Seventy percent of business professionals say they have a "work spouse," according to a new survey. Respondents reported that these platonic workplace confidantes relieved stress, acted as sounding boards and understood job-related problems that real spouses could not.

Guests:

Chad McBride, chair and professor in the department of communication studies, Creighton University
