607. Doris Day featuring Al Jorden and George Weidler
Actress and singer Doris Day built a giant career in Hollywood on the image of the All-American Girl, a perfectly relatable Girl Next Door, virtuous and funny. It was pure spin, with Groucho Marx once quipping, “I’ve been around so long, I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin.” Doris herself chafed at the limitations of the typecasting and how utterly at odds it was to the life she was actually living. In this first part of her story, Alicia takes us through her start in show business, her first two husbands, and a whole lotta playing the field in 1950s Hollywood.

S32E23: Australia's Tyre King Bob Jane
Australia, it seems to us, is a country of huge personalities, and that's even true when it comes to endeavors as mundane as selling car tires, or tyres. Australia didn't simply need a mass-market tyre retailer, Aussies needed Bob Jane T-Marts with their clean image, catchy jingle, and celebrated race car driver at the helm. The company made Bob himself a multimillionaire, but his inability to forgive and forget tarnished his golden years and wrecked his third marriage to Laree, a woman 38 years his junior.
