About the show

This is a podcast about love, life, and a second chance. Though our marriages failed, we still believe in the power of a great love story. We share the best (and worst!) dating stories, the highs and lows, lessons learned, and nothing’s off limits - well, except for Laura’s refusal to date anyone who lives more than 30 minutes outside her radius. This is Thirsty: the Podcast - because sometimes life leaves you wanting more.

“Going through divorce asks you to rediscover who you are at a cellular level.”

— Heather McG, “You’ve Got a Friend” (S1E5)

  • Laura Koo

    Laura is an introvert who hates the sound of her own voice, so podcasting seemed like the most natural endeavor.

    As a mother of three, an ex-wife of one, and an ex-girlfriend of a few, Laura feels like she is perfectly positioned to dole out sometimes insightful (but almost always entertaining!) advice on dating after divorce, navigating our swipe-a-holic dating culture, and how to laugh at yourself after going on trainwreck dates that you probably should have avoided. Strike that: dates you definitely should have avoided.

    With the handful of minutes left each week after working, parenting, dating, and podcasting, Laura likes to bake fancy things, build furniture, and binge watch the very worst reality TV.

  • Heather McG

    Heather is a writer and stand-up comic who does everything wrong. Known as a cool mom, mediocre triathlete, and soon-to-be divorcée, she works out daily, reads a ton, and is generally always learning something new.

    When it comes to dating, Heather is a newbie after 15 years spent in back-to-back relationships. You’re never too old to learn new things (or something like that.) A global pandemic seemed like the perfect time to re-enter the dating pool.

    Heather is a two-time Emmy-winning storyteller, but honestly they give those things out like candy. She also writes on her personal site, where she is currently accepting applications for her next ex-boyfriend.
