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. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Adele faces the terrifying threat of losing her voice through high-risk but vital throat surgery. Forced to step out of the limelight to recover, she experiences the more normal life she has been craving. It's a blessing in disguise: Adele falls in love and finds stability. But soon, a new threat looms.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The girl from Tottenham is now a global superstar, but behind the scenes her private life is unravelling. A painful divorce is followed by some devastating news. Both onstage and off, Adele comes to learn an invaluable lesson: sometimes the only way to move forward is to start over.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Journalist and music critic Jude Rogers first interviewed the star right at the beginning of her career. She takes Anna and Emily inside those meetings, from the time the ambitious 19-year-old shared her nervousness about the scrutiny fame would bring, to the shocking moment Adele revealed her “very uncool” role model. Now a global chart-topper, has she changed? And what’s next for the Londoner who conquered America - and the world?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Victoria Beckham has come a long way since her days as a popstar. Now, she’s a style icon with a multi-million pound fashion and beauty empire. But for a long time there wasn’t a single thing Victoria could get right in the eyes of her critics.In this four-part series, we’ll tell the story of how one determined and ambitious young woman hit the big time with her four best friends. But she had to dig deep to uncover the real meaning of girl power, and get the respect she wants and deserves.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Next stop: Paris Fashion Week.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And it’s taking notice, one chic midi dress at a time.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Joe Stone fell in love with the Spice Girls aged nine, went into journalism just so he could meet them and ended up interviewing all five. What he doesn't know about Victoria and her transformation from pop star to fashion designer is, frankly, not worth knowing. Did we mention he has a shrine to her too?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

And there’s only one way to find out.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Zayn is full of doubts after walking away from One Direction. What if leaving 1D was the most stupid decision of his life? What if he'll forever be known as 'the guy who used to be in that band’?

Zayn’s going to do whatever it takes to show his parents - and the world - that he can go it alone.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
From Elvis to the boys of 1D, every megastar needs their fans. In this episode, author and fandom expert Hannah Ewens unpacks the devotion of superfans.
