What's the most unusual place you've been on a date? We asked Modern Love listeners, and the answers didn't disappoint. Digging through landfills, listening to cases in the night court… the stories got weird. And there's one that our host, Anna Martin, considers the weirdest of them all (hint: dead bodies).

For our final episode of 2022, we begin by Dev Aujla's essay on how he ended up traveling on a freighter across the Atlantic Ocean with a woman who weeks earlier had broken up with him on the advice of his astrologer. Then we hear from you.

This is our last episode before the holidays. We'll see you in 2023!
