Three stories of the way technology can help us form connections and feel less alone.

Including Jo from Liverpool and Martin from Skelmersdale, single strangers who weren't looking for love - until they met in a virtual pub.

Plus Sheila and her daughter Lynn from Rotherham, who have both found comfort in a very low maintenance cat, called Willow.

And Dean, a retired psychiatric nurse from Ipswich who has found happiness in a hobby, which involves "love" dolls as artistic collaborators.

Presented and produced by Becca Bryers, with additional production from Shivani Dave.

With thanks to Peggy Walker and Grace Stead at ±«Óãtv Radio Sheffield, Christine Willis at ±«Óãtv Radio Merseyside, Jane Downs at ±«Óãtv Radio Newcastle and Graham Tempest.
