Stop trying to make women out to be innocent victims who don’t know what we’re doing when we manipulate men with our sexuality. Just like men do, we use our strengths to our advantage.

The teaser for „Infamous: Gwyneth Paltrows Ski Trial“ on this feed is very misleading. It says: „Murder on the Ski Slope“. I don‘t know if it‘s supposed to be funny, but people who don‘t know the case might think that somebody was intentionally killed. Nobody died, nobody was murdered. Also it is...Read full review »

This podcast has enlightened me about the image of women in the fashion industry. Thankfully I am plus size woman who his very comfortable in my skin. I never fell for Victoria’s Secret kool aid.

I enjoyed the production and storytelling and very easy voices to listen to It holds some interest in terms of the rise and fall and rebrand of a business empire in changing times but no real investigative revelations regarding Wexner/Epstein relationship and financial arrangement - just...Read full review »

It’s an interesting expose on VS but a lot of the personal accounts are from women who somehow did not realize using their flesh for money might have very very predictable consequences. I’m sure people expect F1 drivers to drive fast too. But again still interesting.

This is a wild sometime scary and fun ride with lots of twists!

These ladies are legend
ProvocateurMisses via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/22
I hate to be the one to tell you, but lots of young women "LOVED" VS and everything it used to represent. Regardless of men's opinions, we enjoyed feeling beautiful, flirty, feminine & sexy for ourselves ... It was fun and the Brands products actually gave us MORE confidence. I...Read full review »

I’m just here to offset a 1 star reviewer attacking the host for reporting while woman. Good listen, would recommend.

The host is just awful
ETX Monster via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/22
Overall, a wonderful podcast that digs deep into the history of the Victoria’s Secret brand. The podcast focuses and explores how a brand that claimed to be a “paradise for women” instead became a main perpetrator of misogyny. Extremely interesting, and further educated me on the Wexner-Epstein...Read full review »

I truly believe the whole world needs to hear this story. Very well written and spoken! This truth shakes me to my core. Woman should have never been suppressed to begin with… but why in 2022 do women still have to fight for what is morally the correct way to treat a human (whether opposite sex...Read full review »

All about Vanessa and Justine and the horseplay
brendapj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/22
I was intrigued at first to listen to this podcast because I once loved everything Victoria’s Secret. The first few episodes were ok then it’s all about Epstein and his disgusting behavior with the models. I was hoping to get a podcast about VS but instead got one about that awful and disgusting...Read full review »

The story was great but the interruptions from the add breaks annoyed me to the point where I stopped hearing the show for a day and switch to something else.
La_Confiance via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 03/29/22
Tried wedging Epstein in too much. There’s a story there about VS but this wasn’t it. Also, host is annoying with her valley girl speech patterns.
MickO'Hanlon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/22
Meh
The writing lacks smarts and insight. The narrator is corny. The Wexler/Epstein saga has better sources.
the Queen of Fort Greene via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/22
Really enjoyed how this podcast everything from the history of VS, Angels, and did not shy away from the analysis of the influence of sexism, exploitation. Would love to know where to find the theme song - it is super catchy!!
CumeraL via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/21/22
I'm interested in this subject but couldn't finish an episode because of the annoying host. She came off as dismissive and belittling towards the models and their struggles. Won't be continuingRead full review »

F’ing amazing! I binged the whole thing in an afternoon.

Great journalism and interviews!!
CMFLB via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/22
Great podcasting and producing but loses a star because of whoever chose a weight loss ad to go with a podcast that discusses eating orders - tasteless and tactless
Ejayinc via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/13/22
Thank you so much for doing this podcast. I grew up wanting to be like Victoria’s Secret models; gorgeous, happy, everything. I can’t believe the amount of trauma they probably all endured and this opened my eyes. It also made me realize that if I ever wanted to look like then I would have had to...Read full review »

I didn’t expect it to be entirely bashing Victoria’s Secret.I grew up in the era that it exploded and loved it! I still love it! I was crushed when they canceled the Angels program. I would love to see the fashion show continue with mixed body types and mixed genders even. It absolutely had the...Read full review »

I liked this show - interesting deep dive journalism - a big story to tell. It was really jarring and disappointing after dealing with challenging eating disorder and body issues the ads are for a hocum “science” diet and weight loss product.
Hebp242 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/30/22
I loved this podcast, until the weight loss ads. In a podcast that discusses eating disorders and the pressure to lose weight. REALLY?!! It lost all credibility for me at this point.
Saf4455 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/29/22
I loved the dive into the history and the relationship. However the weight loss advertised was kind of a terrible choice. Probably the worst choice of ads to run for this podcast
RoxDouble via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/22
…the ad in the show is for a weight loss product. It’s jarring having heard how hard some of the angels were dieting and exercising to meet the required aesthetic.
The McLordys via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/27/22
Thank you for uncovering a lot of body issues i didn't even realize i survived growing up in the Victoria’s Secret era. This was all such a religion at a critical point in a young woman’s development, I don't think I ever appreciated how much it all tormented me and my relationship with...Read full review »

But actually shocked at how bad the audio editing is.
stinaquentin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/22
I was definitely curious to listen to a documentary but documentaries are supposed to tell you both sides of any story. There shouldn’t be so many adjectives with inflammatory, drama inducing intonation in the writer’s reporting and script. I don’t need your opinion. I just need the facts. Talk...Read full review »

This was a good look into the seedy side of a huge brand. It’s sad to think of the pain behind the glamour and important to know that the physic of these models is something they even struggle with, it’s not natural. An important listen for teenage girls aspiring to the unattainable.
AussieKyz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/13/22
I must’ve listened to thousands of podcasts in the last 15 years. However this one manages to have the worst theme music of any of them. Truly terrible.
Matty666666 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/10/22
Just a wild peek behind the curtain of Victoria’s Secret and how much it played into 90s culture.
Glue&Glitter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/22
Come on man. What does Trump gotta do with it? Is this a Epstein podcast or VS? Has potential.
fjskft via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/22
This is a good podcast with interesting content. However the ads are ridiculous.
tiny8987 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/22
My older sister told me to listen to this. it kept me listening from LA to Arizona. Victoria’s Secret always felt out of alignment to me and I wasn’t wrong.
polit123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/21
First and foremost, what annoyed me most was people who modeled for the company saying Victoria’s Secrets, it’s not plural, it’s Secret. I was a store employee for 9 years and look back with fond memories. We employed all types of people; men, women and all nationalities. I had fun working there....Read full review »

Very good reporting and I think they made good use of 3rd party sources where they didn’t have them first hand. I enjoyed hearing from so many insiders. I think this podcast could have benefitted from longer episodes as the story felt chopped up in such a way which was distracting and with only...Read full review »

I really wanted to like this podcast but the female host who speaks with an inflection after every other word is intolerable to listen to. It sounds like her script is riddled with question marks in all the wrong places. It’s ironic they’re preaching woman empowerment while purposely speaking in...Read full review »
EvaMadden via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/19/21
I had high hopes for this podcast It was kind of all over the place. Good story but jumped around . Any of us that grew up in these times could not possibly be surprised it was a misogynistic run enterprise.
kaydog6969 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/19/21
I had NO IDEA all of this was behind VS 🤭😰 Another amazing production from this team of investigative journalists ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lemayian via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/18/21
I just picked this podcast randomly and ended up loving it. VS has had a dominant place in a lot of women’s lives, including me. I remember their brand influencing me at a young age, the same way the hosts describes. The way they expose this brand and reveal the “man behind the curtain” is...Read full review »
Catbozz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/21
I don’t know if this issue gets better later in the podcast, but 2 episodes in and the audio quality is so bad it actually triggered a migraine. The narration is loud and hollow/tinny, any interviews or recordings are almost a whisper most of the time or have an empty room sound. I’m really...Read full review »
Tanamwob via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/21
Loved this so much! Vanessa and Justine do great work. The overall story is just so insane. How something we wear under our clothes became this thing that tried to control and manipulate (and unfortunately did at times) an entire generation of girls and women! VS in its heyday was a full pendulum...Read full review »
