    Introducing TrendVETTERS with Jami Rice

    Check out TrendVETTERS, a podcast and YouTube series where I, Jami Rice, pull viral trends from TikTok and the internet, then go down the research rabbit hole so you don't have to. I spill the tea on all the latest beauty, health and fashion trends, share my experience with trends, and lay out all the details to help you decide whether you should hop on to these trends. From Hollywood’s latest skinny injection, Ozempic, to the latest makeup hacks, cosmetic procedures, and fashion dupes, I dish on all of it with relatable anecdotes, along with a little sarcasm and side-eye sprinkled in.

    In this episode, I share our first hot topic - Oh! Oh! Oh! Ozempic. Visit apple.co/trendvetters to subscribe so you don’t miss new episodes!

    “Time For Change” | S2 E6

    “Time For Change” | S2 E6

    Tara Lee had the opportunity to quietly do her prison time and follow through on the court’s orders, but she just couldn’t do it. Tara began making statements that she was innocent; she didn’t complete the victim impact statement recordings as ordered by the court; and she began filing appeals to have her conviction vacated, all of which kept her firmly in the Detroit headlines. 

    So, where does Tara’s case stand now? Have Tara’s victims been able to move on since her incarceration? Is there anything people who are looking to adopt can do to protect themselves from falling victim to predators like Tara? What even drives someone to behave the way Tara did?

Great show

So glad I found this show. Keep it up!

Interesting story BORING host

Subject is everything couldn’t get past the first episode on 1.5x. I am sure this host has improved since she started as evidenced by the additional podcasts and topics but could not handle how terrible the storytelling was, unclear facts to fit narrative, and terrible cringey ads.

“hey criminal if you are listening check out better help… it just might help!”

Cringey. Yuck.

Don’t waste your time

Awful. Constantly rehashing the same information each episode with very little new or relevant content. The 5++ minutes of commercials in the middle are annoying and overkill. I know you need to make money but seriously that is just greed.
