Trashy Divorces

Think you grew up with family dysfunction? Wait till you hear Alicia's story today, about writer and TV personality Victoria Gotti. As the daughter of Gambino crime family Mafia boss John Gotti, her childhood was anything but normal, and her adulthood - with an ongoing effort to steer clear of "the life" - hasn't exactly been a walk in the park either. Victoria has been a lot of things in her life, just please don't call her a Mob Princess.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Newly minted Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser certainly couldn't have predicted the twists and turns his life and career would take when he burst onto movie screens in the 1990s. After battling injuries, the emotional scars from a sexual assault, and an acrimonious end to his marriage, suddenly, Brendan's lost decade or so came to a crashing halt with his acclaimed, and much awarded, role in 2022's The Whale. Stacie has this shining reminder that sometimes good guys do finish first.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Bringing us back for our Season 18 kickoff, Alicia has the story of screen legend - and original Bond Boy - Sean Connery! While he had just one divorce, he was kind enough to gift us decades of questionable commentary about the appropriate treatment of women, as well as engage in some potential tax shenanigans in Spain. When it comes to Season 18 premieres, "There can be only one!" (That's a Highlander joke, if you haven't seen the 1986 classic recently.)Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Everybody has had them. Everybody can relate to them. And now it's time to laugh at them on BAD DATES, a hilarious new comedy podcast hosted by Jameela Jamil.

As we close out another season, Alicia wanted to update us all on a group of past profilees: the Brown family from TV's Sister Wives reality show. Where Kody Brown once had four wives, he's down to just one - but there's reason to believe that monogamy isn't suiting him.We are off next week to get set for Season 18!

The Brady Bunch offered the vast middle of America a place of quirky, family-oriented respite in a time of enormous change and social conflict. Real-life Brady matriarch Florence Henderson, beloved as "America's Mom" for the rest of her life, was as changed by the times as anyone. She'd grown up poor, married young, and spent much of the 1950s and '60s trying to balance a thriving career in entertainment with the demands of a growing family, amidst the backdrop of Women's Liberation, the pill, and the Sexual Revolution. Alicia has the goods on one of our era's most adored performers.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?
