JFK JR + CAROLYN BESSETTE

The ultimate in modern, understated, effortless New York chic - has anyone looked more stylish while arguing in public?
They were the prince and princess of 90s America, the ultimate *it* couple of the modern era, but things weren’t quite as picture perfect behind closed doors…

Join us as we discuss this fascinating and ultimately tragic pair - listen wherever you get your podcasts, link in bio ✨

Another ep of our mini series ✨The Way They Are✨ has dropped!
MERYL STREEP + MARTIN SHORT

Much like Kate Beckinsale’s extensive cosmetic work, half the joy of this pairing is the relentless denial of it. We of course simply trust our EYES and the chemistry between these two is undeniable!
We hope you too get a kick watching these two legends enjoy an unexpected new lease of love in the third act.

A truly delightful mini deep dive, available now wherever you get your podcasts - link in bio.✨

Another ep of our mini series ✨The Way They Are✨ has dropped!
MARY TODD & ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Before Jackie O, there was Mary T.* Not only did she live through the trauma of witnessing her husband's assasination, she also had to contend with old honest Abe maybe not being super forthcoming about his friendshup with one Joshua Speed... 👀

We take a mini deep dive into these two and their fascinating partnership, the rumours and scandal of which are still being debated today. This is OG goss.

Enjoy this theatrical treat, available wherever you get your podcasts - link in bio.✨

*which begs the question, if Jackie gets her own sunglasses shape named after her, how come flower crowns aren't associated with Mary? Something to consider.
