Hurrdat Media presents “Ex Appeal,” a series all about dating culture and relationships explored from the unique perspective of two exes who decided to stay friends. You might recognize hosts Jenn Lahmers from Extra and Julien Marlon from films like Holidate. In episodes, Jenn and Julien will share brutally honest advice while delving into dating, sex, and relationship questions with special guests, experts, and doctors.

Since 2020, “Ex Appeal” has released over 25 episodes and counting. The average length of episodes is an hour long. Stream the series in any order, since each episode covers a different, specific topic. After Jenn and Julien ended their relationship, they continued to openly discuss their lives and relationships. During the pandemic, Julien and Jenn turned their discussions into the podcast, “Ex Appeal.”

Jenn and Julien are not afraid to debate topics like marriage and share their opinions. When Jennifer Lopez reunited with Ben Affleck, there was an episode about getting back together with exes. Dr. Drew Pinsky and Paulina Pinsky joined Jenn and Julien to discuss It Doesn’t Have to Be Awkward, a book about sex and relationships. Other episodes explained the science of dating apps and lies, and psychologist Dr. Zoe Peterson spoke about warning signs of domestic violence. We heard about hygiene, long distance relationships, breakups, and matchmaking with matchmaker Thalia Ouimet, just to name a few topics.

Julien and Jenn draw from their own experiences in episodes like “Sensitive Subjects,” where they explored communication techniques that have worked and failed in relationships. Like, how can you tell your partner their hair is thinning?

In November 2020, Real Housewives of New York star Luann de Lesseps spoke with “Ex Appeal” about dating while famous. A recent episode interviewed evolutionary biologist, sex researcher, and Executive Director of the Kinsey Institute Dr. Justin Garcia about casual dating and more. Influencer Kayla Lauren shared, from her perspective, what it’s like dating in the social media age and how it can affect relationships. Adult film actress Trinity St. Clair told Jenn and Julien about her work-life balance.

In a recent episode of Podsauce, Alesha and Dax chatted with Jenn and Julien about their series. They congratulated Jenn’s pregnancy, and “Ex Appeal” released a “Pregnancy, Self-Image, and Sex” episode in November. Jenn and Julien told Alesha and Dax how they maintain balance in friendship, their cringiest episodes to record, and why they ask their partners to avoid listening to the podcast. Jenn and Julien liked Dax’s pitch for a future “Ex Appeal” episode about pet peeves.
