The two discuss the fascinating links between sustainability and romance, looking at all the surprising ways with which consumption affects the way we behave and think in relationships. Touching on everything from wedding dress shopping and first date outfits to gender binaries and consumer identities, the episode is as wide-ranging as it is interrogating. They also talk about Aja’s relationship with her current partner, and how it began as a long-distance online romance.
