21:49Now PlayingIs location tracking building relationships? Or ruining them?
Four in 10 () U.S. adults share their locations with at least one person. But while it's convenient, is it also a violation of privacy? And who really needs to know where you are? We're getting into how location sharing became a norm, the pros and cons, and how to turn it off without making things weird.
Brittany breaks it all down with Gina Cherelus () , New York Times styles reporter and writer of their Third Wheel dating column, and Tatum Hunter () , internet culture reporter at The Washington Post.
This episode first aired on December 3, 2025.
