Show Notes
Would you let your friend pay for dinner or do you insist on splitting the check? How much emotional baggage can you drop on them before you should call a therapist? What do we really owe each other?
In this episode, Sabrina plays a game with Taha, Melissa, and the audience to see how complex that question really is. Then, she interviews Susie Armitage, a Peabody-nominated journalist and former TaskRabbit gig worker, to understand how technology and culture impact reciprocity in our relationships.
