Show notes

Before you see Nathan Fielder's new Elizabeth Holmes documentary…

In this weeks re-release episode for SPOOKY SEASON, Tess covers Elizabeth Holmes, the CEO who tricked the entire world into thinking she could revolutionize health care. From her intense and highly motivated family that influenced her CEO mentality, to her early and traumatic life at Stanford, to dropping out and starting a company at 19, this is a wild ride of deceit, a fake voice, and a lot of turtleneck talk. Hopefully you are not squish with the talk of blood...

Girls Who Sleuth: The Nellie Bly Story Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Back to School Month all month long!

Today we cover Nellie Bly: the original girl who sleuthed. After forcing her way into the male dominated world of journalism, Nellie became famous for going undercover inside a notorious New York insane asylum, where she exposed the horrific treatment of its female patients. But she didn’t stop there. She interviewed a serial killer, traveled through Mexico, reported from the front lines of World War I, and raced around the entire world in just 72 days. This is the story of the fearless, complicated and wildly ambitious woman who changed investigative journalism forever, and proved that women didn’t belong on the sidelines of history. They belonged on the front page.

Created and produced by Tess Bellomo and Claire Donald.

(SNEAK PEEK) Marilyn Monroe: The Final Chapter, The Kennedys & The Conspiracies Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

In the final chapter of Marilyn Month, we’re covering the last years of Marilyn Monroe’s life and the mystery that still surrounds her death more than 60 years later. From her divorce from Arthur Miller and buying a home of her own, to her rumored relationships with the Kennedys and the infamous “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” performance at Madison Square Garden.

We’re also getting into Marilyn’s final photo shoots, her last days, and what we know about the night she died. Then, we’re breaking down the conspiracy theories that have followed her death for decades: the Kennedys, the conflicting timelines, the unanswered questions, and what we actually believe happened.

Dolly Parton is An Angel on Earth Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

Today we're taking a deep dive into the life of the one and only Dolly Parton - the queen of rhinestones, wigs, and big hair. We start in the Great Smokey Mountains of East Tennessee where Dolly grew up, singing and playing music from an early age. We find out how Dolly got her big break in Nashville, and how she met her very secretive husband of 57 years, Carl Dean. We break down Dolly's classic looks and phrases and her extensive philanthropy work including the Imagination Library and donating $1 million to COVID19 research. And because we can't help ourselves, we do a line reading from the infamous Dolly Parton, Barbara Walters interview. This is DOLLY PARTON!
