Hey everyone, it's Anna.
I'm just popping in at the top of this episode to make sure you know about some special stuff that's only available to New York Times subscribers.
As you know, hopefully by now,
every Wednesday we publish a new episode of Modern Love that anyone can listen to from anywhere.
And we're going to keep doing that.
But only subscribers have access to the bonus content we publish on Fridays.
Every Friday, you can start your weekend by listening to the latest Modern Love column read aloud.
Subscribers also have access to the full back catalog of Modern Love episodes.
If you're not already a subscriber, we hope you'll consider becoming one.
Not just to get access to more Modern Love,
but as a way of supporting the journalism that powers the whole New York Times newsroom.
To learn more, you can go to nytimes.com slash podcasts.
Or you can subscribe directly from Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
Okay, here's the show.
As always, thanks for listening.
From the New York Times, I'm Anna Martin.
This is Modern Love.
Today, I'm talking to writer and therapist Gail Rice.
