Acerca de esta escucha
This daring historical drama imagines what would have happened if real-life World War II Allied operatives Julia Child and Josephine Baker had teamed up in their fight to take down the Nazis.
When our story begins, Julia Child is an eager but inexperienced codebreaker longing to prove herself in the male-dominated world of intelligence, and Josephine Baker is, well, Josephine Baker—a world-famous entertainer who is now leading a double life as a spy for the French Resistance.
When a golden opportunity arises to infiltrate a high-stakes Nazi gala in Vichy France, Julia must put aside her by-the-book mentality to assist her unorthodox new partner. What begins as a rookie assignment becomes a dangerous game of deception and intrigue, thrusting the duo into the dark underworld of collaborators and double agents.
Blending rich historical details with crackling dialogue, The Pearl and the Onion is an unmissable portrait of courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable spirit of resistance in the face of evil. Its inspiring heroes, thrilling missions, and immersive soundscapes will transport you to the heart of the international struggle for freedom in 1940s Europe, painting a vital portrait of how the iconic chef and the international entertainer risked everything in service of a better world. Starring Anna Chlumsky and Jasmine Cephas Jones. Directed by Kimberly Senior.

Yasmin’s career is finally taking off. After years of fighting for visibility in the theater, the British-Pakistani actress lands the eponymous role of Mrs. Bibi—the ultimate aunty-ji—in a hit primetime sitcom.

Historia
Humpback whales are among the most intelligent animals on Earth. Some scientists believe they might even surpass humans in self-awareness, empathy, and communication skills. In this episode, we swim with a whale as he teams up with other humpbacks to use bubbles to catch fish, rescues a sea lion, and puts his own spin on melodies sung by whales across the Pacific Ocean. This is the world in its natural state, defined by seasons, routines, and cycles. By the time this whale is ready to close one eye and go to sleep, you will be too.

Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions.

Dr. Margaret Richter has it all. She’s rich, thanks to her best-selling self-help books. She has a beautiful home in Cape Cod overlooking the beach. And she has a monthly book club that everyone is dying to get invited to. Literally. Because behind the crystal wine glasses, the fine linens and the catered hors d'oeuvres lies a tangled web of secrets, of deceit, of murder. No member of the book club is innocent—and many are guilty. And the person with the most to hide is Margaret Richter herself.

Worth the listen
The premise is interesting and most of the acting is good. Julia’s voice is a challenge to listen to for that long especially when she’s making privileged white woman mistakes. But I suppose that’s sort of the point.

Fanciful, but entertaining
Julia’s husband to be is played as stereotypically gay, though he was probably straight since they apparently went on to enjoy a long and happy marriage.
Segregation might have been enforced even abroad during World War Two in the armed forces. Not sure how that would have affected Josephine. The story is almost entirely fictional though.
