In the latest episode of our podcast, TV writer Kristin Newman (How I Met Your Mother, That 70`s Show, Only Murders in the Building) shares two very different trips to Argentina. The first, a two-month stint in which she attempted to live like a local, fell in love, and decided to commit the next decade of her life to travel instead of marriage and babies (the theme of her memoir What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding). Eighteen years later, she returned to Argentina to shoot a TV show based on her memoir, this time with her family in tow.
