It's Wimbledon time again, which always puts us in a nostalgic place. Alicia has the three divorces of Chris Evert, but also how Evert found her way to herself after a lifetime of working it out. Then Stacie matches Wimbledon and Pride Month with the outstanding journey of Martina Navratilova and the trio of "galimony" suits she's endured.

10 Trashy Royals: The Ladies of Elizabeth I, Part Two Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

If it isn't clear by now, Alicia will never get enough of the trashy behavior of the Court of Queen Elizabeth I. Oh, the trash and the scandal!

This week, we check in with pony boy/puppy boy Robert Dudley, late of The Original Staircase Murder fame, and his other lovers, Douglas Sheffield (who is not a man) and Lettice Knollys (who is not a lettuce). These Tudors get themselves into all kinds of knots, all under the watchful eye of Bessie I. You think things are weird with your ex? Just you wait.

S10E10: Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap | Truman Capote's La Cote Basque, 1965 & Celebrity Lawyer Marvin Mitchelson Jun 13, 2021

Show notes

Some unexpected issues mean you get a couple of Patreon faves! First up, Alicia has Truman Capote's dirtiest deed: the publication of La Cote Basque, 1965, the short story in which he knifed every single one of his "swans," betraying and humiliating some of the most important figures in his coveted high-society circle. Speaking of cautionary tales, Stacie has the high flying life and times of celebrity divorce lawyer Marvin Mitchelson, who pioneered the concept of palimony and never missed a chance to promote himself in the press.

S10E8: My Favorite Things | The Mysterious Death of Thelma Todd & Warren G. Harding, Our Most Appropriately Named President Jun 02, 2021

Show notes

As we get our TDHQ2 studio dialed in, we're bringing you a few of our favorite things! First up, Alicia has the true crime tale of "The Ice Cream Blonde" and "Hot Toddy," actress and businesswoman Thelma Todd. Her mysterious 1935 death put a harsh light on some of Hollywood's mobsters and shakers.

Then Stacie has a political sex scandal so amazing that it took almost a century for the full contours to be revealed. Warren G. Harding wasn't just America's 29th president; he was also an inveterate skirt chaser and, thankfully, a prolific and wide open letter writer. He may also have had a goofy name for his manly appendage.

08 Trashy Royals: Lady Jane Grey, The Nine Days' Queen May 30, 2021

Show notes

Hello friends! We're having a slight schedule change this week and bringing you Trashy Royals today, and our normally scheduled Trashy Divorces episode on Wednesday*. This week, Alicia has the incredible story of Lady Jane Grey, England's Nine Days' Queen, who got caught in the succession rigmarole that characterized the decade between Henry VIII's death in 1547 and the ascension of Elizabeth I in 1558. This one features sickly King Edward VI, future Queen "Bloody" Mary I, and a host of political machinations that can only come from the gangland-style family intrigue we've come to know and love in the Court of the Tudors.

We'll be back Wednesday with your regularly scheduled Trashy Divorces, and then back to the usual release schedule from there.

*As you'll hear in the intro, we're mid-move and still working on sound treating our new recording room. In the interest of audio quality, we thought something recorded at the old space would be a nicer listen.
