This week on Landline, we’re heading back to the place you return to, even if it never fully felt like yours. For Inga, that’s Westport—where she went to high school, where her mom lives now, and where old habits still sneak in the side door.

This week on Landline, we’re handing the mic to the robots—or at least the prompts that feed them. We’re asking callers to share the weirdest, most unhinged, or oddly specific video prompt they’d feed into Veo (the new AI video model). Then we’ll generate it—and psychoanalyze them live.

She might be back from Africa—or she might be calling from a goat farm. Either way, Claire’s coming in hot. This week’s theme: Close Calls.
