  • Wouldn’t you love to be a famous? Money. Red carpets. Adoring fans. Did we mention the money? But you’re also on a tightrope. Because when everyone’s watching, you’re only one misstep away from it all going terribly wrong. It’s like Rihanna said: there's a long way to fall when you're so far from earth. Join hosts Anna Leong Brophy and Emily Lloyd-Saini on Wondery’s Terribly Famous, as they tell the stories of our most iconic stars. After all, it’s fun to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes – especially when they’re Manolos.

    Loving Adele | London Girl | 1
    Jul 31 2023

    Welcome to Terribly Famous, a new podcast from Wondery which takes you right inside the lives of our most iconic stars. Over this first series, we’ll uncover the rocky road to super-stardom of Britain’s home-grown diva, Adele.

    She’s a cheeky London girl with an infectious laugh and a potty mouth. She’s inspired by trauma and heartbreak to write songs. And she’s inspired by stars like Etta James and Nina Simone to sing them. But when her talent makes her a sensation almost overnight, she has to find a way to keep the sensitivity that connects her to her fans from becoming a vulnerability that could destroy her.

    Aug 7 2023

    Adele is on the rise, turning heartbreak into hits. She’s already a household name in the UK and now she’s on her way in the US too. It’s a sensational journey, what she’d dreamed of as a kid. But fame - especially when it came so fast and is carrying her so far - brings both gifts and problems. Can she stay grounded and give her fans the music they crave? It’s a lot for one girl to manage but she’s not doing too badly. Until a catastrophe threatens to derail everything.
