I'm your host, Meghna Chakrabarti.
Last month, our team brought a live performance of modern love to the Hot Docs podcast festival in Toronto.
Andrew Rannells was there.
He's best known for his role in HBO's girls.
And he performed his own essay during a night of casual sex.
Urgent messages go unanswered.

Hello.
Okay, I don't remember his last name.
His first name was Brad, which is the perfect name for a relatively faceless memory from your early twenties.
He was handsome, with a nice smile and startlingly blue eyes.

It's like you're seeing too deeply into their head and there's nothing back there.
But I had never dated anyone with blue eyes, and it was springtime.
