The daughter Steve Jobs first shunned, then awkwardly embraced, has no animosity toward the icon, but she does have a beautiful story about family shame and secrets, told on the podcast “Family Secrets” and parsed this episode by Gina Grad. Teresa Strasser comes to the podcast table with this week’s “The Ringer, NBA Show,” because there is no detail too obscure for her when it comes to “The Last Dance,” and when Jason Hehir shows up to spill the Gatorade, it’s on like MJ’s moustache. This week’s podcast about podcasts opens your ears to the best shows out there, with clips and conversations.

This week, Gina Grad finally gets to discuss an important theory about HBO’s “The Sopranos” with a cast member. And from TV to classic movies, TCM has released its first podcast and “The Plot Thickens,” which explores the unbelievable life of director Peter Bogdanovich, who was in a relationship with Playboy centerfold Dorothy Stratten when she was murdered. It’s a thick plot, indeed, and one of Teresa Strasser’s favorite new podcasts. Both shows are broken down with clips and opinions on this week’s podcast about podcasts.
