I interview award-winning podcaster and investigative journalist Jordan Gass-Poore about the Texas legislation banning abortions after 6 weeks, Senate Bill 8. She shares how her perspective as a native Texan who’s interviewed activists on both sides of the aisle has shaped her understanding of the legislation’s supporters and its broader historical context. We discuss her personal connections to the topic, most notably her mom’s admission to having abortions of her own. The episode closes with speculation around what this means for Roe V Wade and reproductive rights as a whole.

This week Ryanne Gatti rejoins me to dissect the subject of many a group chat – the situationship. What is it? (A mess.) What are the red flags to watch out for? (“Looking for something casual” on Bumble.) How do you tell if you’re already in one? (If you have to ask, you probably are). We give real answers to all of these questions and share our advice on how to get out of your entanglement and into a committed relationship.

Roland Toney, brother-in-law of former guest David Zeff, shares his perspective on dating apps as an elder millennial who’s never used them. We analyze the dating app economics that favor fuckboy behaviors and undermine efforts to find a long-term partner, like A/B profile testing (evaluating which pictures/prompts have the highest success rate), level of investment (commitment to people you meet on an app vs. IRL), and paradox of choice (endless profiles to swipe through).
