Hi, it's Ashley here. This week I have a re-release show for you, but it's one, I think, the vast

majority of you haven't heard. It came out in 2013 when I've probably been doing the show for about

As always, I like to have people who have slightly different

takes on things. So for those of you who haven't heard it, I really hope you'll enjoy it. And

for the others, maybe you'll give it another spin. And there are so many shows in the

archives that I would love it if more people could hear. So don't forget to check out some of

discussing her clothes in any article she's featured in, even in Vogue. Friedman says it's as

if Sandberg thinks she'll come across as superficial if she discusses her appearance
