Barbara Shearer, documentary filmmaker and producer, joins me to discuss her work covering the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell case.

Barbara directed Epstein’s Shadow: Ghislaine Maxwell, served as executive producer on Prince Andrew: Banished, and is currently developing a book project examining Maxwell’s life and influence. She shares what it was like to be one of the first filmmakers to investigate this story, how it evolved over time, and her perspective on the ongoing release of the Epstein files.

In this re-air of my interview with author Elizabeth Beller, we revisit the life and legacy of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the enigmatic wife of John F. Kennedy Jr., whose story continues to fascinate a generation.

With renewed interest sparked by the upcoming FX series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, inspired by Beller’s book, this conversation feels more timely than ever.

In Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Beller reexamines Carolyn’s life beyond the tabloid mythology. She explores Carolyn’s early years, her career in fashion, her complicated relationship with fame, and the intense media scrutiny that defined her marriage. The result is an effervescent and deeply researched portrait of a woman often misunderstood — stylish yet private, modern yet steeped in the weight of American legacy.
