Her Future Husband Was Hiding in an Old Photo
Brenna Jennings rediscovered a photograph from a Boston house party in 1998 showing her sitting beside the boyfriend she was dating at the time. Decades later, she noticed another man quietly sitting near the window: Steve De Trolio, her then-roommate, whom she would eventually fall in love with and marry. Nearly three decades into their marriage, the photograph has become an extraordinary snapshot of two completely different possible futures appearing in the same frame.

We flipped it: asked listeners what their partner does that THEY find disgusting. Even better calls.
Used the recap almost word for word as my intro. Saved me fifteen minutes of prep this morning, thank you.
