In this episode, Neil speaks with Tanya, a novelist, mother, and "recovering architect in purgatory" on Long Island, New York. They discuss technology thwarting architects, writing novels to inform the public, how television has improved fiction, the predatory industry of egg "donation," parenthood as a prison sentence, and the irony of running away. They explore which song never fails to make Tanya smile and which song reminds her most of being a parent.
