In this episode, Neil speaks with Laura, a science teacher from Illinois. They discuss the confidence and intimacy felt while studying abroad, wanting children "early" after growing up in a big family, depersonalized parenting, the ferocity and snoopiness of tweens, 9/11's transformation of country music, Johnny Cash's humanizing hurt, what it means to be truly hungry, and Sally Rooney on the neurosis of being "late" to romance. They explore which song most reminds Laura of her dad and which song reminds her of someone she once knew and wishes she still did.
