Fashion People - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Lauren is so well spoken and very direct. She has amazing taste in guests and is able to tailor the show to make each guest feel comfortable and heard. She is very very knowledgeable on so many aspects of the fashion world and is a joy to listen to as an 18 year old who intents to peruse the fashion business in college. ❤️❤️

Most of the guests and conversations on this pod are great. I enjoy the deep dives and “niche” conversations. I’m not in the fashion industry, and still really enjoy listening. That said, guests’ audio is inconsistent. Some weeks it’s great, other weeks it’s quite hard to understand what the person is saying.

Every episode is exactly like this:
Lauren to the guest: “So what do you think of this? Well here’s MY opinion…” and then she talks and talks and doesn’t allow the guest to respond appropriately and if they do, it’s always like one word answers or they sound tired because she’s done going on her word vomit. She needs to take a backseat and let her guests talk. If she wants to just talk openly, don’t invite guests.

I appreciate the mix of guests and topics on this podcast and I always learn something new about the fashion industry. But please, Lauren, can you let your guests talk? So often you ramble or ask these very leading questions! I’d love for the guests voices to shine a bit more in the interview portions of the show.

I love idea of this podcast and WANT this podcast to succeed but please will someone ask Lauren to stop talking over guests, answering the questions she asks the guests herself, and giving us a rambling rundown of all her purchases in
her entire lifetime apropos of nothing! Great guests, great topics. I’d love for Lauren to be a great host! Latest episode in which Rory Satran is asked a question and 20 minutes later still hasn’t been given room to answer it is unbelievable. WTH?!!

I agree with other reviewers that too often, Sherman centers herself in interviews, and speaks over guests. It’s repetitive (we’ve heard the same anecdotes multiple times!) and it comes off as ungracious, especially when coupled with her refusal to learn to pronounce the names of big, known industry names (Blazy!). Hire someone to write down pronunciation for you…after a certain point it does seem deliberate.
