Customer Reviews
Brilliant
A deep dive into the life of an iconic figure of the 20th century, masterfully spun and woven into a captivating story. Really like the way Alicia encourages listeners to discover and reinvent themselves the way DD does- well done for shining a light on us!
Something special
The host of this podcast, Alicia, has a fantastic way of telling stories and I for one am so excited by this podcast that I have no words! She introduced me to the world of Dominick Dunne in another podcast she does, with her wife Stacie, called Trashy Divorces and to be doing a podcast all about him is a wonderful idea and I love it!
