    Martha Stewart with Right Answers Mostly
    Aug 20 2025
    Martha Stewart: The Domestic Goddess Who Went to Prison! Martha Stewart isn’t just the queen of centerpieces and perfectly folded napkins — she’s a woman whose life has spanned modeling contracts, Wall Street, billion-dollar empires, federal indictments, and yes… prison at “Camp Cupcake.” This week, we’re joined by our friends Tess & Claire from Right Answers Mostly to dig into Martha’s remarkable (and scandal-filled) life. From kissing strangers on her honeymoon, to becoming America’s first female self-made billionaire, to her unlikely friendship with Snoop Dogg — Martha’s story is proof that perfectionism and ambition can build an empire… but they can also land you in hot water with the feds. 00:00 Welcome and Special Guests Introduction 01:16 Introducing Today's Topic: Martha Stewart 05:56 Martha Stewart's Early Life and Family Background 11:21 Martha's College Years and Early Marriage 13:24 Martha's Honeymoon and Early Career 16:27 Motherhood and Wall Street Career 20:54 Catering Business and Rise to Fame 28:04 A New Beginning: Launching a Magazine 30:52 Insider Trading Scandal 34:40 Prison Time and Reform 37:00 Post-Prison Comeback 39:27 Martha and Snoop: An Unlikely Duo 49:05 Reflecting on Martha's Legacy Check out Right Answers Mostly wherever you get your pods and follow them on Instagram Queens podcast is part of Airwave Media podcast network.
