The Spouse Angle is a podcast that breaks the news down for military spouses and their families. Each episode introduces subject matter experts and military guests dealing with current events from a military perspective – from new policy changes to exploring the challenges of family life. The podcast is hosted by Natalie Gross, a freelance journalist and former reporter for the Military Times who grew up in a military family.
New research is shedding light on how unemployment can affect the mental health of spouses and their families. In this episode, two spouses share their struggles and how they eventually found work success.
