<p>Melissa and Kate talk with <a href="https://twitter.com/sissenberg" target="_blank">Sasha Issenberg</a>, journalist and political science professor at UCLA, about his book <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-engagement-america-s-quarter-century-struggle-over-same-sex-marriage-sasha-issenberg/13046061?ean=9781984898517" target="_blank"><i>The Engagement: America's Quarter-Century Struggle Over Same-Sex Marriage</i></a>.
