S13E7: Speed of the Sound of Loneliness | Huguette Clark & The Crisis of Kim and Kanye

This week, Alicia has the little-known story of Gilded Age heiress Huguette Clark, a wealthy recluse whose portfolio of unoccupied mansions fascinated the world when she died in 2011 at the age of 104. Then Stacie takes us through the increasingly disturbing behavior of Ye (formerly Kanye West), who has spent the week triggering the public, and likely his family, with social media harassment and threats.
