This week, we revisit the "happiest divorced couple in the world", the no-longer-prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
On the occasion of what would have been her 111th birthday, today we revisit Alicia's 2020 story of the incredible life of Hollywood icon Hedy Lamarr. Yes, she was an outstanding and hugely popular actress, but the lesser known part of the story is that Hedy Lamarr was a passionate and gifted inventor. She and composer and pianist George Antheil developed and patented a way to encrypt messages during WWII using different frequencies - an early step on the path to today's technologies like GPS and wi-fi. She was also married six times - lucky us.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Chris Hansen became a household name by confronting child predators who'd been lured out of hiding by undercover officers posing as children online on Dateline NBC's To Catch a Predator. But it was his choices in his personal life that sent him careening off into other directions - dumped by NBC, marriage on the rocks, and even sporting a mugshot or two to his name.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

It was only a matter of time before Alicia would turn her spreadsheet-making skills to the life and times of musician John Mayer. The list of his relationships - real and perhaps imagined - is long enough that one would be forgiven for wondering whether there are any prominent women left for him to date. Fair warning, this one is a little explicit.PromoDipsea. Get a 30-day free trial to all the steamy audio stories you can handle at dipseastories.com/trashy.Advertise with us!

Is it mandatory for this podcast to have the annoying chit-chat/disruptive commentary? Fleetwood Mac has an interesting history, but the steady "Oh, wow" comments are annoying AF.

Does anyone notice how sometimes the recording seems like it it rewinds and them starts again? What's going on here?
does anyone notice how the episodes will go back and forth with the recordings?
It appears this podcast is entirely plagiarized from early articles...at least say it's not your work because it's word for word, not your words.
nope. nope. he's gon kill the gma. not a good choice. Stacey, I'm with ya!
omg I'm dying over this ep. 😅
laughed so hard, I cried!
One of the best so far. Informative, silly, snarky.
Ironically while channel surfing, in the last couple of weeks, I stumbled upon Lethal Weapon and ended up watching the movie. I just finished listening to this episode and I feel dirty for having financially supported so much hatred in our world. Off to the showers
I love this podcast!!
I enjoy every podcast. Everyone of them thus far are great!!
I love this podcast ! You two are funny , informative .
Love, love, love Trashy Royals. Please dig into the Mary Queen of Scots side of the story. It's incredibly intriguing.
a lot of salty men here. Never once noticed any "man hating". They're just telling it like it is. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
why do they keep saying tldr- not sure it is being used correctly.
I love Dominick Dunne, and I can't wait for this podcast. He is one of my favorite writers.
omg, the one host is always CRYING and it's so cheesy. She probably gets all choked up over Hallmark card commercials. Someone get her some mood stabilizers.
Before anyone flips out on me, let me just say that I've been a very loyal Stevie fan since 1980. Pretty much worshipped her. In my History of Rock Music, I chose her for inspiration. However; when I listened to Ken Caillat's audiobook, "Making Rumors" I was heartbroken to learn that she told him she was putting a spell on his beloved dog and it subsequently died because she was pissed at Ken at the time.My hope is that she just said it in a drug-fueled moment. My dog got me through the roughest time in my life, and I can truthfully say, if not for her love and loyalty, I would not be alive today. So, it's fair to say that I'm an animal lover, especially dogs. Her shine has darkened a bit for me since then. Love you both, love the show! Love and light 💛...Lisa
yall left so much of what jason did to bethenny out of this podcast.
