    One Case, Fifty States: When Marriage Was An Exception To The Law | Why So Many Workers Quit Their Boss, Not Their Job

    One Case, Fifty States: When Marriage Was An Exception To The Law

    • For 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 Price
    Producer: Polly Hansen

    Why So Many Workers Quit Their Boss, Not Their Job

    • Many people don’t leave jobs they love but leave managers they can’t work for anymore. We examine how toxic leadership styles quietly drive burnout, erode confidence and push workers toward the exit even when they may love everything else about their position.

    Guests:

    • Sheila Nielsen, career consultant, owner, Nielsen Career Consulting
    • Laura Hambley Lovett, workplace psychologist, author, I Wish I’d Quit Sooner: Practical Strategies for Navigating and Escaping a Toxic Boss.

    Host: Marty Peterson
    Producer: Amirah Zaveri
