    Ivy Insights

    The Trashy Divorces podcast is an absolute gem in the world of podcasts. Hosted by Alicia and Stacie, this show takes a unique approach to exploring the biographies of pop culture icons through the lens of their messy divorces. What sets this podcast apart is the brilliant idea of presenting these stories without resorting to hitting below the belt or unnecessarily shaming the subjects (well, except for Mel Gibson). The hosts have a warm and caring energy that creates a comforting listening experience.

    One of the best aspects of The Trashy Divorces podcast is its genuine and informative episodes. The hosts put in a great deal of effort to research each story, resulting in well-researched and interesting tales of relationships in the celebrity world. They strike a perfect balance between providing straight facts and injecting their own opinions and insights, which keeps things engaging. The choice of topics and couples is also excellent, featuring a mix of familiar names and lesser-known figures.

    Another standout feature of this podcast is the chemistry between Alicia and Stacie. They complement each other perfectly - Alicia's enthusiasm and passion for history drive engaging narratives, while Stacie helps guide her back when she delves into rabbit holes. Their banter at the beginning of episodes is enjoyable, setting a light-hearted tone for what's to come.

    While it's difficult to find any major flaws with The Trashy Divorces podcast, one minor issue could be that some may find it repetitive after listening to multiple episodes. However, this doesn't take away from the overall quality and entertainment value provided by Alicia and Stacie.

    In conclusion, The Trashy Divorces podcast is an absolute delight to listen to. It offers a refreshing break from true crime podcasts with its unique focus on celebrity divorces presented in an entertaining yet informative manner. Alicia and Stacie are excellent storytellers who manage to keep listeners engaged throughout each episode. If you're looking for a podcast that combines history, pop culture, and a touch of trashiness, this is the perfect choice.

    In this week's exciting episode of our Wallis, Duchess of Windsor series, we change the focus to the Prince of Wales. With a complicated childhood without a whole lot of family love, you can see how it would be easy for David to be swayed by romance. He does this romance dance quite a lot – sometimes with suitable girls, sometimes not. In this episode, we will explore a few of David's first loves, including Marion Coke, Lady Sybil Cadogan, Marguerite Alibert, and Rosemary Leveson-Gower. No gal is going to ever be good enough for David at this time, at least according to his royal family. Also, there is a little blackmail and murder thrown into the mix too.

    Dahlinks - hold on to your hats for the story of Magda Gabor, the eldest and perhaps the most undercover of the Glamorous Gabor sisters. Magda, continuing the family tradition of being well-versed in the art of falling in love and getting married, also had some nasty breakups. But there's so much more to her story, from her World War II experiences working with the Hungarian Resistance against the Nazi occupiers, to being a significant part of the brains behind her mother's New York jewelry business. She may be lesser known than her sisters, but her story is every bit as fascinating.  Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

    The youngest of the Gabor sisters was Eva, and to say that Eva worked for the career that Zsa Zsa sauntered into would be about right. An earnest actor, Eva toiled in relative obscurity for a quarter of a century before landing the role that finally made her a household name: Lisa Douglas, a big-city wife whose husband decides to leave it all behind for the bliss of their very own Green Acres. Through it all, in typical Gabor fashion, Eva married and divorced and married again (and divorced again, and again) and branched out into entrepreneurial endeavors, including Eva Gabor Wigs.

    Jolie Gabor, mother of the famous sisters, grew up in Budapest, Hungary, just in time for the tumultuous 20th century to unfold. Her mother's family was in the jewelry business - put a pin in that - and as a girl, Jolie dreamed of a life in the theater. Her parents were having none of it, and forced her into a not overwhelmingly wanted marriage that almost immediately produced three daughters. But rather than give up on her acting dreams, she just transferred her drive for celebrity and notoriety onto those daughters. The rest, as they say, is history.

    Introducing The Glamorous Gabors!

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 12, 2025 6:45


    The Gabor sisters were some of the most iconic cultural figures in the second half of the 20th century, having arrived on our shores from Nazi-occupied Hungary, where they experienced loss and engaged in heroic resistance. Along with their mother, Jolie, sisters Eva, Zsa Zsa, and Magda, stormed the mid-century zeitgeist and lived through extremely complicated family dynamics, as well as complicated romantic entanglements - including, between them all - 23 marriages, 18 divorces, two widowhoods, and two annulments. They were allies and rivals, poly-linguists, artisans, and entrepreneurs. But mostly, they were women possessed of a drive to succeed and an eternal willingness to bend their stories to suit the moment at hand.  This month, Trashy Divorces is proud to present the lives and loves of The Glamorous Gabors, an eight-episode arc bringing these four amazing women into focus in the 21st century. The Glamorous Gabors was researched and written by Melanie Shawn, with our deep gratitude. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    It's funny to think that back in the 1980s, a leak of nude pictures could cause a headline-grabbing scandal, but that's exactly what happened to the first Black woman to ever wear the Miss America crown. Vanessa Williams, then 21, was roundly demonized in the press, and was subjected to intense public outrage for her supposed transgression. She was even forced to resign her crown, an overreaction that the pageant would apologize for decades later. Alicia has the whole sorry saga, and the powerful comeback story of one of the great talents in American entertainment – plus a couple of divorces!

Dr. Fritz Gebhardt took Vera Stretz's rejection badly, a gun was drawn, and when police arrived around 2:30 that morning, Fritz was dead and Vera refused to explain why she'd shot him.  Alicia has the full story from our Trashy Tabloids series on Patreon. Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Trashy Tabloids, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Melissa Gilbert took some strays from washed up emotional vampire Megyn Kelly over a Little House on the Prairie reboot and let's just say that America's Sweetheart was having none of it. Actress Isla Fisher ended 2024 with a note of gratitude as she navigates her post-divorce life from comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Biana Censori, partner or wife of antisemitic rapper Ye, let it all hang out at the Grammys the other night, before police escorted both of them away from the event. Is Jennifer Garner's boyfriend trying to bail?

Let's just say that Bobby experienced a troubled youth, which was certainly not helped by the high profile murders his family was subjected to, or his family's effectively unlimited money and prestige. After peering into RFK Jr's broken youth, Alicia brings us right up to the present day (at least, to the start of 2023) in the life of the notable womanizer and vaccine skeptic.
