    Dana Plato

    Dana Plato was a beloved child star in the 80s sitcom Diff’rent Strokes. But her good girl on-screen persona was spoiled by rumors that she was partaking in the bad behavior trifecta: sex, drugs, and alcohol. The public was quick to forget about her after she was written off the show...until years later, when she made headlines for robbing a video store. Lena and Alissa discuss child stars, motherhood and addiction, and talk about how their approach to the podcast has changed throughout its run.

    Belle Gibson

    Belle Gibson was one of the original wellness influencers. She documented her unconventional cancer recovery process—consisting largely of restrictive eating and herbal remedies—for a growing cadre of loyal followers. She furthered her empire by developing a popular wellness app and a book. But it was all a lie. She was never afflicted with the cancer that defined her public identity. This week, Lena and Alissa unpack Belle’s big lie, the toxic undercurrents of internet wellness culture, and the many pitfalls of building a life online.

    Maila Nurmi AKA Vampira

    Maila Nurmi was known for her role as Vampira, the original glamour ghoul, late-night horror host, and proto-goth sex symbol who would inspire the on-screen look of modern-day Morticia Addams. Despite her lasting impact on 1950s America, and on culture at large, few people remember her today. In this episode, Lena and Alissa discuss her artistry, her sharp tongue and scathing disses, and her involvement with Hollywood greats like Orson Welles, Marlon Brando, Elvis Presley, and— most infamously—James Dean.

    Janet Cooke ft. Mike Sager

    At first, Janet Cooke was known as a promising, young, Pulitzer-Prize-winning reporter at The Washington Post. Then, she became infamous when she returned her Pulitzer for committing one of journalism’s cardinal sins: fabrication. Today, her name is invoked in textbooks and in classrooms as a warning, a maleficent totem in journalism’s history, and as a vehicle for discussions about ethics and diversity in the newsroom. In this episode, Lena and Alissa focus instead on Janet’s upbringing and inner life which influenced her bad choices. Alissa also chats with journalist Mike Sager about his memories of the scandal, his close friendship-slash-relationship with Janet, and the important but often overlooked details he uncovered when writing about her story. Mentions: Shannon Wilsey (aka Savannah) episode from season 3. More Info: We're dedicating this season of The C-Word to reproductive rights. Join us!

  • In 1999, a music festival took place in upstate New York that became a social experiment. There were riots, looting, and numerous assaults. And it was set to a soundtrack of the era’s most aggressive rock bands. Incredibly, it was the third iteration of Woodstock, a festival known for peace, love, and hippie idealism. But Woodstock ’99 revealed some hard truths behind the myths of the 1960s, and the danger that nostalgia can engender.
