This week, the dating app Bumble could not stay out of the news.
First, the company launched an anti-celibacy advertising campaign
mocking abstinence and suggesting women shouldn't give up on dating
apps. Then, at a tech summit, Bumble's founder suggested artificial
intelligence might be the future of dating. Both efforts were met
with backlash, and during a time when everyone seems irritated with
dating - where can people turn? Shani Silver, author of the Cheaper
Than Therapy substack, and KCRW's Myisha Battle, dating coach and
host of How's Your Sex Life? join the show to make sense of the
mess.

Then, it's been four years since the start of the COVID pandemic.
So much has changed - especially attitudes towards public health.
Brittany talks to, Dr. Keisha S. Ray, a bioethicist, to hear how
public health clashed with American culture - how we're supposed to
live among people with different risk tolerance - and what all this
means for the next pandemic.
