Hi everyone, I'm Susie Weiss, and I've noticed there's just simply not enough podcasts in the world. So I'm launching my own. Let's go. Let's go, baby. Second Thought is a weekly show about pop culture. The stuff everyone's been binging, arguing about, obsessing over. Here's the thing about heated rivalry. I mean, even the most devoted swifties, I think we can agree, not our best work. We'll be hosting thoughtful conversations with culture's most important figures. Talk about genius.

Talk about generational talent.

Coming to headphones near you on

April 17th with a first guest you won't want to miss. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

Everybody wants somebody to complain to. And I always said like, all I wanted to do was come home

and bitch about my boss and there they were on the pillow beside me.

And you have nobody to complain to. And let's face it, like every boss any of us has ever had has annoyed us.

Welcome to how to. I'm Amanda Ripley.

Whenever the power balance changes in a relationship, weird things can happen. Say,

one partner starts making more money, or somebody decides to stay home with the kids. Before

you know it, oh so subtly, the dynamics can shift. Now imagine that your partner becomes

your boss. That's what happened to this week's listener,

and it's thrown everything out of whack. I married an amazing guy that I met at work. We've been

married about 15 years. We were team Bethany Travis, so two sides of a coin, everything we did.

We did together. We've worked at three separate places together.

And it's been amazing.

Bethany, which is not her real name, is an instructor at a small Midwestern community college.

For more than a decade, she and her husband, who were calling Travis, have worked alongside

each other as equals.

So I would see him for lunch and we'd have a date and then we'd go back to our separate places

and then we would see each other at home.

It was like having my best friend at work and I loved it.
