Prudence is joined this week by Max Jacobs, a radio and podcast producer based in New York. Long ago, he helped produce this show.

Prudie and Jacobs dig into letters about what to do when a neighbor’s cigarette smoke creeps into your apartment, how to cope with your mom’s passive-aggressive behavior, what to do when your privileged partner complains about his job, and whether your wife should be more careful about hiding her pot smoking from the kids.
