Podcast), as well as marriage and relationship expert Eli J. Finkel (The All-or-Nothing Marriage). There are literally hundreds of people studying what makes a marriage work, but we sometimes assume it's all guesswork. Alex and his guests dive into one of the most complex types of relationship: the open marriage. How do open marriages work - and DO they work? Do monogamous couples have the more trust in their relationship? If you open up your marriage, will it fall apart - or could it thrive? Eli J. Finkel, author of the bestselling book The All-or-Nothing Marriage, reveals some surprising truths about monogamy - and where it fails us. Steve and Julia tell us all about their partially-open marriage - and how it works. All this and more are covered on this brand new ep!

    Binge Eating: Food + Family with Bubba Aiono + Mauterangimarie Clark

    Food and family go hand-in-hand, and often have deep ties to our culture and heritage. Food is love in many families, but complicated patterns come to light when guilt, shame, and pressure to eat enter into the mix. Alex Aiono is joined by his cousin, actor Bubba Aiono, as well as University of Otago researcher Mauterangimarie Clark to explore the relationship of food to culture, and why our access to food (or lack thereof) can have a ripple effect on how (and why) we eat what we do. Bubba and Alex share about their struggles with binge eating disorder and crash diets. They dig deep into the ways in which generational trauma around food is passed down; when one generation doesn't know where their next meal is coming from, a scarcity mindset can be passed down - even when poverty has turned to privilege. Expert Mauterangimarie Clark uncovers why we make the choices we do around food, and how we can change the conversation and break unhealthy patterns.

    Are You a Target for Voter Suppression? With Nithya Raman + Aaron Thompson

    Voter suppression is more common and insidious than you think - and the fact is, you've likely experienced it in one form or another. But there are ways to keep yourself from falling for tricks online and combat long lines at the polls. In this episode of Let's Get Into It, we're joined by urban planner, former executive director of Time's Up Entertainment and LA City Council candidate Nithya Raman, as well as voting rights activist Aaron Thompson. Nithya shows us the massive differences we can make in our everyday lives by voting for in local elections - we're talking how much you spend on your rent every month and other things that directly affect you. She also tackles why it matters where a candidate's money comes from, and why being angry can be a powerful tool. Aaron and Alex unpack the dark underbelly of voter suppression, why you might be a target, and how you may already have been impacted and not even know it.

    Voting with your Heart with Katy Stoll + John Olds

    Voting can feel like you're choosing between the lesser of two evils. Tons of people feel stuck between a rock and a hard place (especially this year) when they want to vote for their ideals, but don't feel like their party's candidate will give them what they want. If you're feeling conflicted, Katy Stoll of the Worst Year Ever podcast and John Olds of Gen-Z GOP are here to talk about what you can do about it (even if you're not old enough to vote!). Alex Aiono's two guests this week may come from different ends of the political spectrum, but this discussion of politics is different. We find common ground between Republicans and Democrats, and find that the frustration over the chosen Presidential candidate turns out to be totally bipartisan. If you're feeling anything other than gung-ho about your candidate, this episode is for you. And remember to cast your vote!
