The Greek Gods were deadly serious and wildly ridiculous. In this week's episode, Maia attempts to straighten out the wonky family tree of some of the most famous gods from ancient Greece. Vengeful, spirited, unpredictable, murderous, and more than a little flirtatious. The Pantheon of Greek Gods is an unlimited source of wild stories. But if you are looking for a truly wild time, one god reigns supreme. Grab a drink with us, courtesy of Dionysus, and dive into the god of wine and madness. This week on Well, I Laughed!

Love looks different for everyone, and for some men and women it can be a bit hairy. This week, Maia shares the fascinating history of "bearded ladies". Women born with an unusually large amount of facial and body hair - specifically Annie Jones (the inspiration for The Greatest Showman's Lettie Lutz) and Percilla Bejano. They captivated audiences while touring the country in traveling circuses and these women often found fame and love thanks to the... Whiskers on Women. This week, on Well, I Laughed!

But why was she so publicly humiliated while Clinton continued to enjoy public support?

We all love a little gossip. And these two ladies made sure everyone knew about it. These women were here for the drama, maybe even more than they were here for the truth. In an era where women were defined by the men in their lives, Hedda Hopper and Elda Furry rose by cutting others down. Complicated, conservative, prying, and oh so much fun. This week, meet the original Queens of Mean!

Well behaved women rarely make history. In the case of Alice Roosevelt, they do make scandalous headlines. Alice’s life was marked early by tragedy but defined by her actions and in her own words. Born to a powerful family, Alice chose a life that fit her above all else. In the process she caused controversy and defied expectations. An advocate for style and an ally to many, her life was a series of Crowded Hours.
