Janet vs The Halftime Show | Janet’s Other Legacy with Clover Hope | 104 Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Janet Jackson's infamous wardrobe malfunction might never be forgotten, but what about her legacy as a trail-blazing feminist? Janet cut a path for female pop performers controlling their own narrative. She was an advocate for women getting what they need in the bedroom before most people even knew the term “sex positive.” And she did it all while the press critiqued her every move, and her body, too. Culture writer Clover Hope joins Brooke and Aricia to set the record straight. Clover shares what it was like to meet Janet at a Manhattan sushi bar, her love for Poetic Justice, and her take on the aftermath of Janet’s Super Bowl halftime show.

Janet vs The Halftime Show | Control | 102 Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

On February 1st, 2004, Janet Jackson’s right breast was exposed to a live audience of over 144 million at the Super Bowl — for 9/16ths of a second. What should have been a fleeting moment of professional embarrassment became a national scandal. It was a story that had everything: a titillating costume change gone wrong, a powerful black woman who refused to grovel, and a squeaky-clean, young white upstart who was only too happy to align himself with power. Racism, sexism and misogyny collided to turn one of the greatest entertainers in the world into nothing more than a political scapegoat.

In the first episode of our special two-part series, we'll tell you the story of how one woman found a way to achieve the American dream — then had it all snatched away in an instant.

Kidnapping American Royalty: The Patty Hearst Story | The Psychology of Cults with Alexandra Stein | 100 Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

Patty Hearst would eventually put the SLA in her rearview mirror; she’d go on to have two kids and act in a string of John Waters films. But through the years, the debate has continued: was Patty really brainwashed, or did she voluntarily join the SLA? To help answer this question, Brooke and Aricia are joined by author and social scientist Alexandra Stein. Alexandra studies the psychological tactics cult leaders use to brainwash their subjects. She also has first hand experience with cults, having survived a decade in one. Alexandra will explain why it’s so hard to leave a cult and what can help people break free.

To learn more about her story, check out Alexandra’s memoir: http://www.alexandrastein.com/inside-out-a-memoir-of-entering-and-breaking-out-of-a-minneapolis-political-cult.html

And her latest book, Terror, Love and Brainwashing:

Kidnapping American Royalty: The Patty Hearst Story | Free Patty | 99 Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

Patty Hearst has just been arrested for the Hibernia Bank robbery, and the prosecution has a very solid case. First, they have photos of Patty robbing the joint. Second, they have tapes of her confessing to the crime. And third, America really, really hates a rich girl breaking bad.

But Patty’s new lawyer, F. Lee Bailey, thinks they can win this. They just need to take a risk and put Patty on the stand. If the jury hears her side, there’s no way they won’t acquit – and if they don’t … well, they’ll figure that out later.

Show notes

Kidnapping American Royalty: The Patty Hearst Story | Captive | 97 Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

Imagine if Paris Hilton was kidnapped back when she was just a teenager – and that nobody, not even the FBI, could find her. Now imagine that, ten weeks later, she finally reemerges – waving a gun and robbing a bank alongside the people who kidnapped her.

It sounds too far-fetched to be true, but a version of this story really did happen. Back in 1974, left-wing terrorists abducted nineteen-year-old heiress Patty Hearst, the granddaughter of media tycoon William Randolph Hearst. And two months later, Patty publicly joined their cause.

But was Patty a participant or a victim? Was she a teenage girl who did what she had to do to survive, or a rich young woman who loved the thrill of being on the other side?
