147. Swimming with The Swans (Alicia’s Version) | Episode One, The B Block Feb 16, 2024

Show notes

In this continuing Alicia's Version working through the FX/Hulu series from Ryan Murphy, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, it is time to conquer the B Block of Episode One.

Included this week is that infamous Private Jet introduction, where Truman Capote upgrades his Swan Set, the coterie he has collected from early days - from Jennifer Jones and the Hollywood Swans through an introduction from David O. Selznick to his Park Avenue Upgrade, Babe Paley. Also, connecting a new term into the mix - Black Swan Event. It happens at the introduction of Babe and Truman in 1955, and the dinner party, interwoven between fact and fiction, including bits about the origin of the real feud with Ann Woodward, and how it all connects to Claus von Bulow.

Feuds always start from somewhere. Is Truman really going back into 1955 writing in 1975? These mysteries and more, coming as Alicia works through unpacking this series.

143. Six Degrees of Robert Evans | The Kid and The Cotton Club Murder Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

This week in our continuing journey of the Six Degrees of Robert Evans, we take The Kid into the fabulous 1980s, which weren’t quite so fabulous at all for him. Busted for a cocaine possession, and his reputation ruined, Evans is then fueled with an obsession of bringing The Cotton Club to the screen. That is all before the murder of Roy Radin in 1983, which connects into it all, although it will take almost a decade to see justice for that crime, and Robert’s name to be cleared.

Listen Now: Even The Royals Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

Admit it: you’re obsessed with royal families – watching them, gossiping about them, wanting to be them. It’s the stuff of fantasy. But for real life royals, the crown jewels can be more like shiny handcuffs. There are expectations and rules – and if you break them, the consequences are big, and very public. And no, we’re not just talking about Harry and Meghan. There are royal families and wild royal tales from around the world and throughout history that you have never heard before. From Wondery comes a new podcast called Even the Royals that will take you inside the cloistered world of royal families, past and present, where wealth and status often come at the expense of your freedom – and maybe even your life. This is just a preview of Even the Royals. Listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts, or at Wondery.fm/eventheroyals_doneanddunne.
