Forever remembered as the smart and stylish First Lady to President John F Kennedy, whose shocking death in Dallas she witnessed first hand, Jackie Kennedy is an enduring icon of the 20th Century. But much about her turbulent life in the public gaze - before, during and after her marriage to Kennedy - has remained a closely guarded secret.

One of the world’s most successful biographers, J Randy Taraborrelli, has been working on a book about Jackie for thirty years, conducting hundreds of interviews with her friends, her family and her lovers. His best selling ‘Jackie, Public, Private, Secret' came out earlier this year. Reviewers have queued up to praise its blend of revelation and respect.

J Randy joins Andrew and Phil to share his insights, reveal his methods and deliver a masterclass in the art of the biography.

You can buy the book - along with thousand of others - at the Scandal Mongers own bookstore, with all profits shared between independent booksellers and podcasters.
