I'm sitting here waiting for Sharon Mishihi to show up for our video call.

And we're playing the first episode of her new series of appearances on the show today.

It's a ten-part series about a young Iranian-American woman who wants nothing more than to become

a mother.

And a big part of enjoying this show is being surprised by what happens.

So...

Hi, Jonathan.

Hi, how you doing?

Good.

Just one second.

I'm just stopping.

I'm just closing one dose.

I unplugged my refrigerator.

Okay.

Great.

So, how have you been?

I haven't seen you in a while.

I've been... kind of crazy.

I don't know.

Finishing appearances was a very big project.

And I think I've been doing this weird mental thing where I was like, when the show is finished,

there will be the rest of my life.
