364 First Dates

364 First Dates follows Emma Vanderhorn, a newly divorced writer who commits to going on a year of first dates--and recording every one of them for her podcast. What starts as a way to make sense of modern dating quickly turns into something bigger, as her stories gain attention and her voice reaches far beyond what she expected.

But as the dates pile up and the audience grows, Emma begins to realize the hardest part isn't finding love, it's facing herself. Honest, funny, and uncomfortablely relatable, 364 First Dates is a story about second chances, unexpected reinvention, and what happens when your life becomes the story you can't stop telling.
