You're A Burden To Me And I'm A Burden To You
from Starter Marriage · host Allison Raskin, John Blakeslee, & Studio71
After a harrowing week without hot water, John emerges as an expert on tankless water heaters, while Allison shares her battle with pregnancy exhaustion. She also takes aim at the corruption behind John’s new cutthroat competition: “Sweetie of the Week.” Writer and disability rights activist Emily Ladau then joins the chat to discuss how the disabled community has been denied marriage equality and how adopting a “curb cut” philosophy could benefit us all. The conversation leads Allison to reveal one of her main reasons for only wanting one child.
