“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.”
