    Ep 3: Mary & Sharon Bishop-Baldwin: A Shelter in the Storm
    Jun 23 2021

    For most of us, wedding planning means shopping for dresses and touring venues. For Mary & Sharon, it meant suing the government for the right to get married in the first place. Their case – which went all the way to the US Supreme Court – was a pivotal milestone in the fight for marriage equality. How did their partnership sustain them through their decade long legal battle – and why was it a battle they felt called to take on in the first place?

It takes more than great storytelling to be the right fit for each type of road trip. What works for a cross-country adventure may not be quite right for a quick day trip. What you listen to with your significant other may not be (read: is definitely not) the same as what you listen to with a carload of kids. And when driving solo, sometimes what you want is a little company. No matter what kind of journey you have coming up, we’ve got you covered.

loved it!

First episode was great! I recognized Nadiya's voice because I watched her baking show on Netflix and I also watched her in Britain's Great Baking Show. I love baking competitions. It was great to get to know the personal relationships of both couples. Oh and Sabrina is great! Her voice is so soothing and she is just a natural at this. I love her! Ofcourse I love Idris (who doesn't?) How I wish I could see them and guests in person. We need a televised series, it's that good.

To Be or Not To Be?

When I first saw the podcast on my trending now list on Audible my initial thought was yeah okay another couple's podcast how interesting could it be! Well I was proven wrong. The show is very diverse in content and the mixing of coupledom partners was very stimulating. I am truly look forward to Season 2.
