​Join M.M.LaFleur for a live recording of The Longest Shortest Time — a podcast about parenthood and reproductive health named one of TIME's 100 Best Podcasts of All Time — hosted right in our Bryant Park Showroom.

​In 2017, host Hillary Frank invited comedian Negin Farsad onto the show to tackle the unanswerable questions from children of listeners. Now that Negin is a mother herself, she returns — this time with her own daughter's questions to grapple with, and thoughts on finding humor when life feels anything but funny. Expect a conversation that goes from absurd to profound and back again, with plenty of laughter in between.

​What to expect:

• ​A front-row seat for the live recording — you'll hear the interview happen in real time, before it hits your feed

• ​One-on-one styling with the M.M. team in our Bryant Park Showroom, with the full collection available to shop

• ​Refreshments, networking, and conversation that continues well after the mics go off

​About The Longest Shortest Time

​Hillary Frank started The Longest Shortest Time in 2010 after a rough childbirth and recovery, as a way to feel less alone. Over the years, she has told surprising stories about all aspects of parenthood and reproductive health, including a toddler who refuses to wear clothes for weeks on end, an OBGYN whose mother blows up her postpartum plans, becoming a single dad while trans, and societal pressure to have a baby (or two). When the show began, it ushered in a new kind of edgy but heartfelt storytelling about parenthood and has since won some of the biggest awards in podcasting. Its signature event, Speed Dating for Mom Friends, was featured in The New Yorker. For more than a decade, listeners have turned to the show during their most challenging parenting moments — but plenty of episodes feature people without kids, so you don’t have to be a parent to listen!
