Well produced, lots of potential with unique "expert" guests. Lately however, the host Moreen Writer Calahoon gets upset over every little thing and clearly has a bias toward women. Not everything is an outrage or needs over-analysis. Also the "just my opinion" comment added after every statement is just ridiculous. Completely unneeded and pointless. This show started off great and has its moments but those moments are getting less and less. Hopefully things improve soon or I'm out.

Update: I found MC through MK. And seeing MK become so unhinged, I’ve stopped listening to MK after 20 years and I even bought her book. I’d like to listen to Maureen and Link but it’s hard knowing in doing so I’m lining MKs pockets and I no longer support her views.
ORIGINAL: Really like Maureen and the creativity she brings but I do agree with other reviewers that it’s getting pretty dark in here. Still listening for now.

It’s a conundrum that older, successful, Type A women often find they’ve become the kind of person that they’d most like to date or spend time with! Alpha Oprah may not care to be a traditional partner to anyone or to Stedman. He seems, stodgy, stiff, and boring. Moreover, men in our society have not been encouraged to put in the emotional work for continuous change and grow. A 75 year-old man is OLD (!) unless he is physically active and has made the effort to be interesting, engaging, and soli... more
