In this double length episode, we stitch two Not Dunne Yet episodes together for one big old spiderweb surrounding Grey Gardens and Big and Little Edie Beale, the most famous mother-daughter pair of Georgica Pond in East Hampton, NY. Our journey begins with a bit of investigation into Sally Quinn, featured in the last episodes, who purchases Grey Gardens from Little Edie in the late 1970s, after decades of history with The Edies. Today’s investigation weaves through decades of history with so many familiar faces from our journey.

Hello Investigators, I want to tell you about a new show that I’m really excited about. My friend Rainbow Valentine has been collecting the stories of the first generation of women to have access to The Pill, Rock ‘n’ Roll, and LSD. 

In her podcast Psychedelic Women, Rainbow talks to the women who lived and made the counterculture in 1960s San Francisco and, eventually, the world. It's a fascinating, beautifully crafted show featuring real-life stories that'll blow your mind.

Coming up is the trailer for Psychedelic Women, and Episode 1 lands today. Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you’re listening.

In this episode, we travel with Dominick Dunne fresh out of Paris in 1998 and into Washington DC in 1999. Our man Nick is still a bit out of his element inside the beltway, but he will get his bearings fairly quickly and thankfully tell us all about it. Dunne wrote about his time in January 1999 for Vanity Fair in a piece titled Mr. Dunne Goes to Washington, and it is revealing in many ways, even almost thirty years later into the future.

Dunne spills the details on his feelings about Bill and Hillary Clinton, the 1999 State of the Union, many a Georgetown party, and the end of his friendship with Lucianne Goldberg as well, which has Dunne having a front row seat into the scandal as it was developing real time. With connections into all kinds of past spiderwebs, this one is sure to please your investigative hearts.
