In this week’s Spread, the category is...bodies! @Mollyyoung and @judithnewman and @Carina_Chocano on EmRata’s rebrand; @tressie on Sinema’s shoulders; plus my own exasperated take on Spencer’s leading bod. thespread.media/p/tall-girl-…

In a wet & wild Spread: Had your fill of Katie Couric? @rtraister's masterpiece profile will prove you wrong. Haven't plumbed the depths of Laura Ashley lately? @amandafortini's in the house! Got a thing for Rebecca Hall? Regardless, @AlexKleeman delivers. thespread.media/p/splish-spl…

This Fallen Angel podcast by favorites @vanessagrigor and @JustineHarman is just great in every way. Both episodes have made me laugh, cry, and gag—and the production is so un-annoying (unlike so many pods). Ready for 3 and beyond!
