Amy Alkon & Dr. Verdolin: Communicating to find, keep, or improve a relationship

It's "Science News You Can Use" radio, with Amy Alkon and Dr. Jennifer Verdolin.

How you communicate can kill or save a relationship -- or help you get into a really great one. 

But it’s hard to know the nuances of communicating: When should you be honest? When should you be, um, less than honest? 

There’s a lot of advice out there on how to talk to people (and people you love) but on tonight’s show we’ll be turning to science to debunk myths and lay out tips on how you can communicate your way into a relationship or make the one you have more loving, fun, and successful. 

About this show: This is a very special every-other-Sunday-night show with science-based advice columnist and author Amy Alkon and animal behaviorist and author Dr. Jennifer Verdolin laying out science news you can use to solve your relationship problems or just improve your relationships and have a better life. 

And don’t forget to buy our science-based and amusing books -- supporting our show while entertaining yourself and learning a thing or two to improve your life. Amy’s new book is "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck" and Jennifer’s is "Wild Connection: What Animal Courtship and Mating Tell Us about Human Relationships."
