

Available for over a year

We take a look at the different business models set up to make money out of romance. Dr Holly Wood is an expert in online dating, and discusses the proliferation of dating apps. We hear from Verity Geere who wrote The Man Detox, which chronicles her journey through free apps, paid for matchmaking services and dating agencies. And we speak with Hayley Bystram, owner of executive dating service The Bowes Lyon Partnership. Also in the programme, our reporter in Lisbon looks at the economic arguments shaping this weekend's election in Portugal. Plus, we find out about a shortage of truck drivers in the United States.
