EP 82 Do You Want to Know

Wednesday, May 20, 2026 • Duration 34:33

In this episode, we talk about what and if you really want to know. Do you want to know if your partner has cheated? Do you care how many people they had sex with before you? Or it is better to just not know?

Please note that we do talk, briefly, about Gisele Pelicot’s new memoir discussing her rapes and horrific abuse by her husband and others.

And no, we’re not going to tell you what Eugene reminded Stephanie of at the end of the episode and what we discussed after we turned off the recording.

EP 81 You Asked For It

Wednesday, May 6, 2026 • Duration 31:15

We answer your questions on surviving a lay off, using your words and freelance vs full time foolishness.

You, our favorite listeners, sent in some great questions and we get to some of them in this episode.

How does a man who was laid off from his public health job after budget cuts do better in interviews?

What happens when your boss or co-workers don’t use their words but expect you to anticipate their needs? Eugene and Stephanie have different experiences with and decide it is gendered.

You’re freelance and left out of the loop by your full time co-workers. What can you do? Hint – working across time zones with an international team should never be this hard.
