S11E3: Nothing Compares 2 U | Elizabeth and John Edwards & Prince

This week, we have two long-time listener requests! Stacie has the tale of author and activist Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former US Senator and 2004 VP nominee John Edwards, told, as much as possible, from Elizabeth’s perspective. We’ll follow up with a deep dive on the sex scandal that ended John Edwards’s marriage and political career on Wednesday’s Trashy Breakups. Then, Alicia takes us through the many, many, many loves of the legendary Prince.
