If you’re a man (or a woman), this week’s episode is for you. Betty’s back to work and finding men frustrating all over again.

This week, Veronica shares her experiences launching a business in a male-dominated industry and reflects on the importance of female perspectives and the intimidation of the tech bro culture. Betty discusses her new job (again!), why diversity rocks and whether or not both of them are, in fact, Karens in denial.
Plus: Has Betty finally conceded that trad wives can be feminists and not all ultra-orthodox women are oppressed? The competitive tally adds up as the weeks-long debates rage on. And clothing and personal branding - is it a thing? That’s all this week in Not Just One Thing.

This week, Betty and Veronica debate body count and the concept of slut shaming. Do sluts even still exist? They navigate the complexities of competition and wonder whether women haven't earned their place in that most time-honored and male-dominated of professional sports: the pissing contest.
Plus: Are Gavin Newsom's political tactics against Donald Trump more gutter politics or a smart move to appeal to an electorate that seems to love a fight? Betty and Veronica fight it out and reflect on whether a dislike of Americans globally is inevitable in light of current political events.

* An apology for our unanticipated break last week. We're back to our regular programming schedule.
This week, Betty and Veronica discuss the TV show that is Devil's Peak and why invisibility might be the key to unlocking its true value. They also talk tradwives - could it be the wave of the future, and the general path to overall health and happiness? And, in response to a specific listener request, they agree (strangely) on a child's right to not choose.
This week, Betty and Veronica talk Love Island and its value as a forecast for the future, why getting drunk might save the world, and hope - what it means, how important it is, and why South Africa might just be the place to find it.
In this week's Not Just One Thing, Betty and Veronica reflect on their tour of the infamous Gupta compound and whether or not it's worth getting all worked up about Kim Kardashian's latest product launch. Oh, and they debate the kind of world Trump is leaving behind because what would an episode be without a discussion about Trump.
This week, Betty and Veronica discuss the power of community and what it means when you no longer have it. They also grapple with the lure of social media as a tool for the future, and how to help children make sense of the world around them.
This week, Betty and Veronica go all over the place. They discuss why under-age drinking might be healthier than mobile phones, what's really behind the Epstein files drama and why making change your friend might be the single best thing you can do to future-proof yourself. They also talk about the future of South Africa and why fighting on behalf of others is how you change the world. It's all in this week's episode - we did warn you, it's Not Just One Thing.
In this week's (slightly shorter) episode, Betty and Veronica discuss "Insta v Reality" on the separation of church and state, the perils of black and white HR policies and the weight of worrying about weight as we age.
Betty and Veronica discuss the small surge in European economic growth, what the Bezos wedding really means for female beauty standards and why shedding a good tear at work isn't always a bad idea. All in this week's episode of Not Just One Thing.
In this week's episode, Betty and Veronica get into it about the cultural influence of America, what it means to take a firm stand and gender roles in the wild. It's a weekend edition.
With the world gone slightly mad, Betty and Veronica try to make sense of what might be going on (with some seriously dangerous half knowledge) and why educating girls in areas historically reserved for men still has some way to go.
This week, Betty and Veronica discuss the perils of pornography, how to tackle the hidden biases we all hold and the responsibility we have for family. Oh, and LinkedIn.
Because life's too short not to have an opinion
In this week's conversation, Betty and Veronica get into it on the male takeover of menopause, corporate leadership shortcomings, the continued segregation of the hair industry and Trump's power to twist world leaders into pretzels.
