    🎧 New beginnings in Tokyo

    Two days since Daddy and I got back to Tokyo and he told me he’s a spy. I'm walking around in a daze, when here comes the Obon Festival parade. ▶️ I had fun putting this episode together. I incorporated some background audio pieces to enhance the feel and sound of my experience. Hope you enjoy it. This is a voiceover of a written post for "In This Life" on Substack.

    🎧 Madhu was my best friend in India

    My family moved from Spain to India when I was eight years old. I share my experience of that move and about my unique friendship with our driver's daughter, Madhu. Note: all our family albums burned in a fire years later, so we have not photos from this time. The photo above is not of Madhu, but represents her beautifully. In This Life Podcast occasionally features voiceovers of my written posts on Substack. This episode is one of them.

    🎧 "It was altogether a really exciting experience"

    My mother Lillian McCloy is the author of the highly-rated memoir Six Car Lengths Behind an Elephant: Undercover and Overwhelmed as a CIA Wife and Mother. I edited the book, which John le Carré describes as “a charming and unusual portrait of the secret life.” In our interview, I asked my then 95-year-old mother some readers’ questions about her life as the wife of an undercover CIA officer. I also read a story from her memoir titled “The Vigil," about an experience we shared when I was a senior in high school and we were living in Caracas, Venezuela.
