What happens when the job you've built your identity around suddenly disappears?

A live guest asks Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody how to navigate the emotional fallout of losing a job—and how to rediscover who you are when your work no longer defines you.

Also: a listener sends a rant so the family responds with their own pet peeves (airports and noisy restaurants). Plus: a home repair dilemma, and public domain karaoke.
