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.

My Mother's Lies: Did She Frame an Innocent Man?

2026/04/15

Jessica Currin was murdered in a quiet Kentucky town in the summer of 2000. Local housewife Susan Galbreath became instrumental in solving the case, working alongside law enforcement to help convict Quincy Cross. Sentenced to life, he remains in prison today. For years, the story seemed settled. Justice had been served. But when Susan's son Ray inherits a box of his mother’s files, everything begins to unravel. Inside are handwritten notes, letters, and photographs—fragments of an investigation that raise more questions than answers. Buried within his mother’s work, Ray believes he’s uncovered a chilling possibility: Did his mom help put an innocent man behind bars? The truth was hidden for decades. Now, it’s finally coming to light. Listen to ⁠My Mother’s Lies⁠, the latest series from The Binge. Get the entire series now, ad-free, by clicking subscribe at the top of the page.

The Three Kisses

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pumpkins and Monkeys

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.

Insufferable, awful, shallow people

Agree with all the other 1 star reviews. The host was so indulgent to these horrible people which might be the most disappointing part.

Worst Binge Series - Skip it

What was the point? Listening to a rich family from NY that needs therapy? Seems like a super boring vanity project.

Hilarious

So shallow and a waste of time. If you’re looking for an “ah ha” moment you’re not going to get it. This family spent a lot of money….that’s it.
