Rod's Relationship Fair

iHeartPodcasts and Paramount Podcasts
About this episode

Mixing love and work is complicated. But can you date a co-worker successfully? Our very own @Rod4Short mingles with callers who share their wins (and HUGE losses) dating in the workplace. Some end up married, others end up in a biracial relationship with a man 20 yrs older than them. LOVE IS CRAZY! The team also discusses CNN President Jeff Zucker's resignation over a consensual relationship.

 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
