This week on The Way They Were, we’re unlocking one of our most popular Patreon episodes of the year and sharing it on the free feed.

We’re doing something a little different today. Chantal swaps her mic for a magnifying glass and Gráinne pulls her fedora low as they step away from the usual romantic nostalgia and into the glittering golden age of Hollywood. This time, our sleuthing duo turn their attention to the tragic, endlessly puzzling story of Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner: movie stars, tabloid royalty, and the centre of one of Tinseltown’s most haunting mysteries.

If you enjoy this kind of deep-dive, pop culture, history, mystery, and two hosts gently sparring their way through it, there’s plenty more where this came from.
