This week, Greta is joined by host of City Cast Chicago Jacoby Cochran and WBEZ reporter Araceli Gómez-Aldana. We get into the newly announced sequel to Freaky Friday and whether Martha Stewart’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover is really breaking down barriers. Plus, we learn all about Jacoby’s multi-step skincare routine!

Then, NPR host-at-large Elise Hu tells us about her new book Flawless: Lessons in Looks and Culture from the K-Beauty Capital. Elise spent nearly four years as the NPR bureau chief in Seoul. Flawless is about how South Korea is a leading influencer of beauty standards and trends worldwide, from multi-step skincare routines to lipstick colors to plastic surgery. Her book is heavily-reported, but it also offers up Elise’s own reflections on the intense pressure around women’s appearances and how she wants her own daughters to think about beauty.
