Going Rogue

by Radio Free Rhinecliff

Welcome to the ultimate insider's guide to the world of fashion, celebrity, and media—straight from the heart of Vogue. I’m Jill Demling and for nearly two decades I was the Entertainment Director of Vogue. I've booked over 200 American Vogue covers, 30 covers for British Vogue, and more than 50 covers worldwide. That's nearly 300 covers that shaped pop culture, defined fashion, and captured the zeitgeist. But those perfect images? They're just the tip of the iceberg. "Going Rogue" is your backstage pass to the moments that never made it to print. The stories from the photographers who captured magic, the stylists who created iconic looks, and the writers who know every secret. You'll hear about the celebrities, the shoots that almost didn't happen, and the untold drama behind fashion's most memorable moments. Remember "The Devil Wears Prada"? That fictional 11-month snapshot? I was there for the real story—I even hired the person the book was based on and appear on page 21 of the book. But this isn't about one story. It's about hundreds of stories, from someone who was on the inside. This podcast is not an exposé, it's a celebration of the brilliant people behind the scenes that made all the famous moments possible at Vogue. It isn't just a podcast about fashion. It's about creativity, ambition, art, and the human stories behind the images that helped define a generation. We'll reveal how the talents behind these shoots got their start, and they'll share masterclass-level advice for a new generation of stylists, photographers, and creatives looking to make their mark. We're going behind the scenes of a world most people only glimpse through glossy pages and red carpet moments. Are you ready to go rogue with me?

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The Grace Coddington episode had me hooked! I’ve been reading Vogue since I was 16 and I love hearing the behind the scenes stories. Jill does an amazing job of asking the right questions.

Slimkd · Aug 2025

Jonathan is hilarious. And you get to hear the juicy celebrity secrets that he couldn’t include in his cover stories for Vogue. The Britney Spears story was the best and only on Going Rogue would you ever get to hear it.

Jill Dem55 · May 2025

A fun trip down memory lane. I wish the host would explain more about her guests’ special talents and what makes them I stand out.
