Ep 26: Textationships
Can you start a relationship, or maintain one, effectively via text? Your #favepodcastpair wants to know.

Ep 20: Safe Spaces
We made it to 20 EPISODES! Even though we've had a few 2-parters, we are celebrating this as a DUB!Safe spaces can be few and far between in relationships. Women complain that men don't share their feelings, but are men allowed to truly feel and express their genuine experience? Barzini says no, and breaks down the conundrum for Dre while she strives to understand why (generally) men don't fully express themselves.
