Just a quick note before we begin.
This is a great moment of fear and unrest in the United States.
This episode was recorded several weeks ago, and we hope it offers you at least a small space to find respite.
From the New York Times and WBUR Boston, this is modern love stories of love, loss, and redemption.
I'm your host, Magna Chakrabarti.
Sometimes when you go through a bad breakup, the only thing you want is answers.
Why didn't things work out?
When did it go from good to bad?

Hasan's Netflix show is Patriot act with Hassan Minhaj, and it's releasing new episodes now.
Why do you think Jenna left me?
I asked friends and family, pen and paper in hand.
I admit it looked silly, and it felt silly, too.

And I had decided to follow her advice.
Enough with the endless whimpering.
