“If your group chat is obsessed with juicy gossip and all things celebrity, be an MVP and introduce Infamous to your collective rotation. Co-hosted by veteran Vanity Fair and New York Magazine writer Vanessa Grigoriadis and former Forbes reporter Natalie Robehmed, this weekly podcast digs all the way in to both high and low pop culture moments and figures, featuring from-the-vault recordings from famous faces we all know and love (and sometimes hate). Its latest episodes spotlight everything from Meghan Markle's media chess game to the Diddy scandal to the Lohanissaince, so yeah, it's a winner.”

“How do powerful people get taken down when they do something terrible? Journalists have a lot to do with it, but how does it happen? Infamous is a podcast about the journalists who take a hard look at the institutions around us and ask the questions about them most people don't want the answers to. Hosts Vanessa Grigoriadis and Natalie Robehmed and their guests trace the origins of scandals like the fall and attempted rebranding of the Victoria's Secret empire, the NXIVM sex cult, the Satanic Panic, and the Gwyneth Paltrow turtleneck sweater ski trial. What did it take to crack open these cases, and what were the repercussions for being the ones who did? If you've always wondered who and what exists on the other side of a scandal, check out Infamous.”

“‘Boy Gone Wild’ looks back at a mid-2000s incident in which Joe Francis, creator of the highly disreputable Girls Gone Wild softcore-porn franchise, allegedly found himself the victim of a kidnapping. (It wouldn’t be the only time, apparently.) From there the podcast uses Girls Gone Wild as a window into the American pop-culture landscape around the turn of the millennium, thus fitting neatly within the recent trend of shows and podcasts relitigating the more troublesome aspects of the late ’90s and early 2000s.”

ALLISON AFTER NXIVM
The acclaimed limited series
You may think you know everything about NXIVM—the self-help empire turned sex cult led by Keith Raniere. But the most famous woman at the center of the story has remained largely silent. Allison after NXIVM tells the story of Allison Mack: former Smallville actress, high-ranking NXIVM member, and convicted felon. With exclusive access to Mack after her release from three years in prison, this series follows her journey from Hollywood stardom to cult complicity—and her attempt to rebuild a life in the aftermath. Through intimate interviews and conversations with those who knew her then and now, Allison after NXIVM explores the tangled questions of complicity, coercion, and the possibility of redemption. Is she a victim, a villain—or both?

In this series, host Natalie Robehmed exposes him, despite his digital vanishing acts and multiple aliases, and hunts down the man who victims say stole from them – to find out: Who is the real Ken?
