This was a great listen! A great array of interviews and just enough context to keep it relevant and focused.

Well produced, great sources

I found this podcast very interesting… the backstory of Victoria’s Secret (business beginnings and models’ experiences) is very interesting. I enjoyed a break from the guts and gore that seem so prevalent. It’s not free from some disturbing experiences that women have experienced at the hands of creepy and criminally inappropriate men, yet it’s also insightful! I’m surprised with the lower reviews.

Something different!

I really enjoyed this. touches on the same elements as the hulu documentary, but gives a deeper dive on the impact to popular culture.

well written, well researched, compelling delivery

There’s a lot here that could have been great, but this podcast is kind of all over the place and lacks a true through line or focus. I found the episode about the rise of more inclusive lingerie brands the most interesting, but even that got bogged down in other nonsense. They interview great experts - a VS Angel, Cora Harrington, Jenna Lyons - but even those interviews felt disjointed and not substantial. I was particularly disturbed by the unfounded allegations about the VS CEO having an affair with Jeffrey Epstein - they kept coming back to this supposed gay relationship (to explain…something?) without any proof. That felt gross.

Could have been great

I made sure to listen to all the episodes and it just didn't get any better. There was very little scandal, very little wrongdoings, But they tried so hard to try and find villains in the shadows. The line in the last episode where they source a YouTube video of a model crying about how hard the industry is the peak bs. They specifically say "I don't think they were talking about Victoria's Secret, but..." So yeah, the model wasn't talking about VS, but they just try and tie it to the situation. That's what all the episodes were like. Very weak tea water.
