Hey there, it's Avery here. Okay, a little housekeeping. I'm putting the final edits on my book,

and I'm working on the episodes for 2026. There's going to be one a month this year, and I cannot

wait to share them. I actually just got back from China, so I'm writing this at 3 in the morning.

I'm so jet-lagged, but wait until you hear the story that I found there. I'm very excited for that

one. I'm also working with some of my favorite minds and fashion to develop new episodes and

ideas, including a story about bras and how they work and whether or not we need them, but

whof, I need a little more time to get it all together. So I wanted to share a different podcast that I really like.

This is also a story about bras, but with a very different perspective.

This is a piece from Signal Hill, which is an audio magazine.

It's such a smart concept.

They publish all kinds of audio documentaries from all different contributors, long form reported work, short essays, reviews, poems, and it's packaged together in issues that you can subscribe to. But I particularly loved this dispatch from their last issue. It's called Pushup Contest by Zoe Curland.

And it's about how her dad designed a bra that changed the world.

It's a delight.

I'll have that for you after this little break.

Hey, it's Robin here from PRX.

And I want to tell you about a brand new show in the Radiotopia family,

an exciting partnership with our friends at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and fellow indie network talkhouse.

It's called Music Makes Us, and it's hosted by cultural icon, the legendary Kathleen Hanna,

the frontwoman of Bikini Kill and La Tigra.

She sits down with revolutionary musicians like Shaka Khan, Olivia Rodrigo, and Haley Williams of Paramore

to speak about the things artists really want to talk about. Perfect lyrics, unforgettable shows,

treasured artifacts, and even snacks.
