Summary

This week we’re joined by ‘1A’ senior producer Jonquilyn Hill and Danielle Kurtzleben, co-host of ‘The NPR Politics Podcast.’ Together, we unpack the week that was, including societal reopening, UFOs, and the latest escalation in the unending generation wars. Plus, romance novelists Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings, who have written more than a dozen novels together under the pen name Christina Lauren. They dish about their new book, how they became BFFs, and why they love the romance genre. AND science writer Olga Khazan explains why it’s never too late for you to change your personality. (But only if you want! We think you’re great just as you are.)
