In 2013, a young woman named Elisa Lam checked into the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, and never checked out. Her mysterious disappearance and the viral elevator footage that followed turned a private mentalhealth crisis into a global guessing game. In this episode, we unpack how Elisa’s story became one of the internet’s first true-crime obsessions ,and what that says about our collective relationship with mystery, voyeurism, and mental health. We trace the Cecil’s dark history, from the glamor of old-Hollywood travelers to its tragic ties to serial killers, and explore how an online army of “sleuths” blurred the line between empathy and exploitation.

You think you know Pocahontas, but trust us, this is not the story you in history class (or from a raccoon and a willow tree...we do love you though, Meeko). This week, we’re breaking down the real history of Pocahontas, the woman behind the myth. From her kidnapping and forced assimilation to how England turned her into a PR campaign for colonization. Which also brings us to the MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) crisis. Although we can never give a voice back to all of the MMIW, we can change how society values Native American women. That evolution can only begin with the telling of the real story of Pocahontas, the most famous missing Native American woman in history.

This week we’re talking about the woman who went from a little Gucci dress to a global fashion empire: Victoria Beckham. Known to the world first as Posh Spice, Victoria perfected the art of the pout while quietly becoming one of the most fascinating figures in pop culture. From Spice Girls chaos and WAG tabloid drama to her reinvention as a serious designer, she’s mastered the long game of fame. Was she “too posh to smile”, or just too busy building an empire? We get into the gossip, the glamour, and the girl who turned “Posh” into a lifestyle.

This week on Right Answers Mostly, we’re serving up a full plate of pop culture chaos with Tess's HUSBAND as the guest. From Taylor’s Life of a Showgirl controversial thoughts, and Nicole Kidman’s headline about her divorce, to Bad Bunny’s polarizing Super Bowl performance, it’s "one battle after another" in the celebrity arena. And yes, spoiler alert, we do talk a lot about the film and our thoughts if it is indeed the movie of our generation. But that’s not all, because we couldn’t resist stopping by the Dawson’s Creek reunion and CW nostalgia from our childhood. Thank you for joining us, Kunal!

Before dating apps became the default way to meet your next fling, or your forever, Whitney Wolfe Herd was rewriting the rules of love and tech. From her early days helping launch Tinder, to the explosive fallout that led her to create Bumble, Whitney’s story is one of ambition, lawsuits, billion-dollar valuations, and the rise (and fall?) of the “girlboss” era. In this episode, we unpack how she built a dating empire by asking women to make the first move, how she navigated Silicon Valley’s boys’ club, and what her journey says about feminism, business, and the culture of swiping right.

This week on Right Answers Mostly, we’re diving into the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb,” haunted genius, and reluctant face of America’s most destructive creation. But don’t worry, we’re not leaving you in the fallout without a soundtrack. We’re breaking down Oppenheimer’s journey with a little help from Taylor Swift’s greatest hits, because sometimes the only way to understand the Manhattan Project is to say, "look what you made me do." From his bohemian youth, to the ethical torment that followed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to his public trial and humiliation during the Red Scare, we’ll ask whether Oppenheimer was the tragic anti-hero of his own story, or just a man stuck in a cycle politics, paranoia, and power. History is just gossip after all, even when discussing the Atomic Bomb. Created and produce by Tess Bellomo & Claire Donald For more RAM, follow us here!

In 1911, a fire ripped through the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City, killing 146 garment workers, mostly young immigrant women locked inside. The tragedy shocked the nation and exposed the brutal realities of the industrial age. But before the flames, there was a teenager named Clara Lemlich who stood on a picket line and helped lead the largest strike of women workers in American history. This week, we unpack the story of how exploited immigrant girls changed labor forever, the horrifying conditions inside the Triangle factory, and how their fight gave birth to modern workplace protections we take for granted today.

We dive into Taylor’s current album rollout (are we ruining the joy of music by trying to crack every code?), the limits of stan culture (we’ve GOT to cool it), and the unfolding Lana Del Rey vs. Ethel Cain discourse (a.k.a. the Kendrick vs. Drake drama for sad girls).
