Podcast Series Trashy Divorces

Greek shipping magnate and globe trotting rich guy Aristotle Onassis might have been a minor figure in the minds of most Americans if he hadn't inserted himself into the American psychodrama that is the Kennedy family. But obviously, his life and riches did not begin with his courtship of the widowed Jacqueline Kennedy. His story began decades before, with a hot opera singing girlfriend and a dream - of selling cigarettes to women. Hey, everybody starts somewhere.

S29E12: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Becoming the Duke and Duchess of Windsor

S29E12: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Becoming the Duke and Duchess of Windsor

In December of 1936, David is off the throne and has a little time on his hands. The former king cannot reunite with his love Wallis at the moment, as her final divorce decree from Ernest Simpson is still pending within the court system. David will not spend much time thinking beyond his abdication as it is happening, and because of his lack of foresight, there are a few uncomfortable months in the early part of 1937 for the couple. There is, as you would expect, a whole lot of family drama throughout this time period, but this episode does end with a wedding between this star-crossed couple - faith healer priest and gorgeous flowers included!

S29E11: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | The Instrument of Abdication

We have journeyed into this trashy series to fall of 1936, and the abdication of Edward VIII is coming fast and hard. The world now knows about Wallis, and everyone has an opinion about the love affair the world can’t stop discussing. From the people to the palace to the Parliament, we have a whole lot of influences in today’s tale.  Wallis is not rooting for David leaving his kingdom, but he is a man-child not to be deterred. The King is going to get his girl, even if he loses his crown. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

S29E10: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | The Countdown to Abdication

S29E10: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | The Countdown to Abdication

No one inside or outside the palace seems all too pleased in this continuing episode of our Wallis series. We are definitely on the countdown to the December 1936 abdication of Edward VIII, and the events of the summer and fall really turn up the temperature on the whole sordid mess. David isn’t too keen on being the king. Neither are his advisors. A lot of folks would like to see David just walk away from the job. The one lone voice urging him to keep the gig was his lover, Wallis. She wants no part of any of this nonsense, but it seems any chance she had to leave her fate is long gone.

S29E9: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | The King is Dead, Long Live the King

S29E9: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | The King is Dead, Long Live the King

King George V has passed, and it is David’s time to assume the throne. The new King of England is pretty okay with it, for now – but only if his rules are followed. The people of England are pretty fired up about the monarch who they feel will be a youthful, modern twist to the staid and formal reign of the past. There are a lot of other folks, mostly the ones close to David, who do not share this same enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Wallis is still playing her hand, balancing between an ever more needy lover and a husband who will soon not be too bummed at all that she has been fooling around.

S29E8: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | That Woman

S29E8: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | That Woman

This week, we bring Wallis and the Prince of Wales together, and it is some scandalous stuff. Walls sells out her friend Thelma. David is resolved to get Wallis into his inner court world, no matter what he must do, even with enemies on all sides. The prince has now become a determined guy, and Wallis is playing a very dangerous game with some very high stakes. Aunt Bessie does try to warn Wallis, bless her heart, not that it does much good.

S29E7: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Thelma Furness

S29E7: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Thelma Furness

This week, we progress in our journey to the last lover of the Prince of Wales, before Wallis, that is. Thelma Furness enters the picture. Thelma comes with her own legend, being one of the Magical Morgan Twins, along with her sister Gloria. Thelma thinks she can trust her good friend Wallis to keep an eye on “her little man” when she is needed to support her sister, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, back in the United States, where Gloria is stuck right in the middle of the “trial of the century,” concerning the custody status of little Gloria Vanderbilt. How history does turn on such things…it does not work out great for Thelma, at least when it comes to David.  Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?
