Description

Staggering success, unexpected loss, over-the-top parties, shocking betrayals, and profound intimacy are woven together into a high-profile family-therapy session. The Just Enough Family follows the meteoric rise and staggering fall of the Steinbergs, once one of America’s richest families, through the eyes of Liz Lange— successful fashion designer, captivating storyteller, and niece of the infamous corporate raider Saul Steinberg. Host Ariel Levy (The New Yorker, The Rules do Not Apply), Liz’s friend, gets an inside look at what happened to the once seemingly invincible clan. New money, old secrets, and the fine line between success and excess, from executive producer Melinda Shopsin (Mystery Show) and Three Uncanny Four Productions.

Perestroika

2021/09/09

Liz Lange grew up in one of New York City’s richest families, and then accidentally started a maternity wear empire that revolutionized the look of American pregnancy— she led a charmed life until all at once, her family went bankrupt, she was diagnosed with cancer, and everything she believed to be dependable was proved precarious.

Park Avenue Shtetl

2021/09/09

The Steinberg wealth is all thanks to Liz’s uncle Saul, who became a multi millionaire before he turned thirty, and brought his entire family along for the ride—especially Liz’s father, Bobby, Saul’s life-long right-hand man.

Pumpkins and Monkeys

2021/09/16

Liz learned about glamour from her mother, Kathy—a “shopper’s shopper”—whom she fought with all the time as a kid, to the great distress of her little sister, Jane, and their father, Bobby.

It’s a Wasp World

2021/09/23

Saul was a genius—a business phenomenon who went to Wharton at sixteen, had a publicly-traded company by the end of his twenties, and led a “Halston kind of life” dating models and going to Studio 54—but the gentile establishment stood in his way when he went after august institutions like the Chemical Bank.

Pollyanna

2021/09/30

When Liz married Jeff Lange everyone thought she’d won the lottery, but ultimately his mental illness led to a tragic end that challenged even Liz’s relentless Pollyanna optimism.

The Magic Kingdom

2021/10/07

Liz and Jane—and most of New York City—were dazzled by the gorgeous woman with the strange name who Saul took up with after his second divorce: Gayfryd. Meanwhile, Kathy and Bobby seemed to be competing for who could spend more extravagantly, and their marriage unraveled.

The Three Kisses

2021/10/14

Liz always thought of her father as her “beacon,” so she is stunned and devastated when she gives him a loyalty test—and he fails.

Icarus

2021/10/21

Saul suffers a massive stroke at fifty-five— he is transformed from a fearsome capitalist into someone else entirely—and in his stead, Bobby presides over the largest insurance collapse in history—but Liz always lands on her feet.

All I knew was Spy’s jaundiced view

Kudos to the producers and Ariel for a beautifully written and produced podcast. I walked away knowing much more about the Steinbergs and the trials (...

Engaging!

Enjoyed this a great deal. An American family story with unexpected twists and turns. The various family member perspectives adds depth.

Great, but less and longer episodes would be better

More, shorter episodes equals more as revenue. These episodes should be longer. But it’s a great story well-told.
