525: Talking Dogs, Marriage Pacts, & Crossword Equality

Jun 14, 2021

Today we find out about a man whose bride died at the altar, so he married her sister instead (romance is alive!). Find out why people think dogs can talk, and Sarah is ready to train Bo to have some girl talk. Plus, we learn why robot dogs for lonely senior citizens might not be helping as much as we'd hope. We find out about the Marriage Pact Questionnaire sweeping the nation, and the reasons why young people are seeking mates at a young age now. We hear why one crossword puzzle editor is changing clues to give representation to women, minorities, and underrepresented groups. Plus, we talk to Mukunda Angulo about The Wolfpack documentary, which features his family and their life trapped in a NYC apartment, how they got out, and how his bravery freed his family from isolation.
