    The Donner Party, Cannibalism is Scary.

    In our RE-RELEASE, Claire takes us to a journey out West with the infamous Donner Party. Due to unfortunate mishaps and delays, what started as a hopeful journey on the Oregon Trail quickly turns into a story of starvation, murder and, you know it, Canniblism. Grab your wagon and oxen and join us! This is The Donner Party.

    Lisa Frank

    Lisa Frank

    In this week's episode, Tess takes us through the DARK history of Lisa Frank which in fact, was absolutely not just kittens, rainbows, glitter and unicorns. The opposite...
    We go through her privileged upbringing, successful career in her early 20s, into what became the monster that was Lisa Frank Inc. From her toxic work environment, to her disastrous and problematic husband who started having an affair with his drug fueled VP, to all the trials that ensued after the company went to hell and back, this is a story for every 90s kid that will make your head spin!

We got to ask Sarah all about the experience and legacy of Lilith Fair, challenges she has faced in the music industry, what she is working on now, and re-visiting her Fumbling Towards Ecstasy Album for a BRAND new tour 30 years later. She was an absolute delight and we are more than honored we got to meet her!

Simply the best

Ladies, you two are the best. I love this podcast! I am a super fan of Bravo shows and love the way you two tie everything back to Bravo lol! Highly recommend your podcast to everyone!

Sweeteaaa ,

Like, NO.

Couldn’t get through one episode with the valley girl voices of the hosts. The topic was serious but they kept laughing and making jokes. Their valley girl voices are so painful and sound uneducated. Disappointed.

EmEmEm! ,

Can’t stop recommending this podcast!

Absolutely love this podcast! Juicy fun deep dives into topics all across the board. Perfection!
