Description of the podcast:

This show is hosted by a group of young adults, 希文 (hei1 man4), 釗仔 (ciu1 zai2), 藍山 (laam4 saan1), Kana, Hippo, Y哥 (Y go1) and阿軒 (aa2 hin1). All the hosts phone in from different places (Hong Kong, United States, Australia) to host the show. They talk about random topics that would interest young adults – it could be a video that has gone viral amongst young adults, a story relating to an upcoming festival, a topic on love, etc, and express their personal views on those topics.

Since the hosts are unprofessional presenters, sometimes they do not carry the momentum for the show at the smoothest pace. They do not take calls from listeners but encourage them to leave messages on the show’s message board on channel-plus.org. Each episode starts and ends with a song.

The whole series is casual which listeners can learn about love and dating topics that interest young adults.

Summary: This podcast in Cantonese is recommended if you are interested in talks by young adults on the topics of love and dating. It is a very international podcast with all the podcasters in different countries.
