Show Notes
So-called May-December romances have been a standard feature in literature and movies...and life...forever. There are plenty of reasons for this but recently data has shown the age gaps narrowing. What's behind the change? Cognitive psychologist Dr. Haley Moss Dillon joins us to help us figure it out.
Before we get to that, though, we always do an end-of-year poll with some fun holiday questions and a bit more serious ones about what Americans are thinking going into the next year.
And our final fun fact for 2024...and the last in our three-month stretch of themed fun facts...brings us the things we DON'T like about the holiday season. Because it's not all sweets, treats, and gifts!
