S20E15: Rock Hudson

Continuing our exploration of the mid-century's most famous sisters sextet, we turn our attention to Unity, Jessica, and Deborah Mitford. If you thought the politics of the first three were fascinating, just wait: Unity adopted Nazism and befriended Adolph Hitler, Jessica was an avid communist, and Deborah married a Cavendish and became the celebrated renovator and promoter of Chatsworth House, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire.

Hey friends, Alicia and Stacie here to tell you about a new show that we're really excited about. Our friend Rainbow Valentine has been collecting the stories of the first generation of women to have access to The Pill, Rock n Roll, and LSD. In her podcast Psychedelic Women, Rainbow talks to the women who lived and made the counterculture in 1960s San Francisco and, eventually, the world. It's a fascinating, beautifully crafted show featuring real-life stories that'll blow your mind. Coming up is the trailer for Psychedelic Women, and Episode 1 lands today.

Starting back in the Jazz Age of the 1920s, the six daughters of an aristocratic family became something of a sensation in Britain. The Mitford Sisters - Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica, and Deborah - traversed many orbits, from being members of the Bright Young Things to becoming avatars of the extreme politics churning through the UK as the horrors of World War II set in.

Academy Award Nominee Jennifer Tilly is having a bit of a moment. After bursting onto the scene in the 1990s - after years of the usual Hollywood slog - she made serious cultural marks in films like Bound and as a scream queen in the Chucky movies and television show. She was also half of one of the least trashy divorces we've ever heard of, which is also how she became independently wealthy enough to - now - appear as a friend on the latest seasons of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
