Significant Others
Did you know that the novel "Lolita" would not exist if Vladimir Nabokov’s wife hadn’t stopped her husband from burning the manuscript? Or that Gandhi learned his legendary method of passive resistance from his wife? Or that the person responsible for Maya Angelou’s genre-defining memoir was her good friend James Baldwin? Significant Others is a narrated, nonfiction podcast about folks just beyond the spotlight of history. Each episode tells the story of a talented, difficult and little-known individual who altered the destiny of their better-known partner, child, sibling, or friend, and impacted the world they left behind. Narrated and written by Liza Powel O’Brien and featuring the voices of Megan Mullally, Nick Offerman, Jameela Jamil, Rita Wilson, Timothy Olyphant, Lisa Kudrow and many more.

A podcast with female voice and her spouse supporting her inspirations and ideas.
Interesting biographies but biased interviews

Really interesting perspective on significant others - she’s clearly trying to give a balanced thought provoking non political perspective in her biographies; however she can’t contain her wokeness in her subsequent interviews (to impress/fit in with the likeminded,) which detracts from the whole podcast. I get the feeling she surrounds herself with only likeminded thinkers, so probably doesn’t realize she’s even doing it.
Wow!

What a find! The storytelling is superb. I had seen Linda’s interview on Conan’s podcast, and although it piqued my interest, I was reluctant to check the podcast out. Thinking it was going to be a sort of radio plays, which I personally find boring. Not at all, curious people and history buffs are going to love this. The podcasts are very well structured and the guest actors playing the characters add a lot of dynamism to Linda’s almost journalistic telling of the stories. It delves deep into very interesting people and shines a light on the human story behind the legends. Highly recommended.
I love this podcast…
