We're talking with Eric Klinenberg, sociologist and author (and co-author of Modern Romance with Aziz Ansari), about the rise of living alone, why women aren't settling for long-term partners, and what life looks like when you're happily unmarried. But we're also discussing relationships -- how we choose partners (are we doing it wrong?) and what we expect from our partners (is it realistic?). Plus, we review Normal People and bring back That Took a Turn. We are also addressing race and our country's current state of affairs.  Check out Eric's website with all his books and info, and follow him on Twitter @EricKlinenberg.
