This week, we’re talking Thingies with Jo Piazza, author of [The Sicilian Inheritance] (https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-sicilian-inheritance-jo-piazza/20266161?ean=9780593474167) —exactly the escapist, immersive book we want at this very moment—and [its companion true-crime podcast] (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sicilian-inheritance/id1735578176) …because this woman is one of the most ambitious storytellers you’ve ever encountered, ok? Also: We raise a case for cold-calling your friends, expectations free.
Jo’s thingies include trad wives (or maybe that’s a Claire Thingie?), [Oak Essentials moisture rich balm] (https://rstyle.me/+A03PYGIbt16BG9jzNEIphg) (s/o to [the cleansing balm] (https://rstyle.me/+A03PYGIbt16BG9jzNEIphg) also!), [Freda Salvador shoes] (https://rstyle.me/+-xKUAZCx_k1vpJM2tP4rbQ) and [the Jada ballet flats] (https://rstyle.me/+F60_hDa44voMUxjmNOywRA) in particular, [The Other Two on Max] (https://www.max.com/shows/other-two/f88636df-65d2-4cf4-94d0-3c098b971a16) (see also: [The State] (https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/the-state/?searchReferral=desktop-web&source=google-organic&ftag=PPM-23-10bfh8c) , [Party Down] (https://www.hulu.com/series/dabfcfd9-93b3-4f54-a63d-dc62050a0015) , and [Girls 5Eva] (https://www.netflix.com/title/81630704?source=35) ), the podcast [Time Capsule: The Silver Chain] (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/time-capsule-the-silver-chain/id1730602862) .
