Alissa Bennett is co-host of The C-Word podcast on Luminary as well as a decorated historian of bad behavior. \u201cBy sifting through the cultural trash heap of history,\u201d her podcast dives deep into the lives of famous women who have been called "Crazy" throughout history, the stories that we\u2019re told about them through the tabloid press, and the real life that was happening behind the scenes. Alissa is also the author of four zines; collections of essays reflecting on dozens of fascinating characters in pop culture deviance. She mines the depths of the internet for strange truths and even stranger gossip, while weaving in personal anecdotes of her own. Today we will be discussing why we love trash media of all kinds. We\u2019ll even give The Final Thought, usually reserved for Jerry Springer, to Alissa\u2019s child genius Ollie.
