    JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette: Inside the true, tragic love story

    This week, we’re diving into the complicated and tragic relationship that captivated the world. We trace how JFK Jr., a political heir turned media darling, met Carolyn, the cool, private Calvin Klein publicist who never wanted the spotlight she inherited. Their romance moved quickly, their wedding was secretive, and their marriage — as we explore — was far more strained than the public imagined. We get into the pressures: the paparazzi, the rumours of infidelity, and the growing distance between them. And then, of course, the night that changed everything: the 1999 plane crash that killed them both, and stunned the world. Plus, we break down the renewed fascination with the couple, from fashion TikTok’s obsession to the controversy surrounding Ryan Murphy’s latest TV portrayal, and why the Kennedy family isn’t thrilled.

    REWIND: Tyra Banks' long overdue reckoning

    In this episode from the archives, we reassess the legend that is Tyra Banks, who has resurfaced in the tabloids yet again thanks to a new Netflix special dissecting the America's Next Top Model era. From being a barrier-breaking model to creating one of the first reality television shows of our time, Tyra  has always seemed on top of her game. Until you take a closer look at her long history of problematic behaviour, and the way her shows have always schlepped racism, homophobia and body-shaming, and how she has long exploited those who work for her. In other words: she's messy, and has always been. 📚 For further reading:Tyra's Naomi Campbell InterviewTyra Has Never Yelled At A Girl Like ThisThe View's 2018 InterviewKim Stoltz's 2008 MTV Essay"ANTM Stripped Angelea Preston Of Her Crown.

    The Big Story: More Epstein files, less answers

    In this special bonus episode from The Big Story, alongside host Caryn Ceolin, we helped break down the updates (or lack thereof) from the latest round of Epstein files, and discussed what we could see unfold next. This time around,  three million pages of material from the investigations were released. And as the chunky, black blocks continue to make their way through the documents, so do names of some of the most powerful men in the world.
