When Claire was in her late 30s, she found herself telling strangers on airplanes stories about her kids—which is a pretty normal thing to do, except that Claire didn’t have any kids. She also didn’t know why she was doing it. Why would a successful, accomplished, and happily married woman start making up imaginary children? And why do men and women have such different reactions when they learn about Claire’s lie?
Host: Brian Phillips
Producers: Mike Wargon, Conor Nevins, and Vikram Patel
Sound Design: Kaya McMullen
Mixing and Mastering: Scott Somerville
