Resident pop culture expert, Xochi, and struggling PhD student, Siri, take you through the what? Why? And how? Of relationship research and what that means for your non-scientifically researched relationships. All of this research is coming out all the time, but academic literature can be intimidating and difficult to connect to “real life”. So let us do it for you! Siri will tell us all about what research is taking the psychology world by storm! On today’s episode, she will tell us all about blending families. How does it affect your relationship? How does it affect your kids? What’s the best way to go about it? After hearing the research on how to successfully blend a family, Xochi will tell Siri all about the hilarious and never exciting world of NBC’s Superstore, and the relationship between Amy and Jonah.
