Elite Daily's "Ex Games" Podcast Is Here And It Tells The Two Sides Of A Breakup Story

Breakups, am I right?

Over here at Elite Daily, we feel your pain. That's why we've started a whole new content series called the "Ex Games" that delves into the trials and tribulations of dating, relationships, "almost relationships," and breakups in 2017.

Whether it's the realization that things need to end, the act of rejection, the reality of being single, or the resurrection that is moving on, the Ex Games has every stage of a breakup covered.

And to really bring these stories to life, we've started a complementary Ex Games podcast. Each week, Elite Daily's Editor-at-Large Kaitlyn Cawley (that's me) will examine a new ill-fated romance, attempt to pinpoint where it all went wrong, and hopefully end up somewhere near the truth.

The structure is simple: Two exes tell their sides of the breakup story separately, then they listen to the other's account, and finally we bring them both back into the room at the same time to argue over everything they've heard and finally have it all out.

Who wouldn't jump at the chance to hear everything their ex thinks about them, to hear how the person on the other side really felt? We make our way through the love story, the good times, the bad times, the fights, the breakup, and the aftermath, leaving no stone unturned.

It's sometimes sweet, often painful, mostly awkward, and always entertaining (well, to others, of course).

You can check out all our episodes here, iTunes, ACast, or at any of the places you normally find your podcasts.
