    Introducing Tough Cookie: The Wally “Famous” Amos Story

    Meet Wally Amos. He founded the ubiquitous Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies in 1975, turning the brand into an overnight sensation and himself into a pop-culture fixture in the 1970s and 1980s.  But there’s a darker side to Wally’s seemingly sweet story. One filled with five marriages to six women and a string of bad business decisions that led him to lose the empire he had created. When he passed away in 2024, host Sarah Amos set out to untangle her father’s complicated past and finally face the life and legacy she had been avoiding.  New episodes every Wednesday: swap.fm/l/vf-toughcookie-feed Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been carving out their own luxurious, semi-royal, and very philanthropic path thousands of miles away, in the court of Montecito.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

    “The Only Job Which Matters”: Motherhood Inside the Monarchy

    Motherhood is far from simple, but motherhood within the context and confines of a monarchy comes with its own set of challenges. From the queen to Princess Diana to the Duchess of Sussex, royal mothers have had to balance their maternal instincts with centuries of tradition.

    Never Complain, Never Explain: Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip & the Birth of a Tabloid Dynasty

    The current royal family, divided in so many ways, begins with a firmly unified front: Philip and Elizabeth. The couple’s steadfastness is as trademark as the royal corgis—but look a little closer and you see piles of dirt pathologically brushed under the rug. Who they were as spouses and parents, rather than public figures, not only shaped the family brand, but how the world got to know Charles, Diana, and everything after.   For more DYNASTY, visit VF.com/dynasty.

    Heavy Is the Head: Prince Charles’s Rocky Ascent

    No one has ever waited longer to become monarch than Prince Charles. But who is Prince Charles, and how has his life in the shadows of nearly everyone close to him—his mother, his ex-wife, his sons—impacted who he is today? What can we even expect from King Charles? To understand these questions is to understand the man who has seemingly always played second fiddle in the Windsor P.R. machine. We’ll examine the ways in which Charles has reinvented his image and speculate on what his role and power within the firm mean for the future of the monarchy. For more DYNASTY, visit VF.com/dynasty."

    When it comes to the Windsors and the press, who really holds the power? From Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson’s earth-shattering scandal to revealing TV confessions from Diana and, later, Prince Andrew, why has the royal family always been so afraid of, and prone to, scandal? We’ll investigate the ongoing tug-of-war between Fleet Street and its fetishized family, and how that has played out for the royals who dare try to reset the balance.  For more DYNASTY, visit VF.com/dynasty.

What caused Harry to reject royal tradition and the power of the Windsors in favor of a different kind of life with Meghan?

    The Firm’s Footsoldiers: Who Really Controls the Crown?

    The British royal family is sometimes referred to as “The Firm” – the time-honored, drama-tested machinery that refines, defines and helps control the family’s public image. The inner forces are shadowy—perhaps that’s what led King George VI to coin the phrase in the first place even to the family’s highest-profile members. So how exactly does The Firm work, and who is in it?   For more Dynasty, visit VF.com/dynasty. For a transcript of this episode, please follow this link.
