22: Olga Koch on Dating Apps, Male Gaze & Teaching Men EMPATHY
Don't Get Me Started... With Abby BoomShow Notes
New Episodes Every Thursday AT 5PM!
Olga Koch gets REAL about dating apps, navigating the male gaze as a female comedian, and accidentally becoming the empathy teacher she never signed up to be. Comedian Olga Koch (Bad Advice, Mock the Week) sits down with Abby Boom to rant about modern dating culture, why everyone's going back to Tinder, how having an overwhelmingly male audience forces you to humanize yourself constantly, and why neither of them signed up to teach men emotional intelligence. They also spiral into business ideas, reality TV interview formats, and why talking to your parents about sex is the ultimate nightmare.

After breaking out with YeahMad and more recently co-founding Australian YouTube group The OG Crew, Abby Boom has become known for her sharp wit, deadpan humour, and unapologetic delivery.
Her new podcast Don’t Get Me Started with Abby Boom isn’t therapy, but it might feel like it. This is the podcast where guests come to unload their frustrations, confess petty hates, and dive into the everyday annoyances of life online and off.
Expect chaos, comedy, and plenty of yelling about the little things that somehow matter way too much. From influencers and celebs to internet troublemakers, nobody is safe, and that’s exactly the point.
