Wifely Submission (Taylor’s Version) w. Megan Gailey & Evan Kleiman

<p>Taylor Swift is engaged, Trump is tormenting the Federal Reserve, Texas Republicans are trying to mandate Christian teachings in public schools, and Erin Ryan and guest-host Megan Gailey are here to talk about it. Then they unpack how the debate of what spaces should be child-free might just be anti-women. Next, KCRW’s Evan Kleiman joins to discuss the state of public media, the impact of ICE raids on restaurants in LA, and her favorite summer recipes. They wrap up with a discussion in the Sanity Corner about the return of the football season, the fabulous Katseye Gap ad, and the KPop Demon Hunters phenomenon.</p><p>For a closed-captioned version of this episode, <a href="https://youtu.be/ehTgcgZTdvk">click here</a>.
