Mrs. and Mistresses

Mrs. and Mistresses

by Sarah Miller

Season 1

11: Why ghost a woman when you can just chop off her head?

Welcome back! Sarah and Audrey cover King Henry VIII and his many wives in this episode. We're asking the important questions, such as: Why is there such a lack of whimsy around death now that we understand basic biology? Is it cool to gift your lover a locket? Who knew the gossip was so good in the early 1500s?

10: Chris Columbus: Not a Hero, Just a Hoe with Money and a Boat

Sarah and Audrey discuss the man, the myth, the maybe-not-actually-a-cheater, Christopher Columbus. We get into illegitimate children's rights, Confederate statues, and why Italian Americans should replace Columbus with Tony Soprano as their patron saint. Though Columbus technically may not have cheated on anyone, he did enough vile things that we know you'll feel more than comfortable listening to us shit on him for an hour!

8: Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog

This week, Sarah and Audrey discuss the King of Rock 'n' Roll (and, apparently, also mommy issues) Elvis Presley. Join them as they do a deep dive into the shit he put the women in his life through, as well as his multiple connections to the Kardashians and why 1970s-era women were so damn turned on by capes. *This episode was recorded in 2023, right between the release of Baz Luhrmann's Elvis and Sofia Coppola's Priscilla.

12: A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an I’mma get laid

This week, the girls cover a U.S. president, known for his charm and good looks. No, it's not Trump! Audrey and Sarah cover JFK and the badass women in his life. Most of us know about the famous affair between JFK and Marilyn, but that was just the tip of the iceberg for him! Did Jackie O know? Did she accept his affairs? What was her life like after JFK? Was JFK tight with the mob? Listen and find out.

9: Louis XV - The Very Well-Loved

The girls are back with another episode. This time covering Louis XV, his lovely wife, and Louis' many, many mistresses. If you didn't pay attention during this part in European History class, don't worry, neither did we. This might be the most mistresses we've ever covered. Louis XV was nicknamed the Le-Bien Aimé - the well-loved. And let us tell you, he was very well-loved indeed!

7: Horton Hears a Ho!

Sarah and Audrey are back after a long hiatus! Lots has changed but one thing remains the same - men are sus. In this episode, Sarah and Audrey take on the king of rhyme himself, Dr. Seuss. Is he the innocent children's book author we all read growing up? Or is there more to his story? (Of course there is). Grab a drink and tune into this episode to learn all about the wife and mistress of Theodor Seuss Geisel.

6: The Snobbish and Awkward Sartre

This episode is just further proof to 1) not trust an artist and 2) not trust an artist that still lives at home. Audrey and Sarah cover French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and his life-partner/philosopher in crime Simone de Beauvoir. This time, both the Mr. and the Mrs. have mistresses, and it gets a little convoluted. Learn how this life-long couple had such a "successful" relationship. Hint: It wasn't because of sex. Well, at least not with each other.

5: The Electric Sex Life of Benjamin Franklin

Welp, we are collectively feeling the dread of the state of our nation, so what better time to roast one of our founding fathers?! That's right, Benji Franklin is up next. Tune in as we uncover what kind of man he truly was. Spoiler alert: not a good dude.

4: My Dearest Unique Karl

This year has been a doozy. But we're back and recording a safe social distance. Grab a drink and learn a little bit our this guy named Karl Marx, how he wasn't as great as we thought he was, and how even he was a little bit of a womanizer. Wear your fucking masks!

3: Picasso and the Women He Bled

Since we're all self-isolating, now is the perfect time to learn about Picasso and his very busy dating life. In this episode, Sarah and Audrey discuss how much of a DOG Picasso was and somehow draw parallels to American singer-songwriter, R. Kelly. It was impossible to cover every woman this dude banged in one hour-long episode, but we tried our best and uncovered some pretty cool history about how "Picasso bled the women in his life for art."
