Dear Prudence Podcast Help

I'm not a Slate+ member, so I don't have access to their podcasts. Is anyone in the community a member? I wanted to talk about the letter re: co-workers commenting snarkily on someone's schedule when the someone is leaving regular to take care of their son from Dear Prudence: The “Permanent Closet” Edition episode from yesterday.

Thanks for your help

You can access this bit of the podcast without being a Slate Plus member

"Together, they tackle letters about what to do when a hiring manager calls your husband about a job that you applied to, how to handle nosy co-workers who question when you leave work to care for your son, what to do when your fat-shaming, homophobic colleagues chastise you for not wanting to socialize, what to do when you suspect your Jewish faith is keeping your girlfriend’s Mormon family at a distance, what to know if you’re planning on permanently staying “in the closet,” and whether you should say something to your friend about spending a lot of money on a mutual friend who already has a boyfriend."

This is the pay-walled bit:

"Slate Plus members will hear Prudie and de León discuss a letter writer who’s wondering how to tell her mother that she’s moving to her country of origin, despite her mom’s attempts to “erase” that part of her life after a bitter divorce."
