In subsequent episodes, Megan speaks with a woman named Abby, a Korean adoptee who just got married and wants to have a baby вЂ“ but not before she knows more about herself. Together, the two dissect why Jessica has put off even getting her learnerвЂ™s permit for so long and why sheвЂ™s choosing to do it now.

In the first episode, she somehow intertwines Los AngelenosвЂ™ love for basketball into the story of Jessica Pilot, who has been putting off learning to drive for eight years. Every episode of her вЂњSnoozeвЂќ podcast is an engaging soundscape honing in on one personвЂ™s inspirational breakthrough. And she tells us that while вЂњSnoozeвЂќ is for so many people, itвЂ™s also for her, because the thing that sheвЂ™s been putting off is getting back in front of the microphone.Д«ut she is here, and she is utterly brilliant. In the first minutes of вЂњSnooze,вЂќ she shares the audio of an interview she did after she ended the show, her voice flat and lifeless, so different from the woman we are listening to now.

She had achieved everything she wanted with her massively successful podcast, but she found herself entirely burnt out. She tells us her story: once the host of the hit podcast вЂњMillennial,вЂќ which she hosted and produced from 2014 to 2017 (originally from her bedroom and then with Radiotopia), MeganвЂ™s passion project began to suck the passion out of her. Just a handful of episodes have been released so far, each wavering around the 40-minute mark.ДЇrom the start of the first episode, Megan is achingly authentic and immediately compelling. Literally a brand new podcast from the LAist, the вЂњSnoozeвЂќ podcast debuted its first episode at the start of May. Welcoming the вЂWILDвЂ™ parts of life: the LAist podcast that redefined hope after 2020 gave us its worst
