No Images? Click here Our word of the day comes from Merriam-Webster this week: It is "transpicuous." The new "Serial" podcast is even better than the originalBefore a single episode was released, “S-Town” earned the Apple podcast chart’s top spot, doing so on the back of just a short teaser — and its association with the mega hit true-crime podcast “Serial.” If you want to know more about the show, check out our interview with the creators. If you don't want any spoilers, just head to your favorite podcast app stat and get ready to binge-listen. Ferrante Fever is spreading. And you should probably hop on board before the author's four-part series -- set in Naples in the 1970s, about friendship, political tumult and how our memories of childhood shift as we age -- hits HBO. Sara Berman kept her closet in perfect order ― shoes lined up in an unerring row, crisply ironed white shirts stacked one atop the other, her signature bottle of Chanel 19 perched within easy grasp. Her children and grandchildren would gaze into the modest, meticulously organized niche reverently, as if staring at a work of art. Still, they never actually imagined their mom or grandma’s closet would one day, quite literally, find its way into The Metropolitan Museum of Art. But it did. When Mindy Kaling’s show “The Mindy Project” premiered in 2012, few would have accused it of having an after-school special vibe. Her character, a Manhattan OB/GYN with a romantic comedy addiction and an endless parade of hot (and white) boyfriends, had no concerns outside of getting introduced to NBA players at clubs and running into her ex at a friend’s Thanksgiving. But over the course of five seasons, a move to Hulu, and myriad exclamations of “exsqueeze me??”, the picture has changed. Anyone who’s stepped into crafting circles on the internet knows embroidery is beyond cool — but did you know that simple fabric and thread can be elevated to high art? Our thread obsession has led us to feminist embroidered artwork, quippy catchphrases, and even lady-power takes on Arthur memes — and now we’ve compiled the eye-catching work of 14 artists from all over the world to admire and support.
