Is marriage on the decline, or just evolving? In this episode, Steve and Kristin, both happily married, dive into the ever-shifting dynamics of modern relationships. With dating apps and social media rewriting the rules of romance, is technology making it easier or harder to find the one? From dwindling marriage rates to the debate over housework and child rearing equality , we discuss how love, commitment, and cohabitation have changed over the years and where it's going with this new conservative pro-natalist administration.

Social media platforms like X, Facebook, and TikTok are a topic of significant debate almost anywhere a conversation takes place.

With users totaling in the billions, every aspect of our daily lives are impacted by what is posted, commented on, or in some extreme cases, acted upon by the members and followers who willingly, and sometimes unknowingly, share their personal data. 

Should social media be regulated like radio and TV?

The You Need to Listen Podcast explores that issue and tries to answer that question and more.

Kristin Brey and Steve Scaffidi take on the power and peril of the largest media platforms in the world on this week's edition of YNTL.

Political ideology is more complicated than Left or Right, Democrat or Republican. Sometimes people lean into their political identity while others are uncomfortable with any sort of label. For two people who offer their thoughts and opinions on a daily basis, Steve and Kristin also recognize that a lot of people project their own labels onto them.

For episode one of their new podcast, Steve and Kristin both took Pew Research’s Political Typology Quiz to see where they landed on the political spectrum. Listen to this inaugural episode to find out how far apart they actually are and some surprising issues they agree on.
