Hi, I'm Sarah Gabrielli, and I've traveled to every single lesbian bar in the country for my podcast, Cruising. Each episode of Cruising features a different space and tells the stories of the humans that run it and the humans that call it home. You can listen to Cruising on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Season 1 and 2 are available now, so be sure to binge them before Season 3, which will go beyond the bars to queer bookstores, farms, peace encampments, and more, premiering February 4th.
Today on Something You Should Know, why you might want to deliberately lower the pitch of your voice. Then, um, butts. Why does there seem to be such fascination with them?
People often think like having a big butt or a small butt means something. So like, oh, women with big butts, they are more fertile. That's a really commonly held myth about butts. Yeah, lots of people say that to me. Have you ever heard that?
Also, should you calculate the tip on a restaurant bill before or after the tax? And how to apologize because a good apology is golden.
The steps for making a good apology are so easy and yet actually doing them is so hard because our brains are not wired for this. Apologizing is a really brave act.
All this today on Something You Should Know. Every time I've had to hire someone, it had to be done fast.

The trick to finding the right person is to make sure a lot of qualified people know about your job opening.
And you see, Indeed has this thing called Sponsored Jobs. So your post jumps to the top of the page for relevant candidates. So you can reach the people you want to reach faster. And it works. Now here's what I think is the magic of Indeed.
