A deep dive into the tragic relationship of INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and rock journalist Paula Yates.

I have a podcast called Love Will Tear Us Apart where I do deep dives on famous complicated relationships.

So far I’ve featured Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, Tina and Ike Turner, Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner, Siegfried and Roy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Martin Ginsburg (not a complicated couple), J. Robert Oppenheimer and Jean Tatlock and now Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates.

These two were not on my short list for my podcast, but after watching the Michael Hutchence documentary, Mystify, I…

Fifty years later, the fiery saga of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham is still burning strong.

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are two reasons why I decided to start my podcast, Love Will Tear Us Apart.

Love Will Tear Us Apart is a historical podcast on your favorite complicated couples: Gene Wilder & Gilda Radner, Ike & Tina Turner, Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald and so on.

I’m currently underway with the first season, but my episodes on Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were by far the most fun to research and record. …

For decades, Jews have been at the front lines of social change, and Bernie is no exception.

When my great-grandmother Sophie landed in America from Poland in the early part of the 20th century, she assimilated like so many other Jewish immigrants. I’ve never known for certain why she turned her back on her Jewish roots, but my beloved grandmother told me her mother was fearful — of what and whom I’m left to ponder. …

Generalizing all Bernie Sanders voters as bros erases the diverse coalition of supporters his campaign fosters.

I’ve been a supporter of Bernie Sanders for the past five years.

In 2016, I volunteered over 50 hours to his primary campaign. I vowed to be respectful when discussing other politicians and their voters, and I worked alongside dedicated volunteers who were nothing but kind and positive. So when I would see generalizations from the media or social media that all Bernie supporters were just angry white “Bernie Bros,” it was deeply hurtful. …

When I hear the story of Bernie Sanders’ family, I hear the story of my family.

At 14, I remember seeing Stevie Nicks on Vh1, singing her heart out to her former lover, Lindsey Buckingham. The song was “Silver Springs,” a Rumors-era b-side that found chart success in 1997 when Fleetwood Mac reunited for The Dance. That performance was the…
