True Story # 94 Baley Bodden
Baley Bodden is a Nashville/New York based, self-taught artist who is held to be Nashville's up and coming face of not only intimate pop art but a trail blazer in the feminine NFT space. As a powerhouse female artist and an avant-garde in all facets of social media marketing, she has formed into a global brand and uses her art to embody one to be unapologetic, sexy, and authentic. Bodden is paving the oh so glamorous passage ode to pop art for generations to come.
Bodden recently debuted her solo exhibition show in New York City, "In The Mood,” featuring muted pieces that convey sensual experiences taking the traditional shame away from the visceral moment. A few of her one of one pieces have been exclusively held from her solo Meatpacking show for their launch at the KAF exhibition in Seoul, Korea. During her month long stay in NYC, she emulated pieces that conveyed commitment though intimacy, which many will say is lost in our day in time.
Baley Bodden aspires to make an impact on lives throughout the world from Nashville to New York City to Seoul to Paris. Bodden wants to create a fortress of artistic messages to today's society establishing that commitment and loyalty are sexy. This should be a learning lesson for all, as we move through this life and she is here to breathe that life back into our society through her most creative and artistic inhibitions.

True Story # 92 Yvette Gentile and Rasha Pecoraro
Sisters Yvette Gentile and Rasha Pecoraro are primarily recognized as the co-hosts of the wildly popular podcast “Root of Evil: The True Story of the Hodel Family and the Black Dahlia,” a 2020 iHeart Radio ‘True Crime Podcast of the Year' nominee. The dark story of their mother Fauna Hodel's life garnered the attention of superstar Chris Pine (Star Trek, Hell or High Water), actress India Eisley (Underworld: Awakening, The Secret Life of the American Teenager) and award-winning director Patty Jenkins (Monster, Wonder Woman) and became a six-episode TNT limited television series “I Am The Night,” which premiered in January 2019.
Gentile and Pecoraro return to the airwaves with a new weekly podcast from Tenderfoot TV and iHeart radio called “Facing Evil.” In their latest venture, the siblings bring their unique perspective of growing up in a family with a dark history, to true crime with a focus on the victims and individuals at the heart of the stories.
“If we can make a difference and teach others how we can be better human beings by doing good in the world, we will have achieved everything our mother stood for,” says the pair. “Our goal for this show is to find a light in the darkness and to bring awareness to those stories that are as deserving of the attention that our family has received. By shining light on these other stories of evil, we strive to foster healing.”
Outside of podcasting, Gentile is also an actor, model, and sandal designer with her husband Gino. She is an avid yogi who trains for and practices classes specific to individuals confronting distress and long-term grief and pain. She splits her time between her hometown of Hawaii, San Francisco and Italy.
Pecoraro was a fierce competitor on “The Biggest Loser” in 2006. Since then, she's advocated for beauty at any size as a plus size model and married her wife Vanna in 2010. She is a proud LGBTQ+ advocate and activist, mother, as well as an actor and voiceover artist. She resides near Portland but remains a forever native of Honolulu.
