Even the Rich
Our lives can be crazy, but you can take a break from it all with Wondery’s new series, Even the Rich, where co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams pull back the curtain and chat about someone else’s craziness for a change. They tell stories about some of the greatest family dynasties in history, from the Murdochs to the Royals to the Carters (Jay-Z and Beyoncé, that is).

Rosie O'Donnell: In A League of Her Own | 283
Raised in a house that is nothing like the TV sitcom families she loves, Rosie O’Donnell has to grow up fast. She has to deal with an abusive father, and the heartbreak of losing her mom way too soon. But somehow, her grit, determination, and natural humor lands her on a comedy club stage when she’s just a teen. After polishing her act on the road, Rosie gains national attention on the 80s TV talent show, “Star Search.” And she’s off and running. After stealing scenes in “A League of Their Own,” “Sleepless in Seattle,” and “The Flintstones,” she revolutionizes daytime television with her own feel-good talk show and is dubbed “The Queen of Nice.” But never one afraid to speak her mind, Rosie goes on to voice her opinions on “The View,” which lands her in a very public battle with the current sitting President of the United States. Throughout her life, Rosie’s always tried to stick up for what she feels is right, including LGBTQ+ rights. Which is why she’s getting her flowers from us during Pride Month!You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Listen Now: Liberty Lost
Listen to Liberty Lost: In Evangelical homes across the United States, sex outside of marriage is a sin against God. So, when Abbi becomes pregnant at 16, her devout parents hide her away at the Liberty Godparent Home, a little-known facility for pregnant teens on the campus of Liberty University. The Home says it helps girls decide what comes next – whether that’s parenting their babies or placing them for adoption. But inside the facility, the girls hear a different message: God wants their babies to go to more “deserving” Christian couples. Some girls will find the strength to fight back. Others will have no choice but to give in. And some, like Abbi, will turn their grief into resistance – and take a stand against the system before more mothers lose their children to adoptions they never wanted. From Wondery, host and reporter T. J. Raphael tells a startling true story of young love, coercion, and defiance – and the dangerous resurgence of maternity homes in post-Roe America.Listen to Liberty Lost: Wondery.fm/LibertyLost_See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Elliot Page: Becoming | 282
Continuing our celebration of Pride Month, today we’ve got another fabulous queer icon for you. Oscar-nominated actor Elliot Page has crammed a whole lot of life into his 38 years. After gaining traction in Canada as an accomplished child actor, Elliot makes the leap into the American mainstream with critically acclaimed performances in movies like “Hard Candy,” “Juno,” and “Inception.” But behind all that splashy Hollywood success, Elliot is hiding a big secret. One that could potentially derail his career. But eventually, he makes a huge, brave leap and comes out as a trans. Even though this bold announcement of his identity is not met with open arms everywhere - he does becomes a hero and advocate for the trans community. Oh, and he’s still one hell of an actor.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Rich and Weekly: Lively’s Legal Win Over Baldoni, Patti LuPone vs. Audra McDonald, and the Not-So-Happy Beckham Bunch
Richies, we didn’t see this coming. Blake Lively just scored a huge court win. She and her former “It Ends with Us” director/co-star Justin Baldoni have been in a bitter legal battle since January. But just this week, a judge dismissed Justin’s multi-million dollar suit against Blake, husband Ryan Reynolds, and the New York Times. After we break down that legal decision, we’re filling you in on the (maybe one-sided) feud between Broadway icons Audra McDonald and Patti LuPone…and how that beef maybe got some airtime on Sunday’s Tony Awards. And speaking of feuds, we have the latest on the bad blood that’s allegedly boiling between members of the Beckham Bunch.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John Waters: The Pope of Trash | 280
Richies, for Pride Month we bring you a true hero to - and champion of - the queer community. A filmmaker who brings an oddball sensibility and counter-culture vibe to the mainstream. Director John Waters has been marching to the beat of his own drum since he was little boy, doing twisted puppet shows at birthday parties and drawing with black crayons. Born and raised in a Baltimore suburb, John knows early on that he’s different. And he embraces it. His early films like “Pink Flamingos” are so deliberately gross and funny that they earn him the nickname “The Pope of Trash.” But behind the shock value is a real artist. He eases his way into the mainstream flicks like “Polyester” and then “Hairspray.” John Waters’ lasting film legacy is to embrace and celebrate society’s weirdos.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.

Rich and Weekly: JLo and No Shows at American Music Awards, Miley on Her Sobriety, and Hugh Jackman’s Ex Speaks Out!
A lot of the time, award shows can be fun, exciting, star-studded events. And sometimes...they’re like this year’s American Music Awards. First off, tons of the A-list nominees didn’t even bother showing up. And then, for a couple of stars who did show up, things got weird onstage. Shaboozey gave his co-presenter Megan Moroney some serious side-eye that people are still talking about. After we dissect the AMAs, we have an update on Miley Cyrus. In a very revealing interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, she opens up about new music, sobriety, and the medical condition that makes singing a serious challenge. And to cap it all off, we have the latest on what Hugh Jackman’s ex is saying about his “betrayal.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tom Cruise: Risky Business | 279
Richies, just in time for ""Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning"" - the last installment of the MI franchise - we bring you one of the most bankable stars in the world, Tom Cruise. As a boy, he’s bullied because of his height, and faces learning difficulties at school. But that was then and this is now. Thanks to roles in “Risky Business,” “Top Gun,” “A Few Good Men,” and the money-printing “Mission: Impossible” franchise, Tom has become not only an enormous action star, but one of Hollywood’s most surefire leading men. And one of its most controversial. Who could forget the image of him jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch after falling for Katie Holmes? Or when the “War of the Worlds” star and public face of Scientology stirs the pot on “Today,"" criticizing Brooke Shields for using medication to treat postpartum depression. (A major no-no according to Tom’s church.) There’s no questioning Tom’s mega-star status - or his extremely polarizing views.You can follow Brooke and Aricia on socials at @brookesiffrinn and @ariciaskidmorewilliamss.
