The podcast Hidden Brain has been exploring long-term relationships: How to understand their dynamics better, how to improve them, and how to expand how we might think about them. And even though the episodes focus on marriage and long-term partnerships, a lot of the ideas they explore can be applied to other kinds of relationships, with friends, siblings or colleagues at work.

Shankar Vedantam is the host Hidden Brain. He joins host Scott Tong to talk about this series, called “Love 2.0.”
