Summary
This week, Vanessa is joined by Katie Mingle from 99% Invisible. They explore this week’s Reddit question written by a woman in a 10 year relationship who’s experiencing feelings for another man.
To find an answer, Vanessa and Katie call Katie’s mother, romance novelist Pam Mingle. Together, they revisit a question from earlier in this season: whether love at first sight exists. Pam, Katie and Vanessa consider the difference between romantic love and motherly love, the failures of monogamy, and whether Pam will write another romance novel.

| 0:00.0 | Spoke Media. Not sorry, productions. Hi, I'm Vanessa Zoltan and welcome to this week's episode of Hot and |
| 0:18.0 | this week we're calling the episode, Monogamy isn't working. Julia, thank God is finally at the dentist, |
| 0:27.0 | Julia, thank God, is finally at the dentist. So this week I'll be talking about Love |
| 0:35.6 | at First Sight and answering another love advice question that nobody asked us |
| 0:39.2 | with the senior producer of a little podcast that you might have heard of called 99% invisible. |
| 0:45.1 | Her name is Katie Mingle. |
| 0:47.1 | Later on we'll be joined by Katie's mom Pam to get some of the best advice out there, |
| 0:52.3 | mom advice. And Pam isn't just Katie's mom, she also |
| 0:56.1 | happens to be a historical romance writer. We heard about Pam's work through an amazing |
| 1:01.5 | Twitter thread Katie published a few months ago. |
| 1:04.8 | In short, what Katie shared was that her mom started writing romance novels a few years ago. |
| 1:09.2 | She used to be a fifth grade teacher, and when she retired, she decided that she wanted to write. |
| 1:14.0 | Katie at first was really embarrassed by this. |
| 1:16.6 | She found romance to be a silly genre, but Katie then says, quote, I had the whole thing |

| 1:28.0 | but the Fabio novels are not even the tip of the iceberg of what this genre has to offer. |
| 1:34.0 | Katie then goes on to share that her mom Pam was feeling discouraged |
| 1:38.0 | because Pam wasn't finding the readership that she wanted |
| 1:40.6 | and Katie was asking for encouragement for her mom to keep on writing. |
| 1:45.0 | I was inspired by that Twitter thread to pick up one of Pam's books and she's fantastic. |
| 1:50.0 | Today we'll see if we can help convince Pam to keep writing and we'll expect you all to vote as to who the cuter mother-daughter pair is, |
