In case you needed a reminder that
what we refer to as “January 1st, 2021” is just an arbitrary marker of time, and the difficulties, fears, and disagreements of 2020 won’t just evaporate amid the firework smoke at midnight… I think the news cycle this week made that astoundingly clear.
But here at Meet Cute, we know that our strong sense of community, our belief in the power of love, and our Hope for the Whole World will persist – no matter the date on the calendar. Thank you for listening: whether you’re a rabid rom-com fan, a casual listener, or–like me–looking to give your chewed-up nails a 15-minute break. We’re glad you’re here. We’re here for you. And there’s so much we’re looking forward to sharing with you this year.
xoxo,
Meet Cute

In Part One, pre-med students Elijah and Katia ride the train home for winter break, seemingly with nothing in common...until they realize they were friends and allies in a city-building video game. Sparks fly across their circuit boards until another player shows up-- someone, it seems, who took Katia's place when she left the game. Will they reconnect before it’s game over for Elijah’s online–and love–life?
In Part Two, a doctor is convinced to go to the holiday gala by a whimsical woman who claims he saved her mom's life. Unexpectedly, the two hit it off-- and the doctor even changes his tune about holiday cheer. But still, something about this new relationship feels like a bit of a miracle cure…
In Part Three, Roy and Marco meet on New Year’s Eve while visiting their grandparents at a bingo match. The competition heats up when they learn that their single grandparents have been dating! Roy and Marco then warm up to each other, even though the question still stands: once a cheater, always a cheater?

🎼 Love Song of the Week 🎶
We love this pared-down, upbeat cover of a song by The Cure. It has just the right amount of melancholy to make you feel like The Main Character on those chilly evening walks at 4pm.
