One Case, Fifty States: When Marriage Was An Exception To The LawFor much of U.S. history, marriage quietly overruled consent, shielding a crime the law refused to name. We revisit the 1978 case that cracked that silence and follow the slow, uneven fight to recognize spousal rape as a crime nationwide. Even now, it raises an uncomfortable question: when the law changes, how long does it take for beliefs to follow?Guest: Sarah Weinman, journalist, author, Without Consent: A Landmark Trial and the Decades-Long Struggle to Make Spousal Rape a Crime.Host: Gary PriceProducer: Polly Hansen Why So Many Workers Quit Their Boss, Not Their JobMany people don’t leave jobs they love but leave managers they can’t work for anymore.
