episode 6: Why do you leave restaurant reviews?
Kaitlyn and I love food; take that above photo of us as proof. We’re often conflicted about leaving reviews for restaurants, however. Kaitlyn has never written a Yelp review, whereas I’ve written only one. We worry about reviews as a whole. Should everyone be a reviewer? Are people good? Do they want to intentionally ruin each others’ livelihoods? For this week’s episode of Why’d You Push That Button, we look into restaurant reviews and why people leave them...

Kaitlyn and Ashley explore why there hasn’t been a fun way to share music on social media.

Ashley and Kaitlyn evaluate all the options for saving a date’s phone number and whether it’s weird to ask for someone’s last name.
episode 9: Why did you unfollow me?
What makes someone click that unfollow button, and why does it hurt our feelings when they do?
