The following podcast is a deer media production.

Welcome to the Bad Broadcast. I'm your host, Maddie Murphy.

Hello, hello, hello, welcome back to a new episode of The Bad Broadcast.

This is a deep dive episode if you didn't already know by the title that I gave this episode.

I did not plan on doing a deep dive this week and if I was going to do it, I was certainly not going to do it about Anna Nicole Smith.

But then I spent my whole day reading about her and watching all these YouTube videos and watching a couple documentaries about her.

And I totally, first of all, fell in love with her and also realized how little I knew about somebody who I thought I knew a lot about.

Like I grew up hearing about Anna Nicole Smith all the time, all the time.

And then when I started researching her, I realized the only things I really knew is that she was a playmate,

that she married a really old rich guy and that she died young.

Those were the only things I knew about her.

So it was super, super fascinating to learn about her and I think you guys are really going to enjoy it because if you're anything like me,

which I assume you are because you're here, you love it early 2000s, Starlit. It's my favorite category of person.

And I love listening to deep dive episode, like deep dive podcasts, any podcasts that I listen to,

is usually about a topic that I'm interested in but don't want to do the research about.

And if you're in that boat about Anna Nicole Smith, you're really interested in her, want to know about her life,

don't want to do the research?

Well, I have your back because I did all of it.

So come with me as we learn about her weird and tough and tragic life.

And I do want to put a trigger warning at the beginning because this episode we're going to talk about drugs and abuse and death

and all those scary, bad, hard things. So if you're not into that, I'll see you next week.

And I also want to clarify something.
