Rewind: Woodstock 1999
(originally released in March 2023, not the best audio quality!!)Before there was Fyre Festival there was Woodstock 99. The festival took place from July 23-25, 1999 in Rome, New York. Though it was intended to be a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the original Woodstock festival, it ended up being anything but. It turned out to be the hottest weekend of the year, with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees.The festival grounds were designed to hold 50,000 people, but over 200,000 showed up. There were long lines for water and bathrooms, and the prices for food and merchandise were sky-high. And to make matters worse, there were reports of sexual assault and harassment throughout the weekend- in this episode we examine Woodstock ‘99 what went right, what went Korn, and what went wrong.

The Life & Death of Marilyn Monroe: Part 3 Gone but Eternal
Count your pills, and lock your doors, as we gain a broader understanding of the death of Marilyn Monroe. Was it a suicide? A tragic accident? or was it something much worse?? Because the official story? It doesn’t really sit right. Because maybe she overdosed. Or accidental. Or it was intentional . Or maybe, just maybe, someone silenced her. And maybe, in the mess of all that myth and murder, we buried the real woman underneath the most recognizable face in the world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/broads-next-door--5803223/support.

But very few people know the little girl who came before her. that’s what this episode is about. Not just how Marilyn Monroe died. Or how Marilyn Monroe lived. But how Norma Jeane Baker disappeared. Because on June 1st, 1926, one hundred years ago this week, a baby girl was born in Los Angeles. And over the next thirty-six years she would become the most photographed woman in the world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/broads-next-door--5803223/support.
