Increasingly, the women’s magazines we grew up on are taking deep dives into politics, health and the gender wage gap… But how did they go from tips on how to have better sex to delivering such thought-provoking content? Ms. Magazine is to thank — and Letty Cottin Pogrebin is one of the magazine's founding editors. She joins us this week to discuss the magazine’s journey — and her own. In Mailbag, a listener asks what financial responsibility (if any) they have to their estranged parents, and in our money tip of the week, we dive into the best items to buy in bulk to save money at the grocery store. Join us!
