Our lives can be crazy, but you can take a break from it all with Wondery’s new series, Even the Rich, where co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams pull back the curtain and chat about someone else’s craziness for a change. They tell stories about some of the greatest family dynasties in history, from the Murdochs to the Royals to the Carters (Jay-Z and Beyoncé, that is). Because as Queen Elizabeth once said, “A good gossip is a wonderful tonic.”

And with more great guests to come like, Billy Porter, Martha Stewart, Gretchen Rubin, and Loni Love, "Say Yes" will motivate you to get to your yes in life, too. Listen at wondery.fm/sayyes_etr.
