So much wrong
On top of these people giving out so many wrong facts and details, they are now supporting Karen Read. Don’t waste your time on these people.

Just so good
This podcast and Vanessa have been so good for so long.

Well alright
I do enjoy the content discussed however the voices of the female hosts are a smidge too LA for me. It’s a little distracting but tolerable in small doses.

Misinformation
Have only listened to one episode and there are several mistakes (wrong geographic details, incorrect information, etc). Double check your sources and take everything they say with a huge grain of salt!

Too many ads
Episodes constantly appear in my feed that are just trailers for the same Vogue podcast. It’s so annoying, I’m about to unfollow the show forever which sucks cause it’s a great podcast. STOP IT PLEASE

Hard to Listen
I can’t stand the voice of this so-called fashion editor and the tone of her talk. Plus there is no substance in her talk.
Please choose your guess wisely.

good stuff
keep it up. and anyone that says “politics aren’t appreciated” in reviews? tell them to F off. it’s your show. if they are losers who don’t get the stakes and waste their time blasting you instead of doing something more positive, they are wastes. thanks for the podcast.

Politics isn’t appreciated
The last episode on Epstein deals with Andrew and the author of the book about Andrew. The author throws out Trump’s name a few times without providing anything beyond speculation and unattributed hearsay. Yet, no mention of Bill Clinton. Won’t be buying his book.

Great podcast!
i'm a long time listener. really love the topics and guests. plus, the hosts are a perfect combination of professional, intelligent and witty.
my one complaint? the recent Oprah promos. my app is set to auto-play sequentially. i'll be falling asleep, only to be startled awake! not by the soothing voice of Vanessa. but the Ex-Queen Bee of Day Time TV. i can only pray that our long, national nightmare will soon be over.

What the f!?
The Prince Andrew episode was an insult. You went from having interesting takes and close interviews with pop culture phenomenons. To leaning in to British tabloids.

Sound quality is awful
The sound quality for the Uber episode is unbearable. How can "Sony Music" put their name on this audio? Doesn't anyone QC the episodes before uploading them? The episodes topics are hit and miss for me and I agree with some reviews here that the hosts many times don't provide a fresh perspective and just repeat information that is known already.

Conversational narcissist
Almost any and every episode Vanessa is in she finds a way to make it about herself and her experiences. You would think Natalie didn’t exist the way Vanessa goes on about herself whenever they cohost an episode together. It seems like Vanessa uses every opportunity to tell us about her illustrious career, all while gushing and fan girling. I just know I can’t be the only person who couldn’t care less about her once working for Rolling Stone. She has ruined the show for me.

This was awful! How can they even discuss his meltdowns without discussing Diddy? they barely mentioned it! How irresponsible.

The sound quality of this show is terrible.

Lazy investigative journalism
This podcast just takes whatever hot documentary is streaming on Netflix or HBO at the moment and makes it into a podcast. Hardly ever new information or new perspectives.

Guest’s vocal fry
Lila Shapiro’s vocal fry and affectations are so grating that I had to turn off the Neil Gaiman episode.
Saralicious45678
Shameful
I thought this would be a real look at the shooting but it’s just a love note to Baldwin and his wife pretending to honor a human being who died. I’m so glad you enjoyed their reality show.

OK
Hosts seem to veer off track and/or fail to do deep research. Often I already know the info. they present. They don’t offer any new insights.
Pamrev
Nope
I’ve tried to listen but the host and guests are too one sided when discussing the subject or the podcast.

Good grief—do better!
One of the worst podcasts that has the opportunity to be good, but no…

Kid Rock
Just because kid Rock is worth 1 star. Another greedy rich guy who think women are property.

Great “Kid Dork” Interview
I just HAD to review the Kid Rock episode-“simp-ly”excellent, and totally accurate! Been screaming about what a lame, fake, racist clown show his real life also is forever! Definitely NOT just an act. He’s seriously just a bone rider, and always will be. Also, Uncle Tom(the racist name is actually fake, but still by design)-as your butler though? NOT cool. Big boo for real on that tip…. But, the bright side however, was the gentleman who wrote the Rolling Stone story. He was very insightful and honest, which is what makes a great writer. Overall, well done!!!

A measured thinker
Really want to like
All the topics interesting, and have listened for years but I don't think I can continue. The telling of them is so bad. The stories jump all over the place without making connections. I often can't tell that the next episode in a series was a continuation of a previous episode because it will just pick up a different persons story and go on about it without relating it back to anything. And when a series finishes I am often left wondering what happened and expecting more parts because so many lose ends were left open. It is a very frustrating podcast to listen to, and I usually find myself googling the story after just to actually get a sense of what actually happened.
And the past few months they are pushing the recommendations too hard. I do not want 3 "you might also like" episodes every week when I only get 1 episode a week that is the actual show.
And the ads are out of control. I get that you need ads, but 5-6 ad breaks in a 25 min show is INSANE. That is more ads that show at this point.

Ugh the narrator’s voice 🤮
This podcast is so bad it’s almost like it’s a parody, except it’s not.

SNORING
I have been loving these episodes and the reporting but I’m listening to the girl boss episode and someone is audibly snoring in the background. She apologizes for the noise at first but then allows it to continue. I had to turn it off- how unprofessional and odd not to address/correct. It’s so uncomfortable I thought I was hearing things at first.

The funnest
Maybe not the funniest but the funnest. Pretend is similar.

Well Researched & Well Told
I enjoy listening to this podcast when I’m by myself walking or driving. Rspecially since I’ve turned off on the current political scene!
It’s a very good diversion.

Silly & Unprofessional
The silliness and constant giggling presents as SO unprofessional.

Frustrating volumes
I like this podcast, the hosts and the content, however, the varying volume levels are so frustrating. When the hosts are all discussing together, the volume for each host will be different, some normal and some much much quieter. Also, the interviewer’s volume will be very quiet but the interviewee’s volume will be normal and vice versa. I wish someone would regulate these better in editing.

Inconsistent Audio
Good content, but the audio would go from hardly audible to very loud depending who was talking or transitions. I would have to turn it up just to hear some parts only to have my ear drum blown out a minute later

Lululemon story was interesting to a point but
After hearing 3 episodes, a 4th restating Lulu Lemons’s retail workforce ‘s striving was way too much.
Could_not_watch_this_movie
Good until the “joke”
This felt like a solid piece of journalism—straight to the point, without the editorial bias that many true crime podcasts have. That is, until episode 4, when the host laughs at a joke made by a former Lululemon employee about not killing someone.

Trying too hard
Listened to a few episodes which were mostly ok. I’ve heard the stories before from other content creators and Infamous stays pretty surface. Landed on the Blake lively and Justin Baldoni episode and realized just how surface they are with their research. If you want entertainment they will give you the big stories through the perspective of wealthy liberal women. If you’re looking for nuance and deep research, look elsewhere.

Heavily Biased
I found this podcast because of their Ruby Franke series - which I actually thought was excellently researched and reported. However, I then listened to their episode on Lively v Baldoni, and then listened to the Lulu Lemon Murder series. And that will be the last one I listen to. The Lulu Lemon murder case wasn’t a result of “institutionalized racism” in the US, economic disparities or manipulative corporate culture, all of which this series suggests. The Lulu Lemon murder happened because a deeply mentally ill sociopath and kleptomaniac - who just happened to also be a young, MIDDLE CLASS black woman - got caught stealing from the store and decided she’d rather kill another human being than deal with the consequences of her actions. The aggressive agenda pushing in this podcast comes off as just being a hair’s breath shy of blaming the victim. It also suggests that we really shouldn’t blame Brittany Norwood for brutally murdering her co-worker, or for pretending to be a victim herself, and then for good measure insinuated what happened to her was a hate crime (even though she made sure to tell the police that the white, racist perps let her live because she was better looking than her co-worker) because what can you expect from a young woman of color who never felt like she measured up. And WHY did she feel that way? Society. Corporate greed. Bad, evil America. When coupled with their sloppy, biased reporting on Lively v. Baldoni, it’s clear that these “journalists” are more about pushing their agenda than reporting objective, factual news.

Infamous
Here is a show that takes 45-60 minutes of content and stretches it out for 2-3 hours. I don’t hear actual research or work. If they are doing research they are not highlighting it. Listen to Pretend or others for better work.

Would like to give more stars!!!
New listener. Reporting that catches you and working with real reporters and interviews. If you listen though the podcast doesn't report in order. I enjoy the podcast but look into more than this as a source. I can't stress that enough, don't rely on this as your "news" source!

Terrible journalism
Absolutely lost me after the episode of the Blake and Justin case. How dare you say he may have to give the right over to her for her to make the sequel! There was so many other wrong things you said. I highly suggest you do your research, look into the FACTS of this case and maybe even listen to Candace Owen’s coverage of this case. Will not be returning to this podcast.

Entertaining and Informative
These episodes are always well researched and easy to listen to stories about some really awful events. Excellent journalists and I love the British accent of the narrator.
