  • Hot People, Bad Match: JFK Jr. & Carolyn Bessette
    Feb 9 2026
    Before they were a symbol of 90s perfection, John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette were shaped by very different kinds of pressure. John grew up inside America’s most mythologized family, raised in public grief and constant expectation. Carolyn came from outside the dynasty, building her life on privacy, control, and impeccable restraint. When they fell in love, it looked like fate. What followed was something far messier. In this episode, we trace how fame became a third partner, how obsession was mistaken for romance, and how one of the most aestheticized couples in modern history quietly unraveled, ending in tragedy. Because Camelot 2.0 wasn’t just glamorous. It was toxic, suffocating, and devastatingly human. Produced and created by Tess Bellomo and Claire Donald For more RAM, check us out here!

  • The Kennedy Dynasty: Welcome to Camelot
    Feb 2 2026
    Welcome to Kennedys Month at Right Answers Mostly. We’re kicking things off at the very beginning: the building of the Kennedy dynasty and the man behind it all, Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.. The Kennedy story begins with famine in Ireland, and a risky escape to Boston, Massachusetts. We unpack how Juicy Joe built his fortune, pulled the strings behind the scenes, and paved the way for his sons, most famously John F. Kennedy, to enter politics. Was it clean? Not exactly. Was it effective? Absolutely. From backroom deals to carefully crafted public images, this is the origin story of how the Kennedys didn’t just enter American politics, they conquered it, and sealed their place as American royalty. THIS IS THE KENNEDY DYNASTY!

  • Lilly Pulitzer and the Birth of Rich Girl Casual
    Jan 26 2026
    Before Lilly Pulitzer was splashed across sorority houses, bachelorette parties, and every preppy closet in America, she was just a Palm Beach socialite trying not to ruin her clothes while running a juice stand. What happened next accidentally created one of the most recognizable fashion empires of all time. In this episode, Tess and Claire dive into how Lilly turned bright, stain-hiding shift dresses into a symbol of wealth, freedom, and rich girl rebellion and why her hot-pink prints quietly blew up the buttoned-up fashion rules of the 1950s and ’60s. We’re talking Jackie Kennedy (HINT HINT for future episode) in Palm Beach, old money social codes, glamorous breakdowns, scandalous divorces, and the rise of casual luxury before anyone was allowed to dress “effortless.” If you love this episode you can find the entire episode here on our premium channel!

  • Eleanor of Aquitaine: The Queen Who Built Empires for Loser Kings
    Jan 19 2026
    This week, we’re joined by Katy from Queens Podcast, whose deep knowledge of royal history helps us unpack how Eleanor quietly (and sometimes not-so-quietly) shaped empires, fueled crusades, and influenced generations of rulers, all while being married to two very mediocre kings who consistently failed upward. From Louis VII to Henry II, we break down how Eleanor’s intelligence, wealth, and strategy built power structures that men happily claimed as their own. We explore Eleanor’s marriages, her imprisonment, her political savvy, and why history punished her for the same ambition it rewarded in men. Plus: feminist rage, royal divorce drama, and proof that the concept of “letting him think it was his idea” is much older than we thought. If you love powerful women, messy monarchies, and reclaiming history from underwhelming men ,this episode is for you.

  • The Boston Tea Party: America’s First Public Meltdown
    Jan 12 2026
    It’s our first episode of 2026, and we’re kicking off the year by spilling the most famous tea in American history... literally. You learned about the Boston Tea Party in school, but probably not like this. We’re breaking down what actually led a group of colonists to dress up, break into ships, and dump thousands of pounds of tea into Boston Harbor. From corporate monopolies and bad political decisions to unhinged protests and unintended consequences, this episode proves once again that history is just gossip. Oh and we're sorry that we said we wanted to beef with our British Rammes, you know we love you. Welcome to 2026 with Right Answers Mostly!

  • George Washington Was… Kinda Hot?
    Dec 15 2025
    This week, we’re joined by Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky , presidential historian and Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon , to talk all things George Washington Dr. Chervinsky breaks down a George Washington you’ve probably never met: a little petty, a little theater-kid coded, low-key hot, surprisingly funny, occasionally temperamental, and undeniably courageous. We get into the myths, the mess, the leadership, and why George’s particular brand of integrity (and humor!) is something we desperately wish we saw more of today.

  • Katharine Hepburn: Hollywood’s Rebellion in Trousers
    Dec 8 2025
    In this week’s episode, we dive into the life of Hollywood’s original “I’ll do it my way” girl: Katharine Hepburn. From growing up in a fiercely progressive household (her mom was literally fighting for birth control while her dad was lecturing on public health) to reinventing herself as the pants wearing, ice-bath-taking, golf obsessed wellness influencer of 1930, Hepburn was never going to fit the studio mold. We unpack her rise from east coast tomboy to four time Oscar winner, the rumors, the reinventions, the romances (real and speculated), and the unapologetic independence that made her a legend. It’s a story of privilege, pressure, feminism before we called it that, and the price of living life on your own terms in old Hollywood. History is just gossip, and this is Hepburn like you’ve never heard her.
