Do you follow up with friends about money they owe you, or do you let it slide? Would you pay your romantic partner to do the dishes? How about asking your coworker how much they make?

Guest host Anita Rao talks with “This Is Uncomfortable” host and former WUNC Fletcher Education Fellow Reema Khrais about the new program and her own relationship with friends and finances.
