Show Notes
In Part 1, Jess and Susie dissected how a salacious Newsweek report about women’s likelihood of getting married sparked a national panic. Here they share their own views on marriage – and unpack what we’d make of that silly story today. (If you haven’t listened to Pt 1, we recommend starting there!)
Guests:
- Sharon Attia, associate producer for IN RETROSPECT and resident young millennial
