Rivers and Robots perform live

There's live music from Rivers and Robots and Kate and Angie launch Radio 2's 'Finding Love Online' season.

Finding love in the 21st Century should be easy with online dating apps and social media. But if you aren't careful you could be left with a broken heart and a busted bank account.

As Radio 2 launches 'Finding Love Online' season, the Rev Kate Bottley and Angie Greaves discover how dating technology has evolved over the decades with Nichi Hodgeson, author of 'The Curious History of Dating'. They also speak to Paul Rider and Adeem Younis who have developed apps and websites to help single Christians and Muslims find partners. The explain why dating apps that appeal to faith groups are proving a hit.

There's live music from Manchester's indie worship band Rivers and Robots and we join our Charity Champion as he walks the Camino de Santiago for the charity dePaul.
