Sunday Special: 'Modern Love'

Over the last two decades, Esther Perel has become a world-famous couples therapist by persistently advocating frank conversations about infidelity, sex and intimacy. Today, Perel reads one of the most provocative Modern Love essays ever published: “ [What Sleeping With Married Men Taught Me About Infidelity] (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/06/style/modern-love-sleeping-with-married-men-infidelity.html) ,” by Karin Jones. In her 2018 essay, Jones wrote about her experience seeking out no-strings-attached flings with married men after her divorce. What she found, to her surprise, was how much the men missed having sex with their own wives, and how afraid they were to tell them. Jones faced a heavy backlash after the essay was published. Perel reflects on why conversations around infidelity are still so difficult and why she thinks Jones deserves more credit. Esther Perel is on tour in the U.S. Her show is called “An Evening With Esther Perel: The Future of Relationships, Love & Desire.”  Check [her website] (https://www.estherperel.com/tour2024) for more details ...

The Protesters and the President

Warning: this episode contains strong language. Over the past week, students at dozens of universities held demonstrations, set up encampments and, at times, seized academic buildings. In response, administrators at many of those colleges decided to crack down and called in the local police to detain and arrest demonstrators. As of Thursday, the police had arrested 2,000 people across more than 40 campuses, a situation so startling that President Biden could no longer ignore it. Jonathan Wolfe, who has been covering the student protests for The Times, and Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent, discuss the history-making week. Guest:  --- [Jonathan Wolfe] (https://www.nytimes.com/by/jonathan-wolfe) , a senior staff editor on the newsletters team at The New York Times. --- [Peter Baker] (https://www.nytimes.com/by/peter-baker) , the chief White House correspondent for The New York Times covering President Biden and his administration.

The New Abortion Fight Before the Supreme Court

As the presidential race moves into high gear, abortion is at the center of it. Republican-controlled states continue to impose new bans, including just this week in Florida. But in Washington, the Biden administration is challenging one of those bans in a case that is now before the Supreme Court, arguing that Idaho’s strict rules violate a federal law on emergency medical treatment. Pam Belluck, a health and science reporter at The Times, and Abbie VanSickle, who covers the Supreme Court, explain how the federal law, known as EMTALA, relates to abortion, and how the case could reverberate beyond Idaho.  Guests:  --- [Pam Belluck] (https://www.nytimes.com/by/pam-belluck) , a health and science reporter for The New York Times. --- [Abbie VanSickle] (https://www.nytimes.com/by/abbie-vansickle) , who covers the Supreme Court for The New York Times.
