The podcast. And before we really get rolling, I just want to say one thing. We're going to be in LA next week, May 8th, 9th, and 10th. We're going to be at the Royce Theatre for three nights with our live show in the dark, which includes Palabolas the dance troupe, the singer, soundwriter, Tao Wen, and the comedian Dimitri Martin. Awesome lineup. You can still get tickets at RadioLab.org/InTheDark. Folks who've seen this show tell your LA peeps to come check it out. Yeah. I don't know what we're doing today, so you go.

I mean, you started National Public Radio. It started. You did kind of start at the beginning. And then you went away to do great things on TV. For 23 years, I was missing. And then you came back again. Okay. So when I pop back, I brought this puzzle back with me. It was about motherhood, actually.
