Push-Up Contest

Avery Trufelman· Host0:00

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 gonna 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 3:00 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 in fashion to develop new episodes and ideas, including a story about bras and how they work, and whether or not we need them, but oof, 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 Push-Up Contest by Zoe Kurland, 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.
