This week, Ashley and Mike get up to some Oscar-style party crashing when they’re joined by Dana Brown, a former Vanity Fair  editor, who shares funny (and occasionally sordid) tales of what he witnessed in his 20 years inside what was Hollywood’s hottest party. In addition, Clara Molot discusses her report on how Yale University’s hunger for oligarch money led it into a potentially compromising relationship with a Kremlin-linked foundation. All this and more make this week’s episode one you won’t want to miss.
