The Mysterious Mr. Epstein

by Wondery
7,532

We now know that Jeffrey Epstein was a sexual predator. He was also accused of fraud, embezzlement, coercion and more. But for most of his life, he was a mystery to the public, and to many of the people who knew him. In this six part series, we peel back the layers of Epstein’s life to detail his financial and sexual crimes, and his network of enablers, with original reporting and interviews. From humble beginnings, Epstein came to amass significant wealth which he used to buy sex, social status, silence, even justice —until money wasn’t enough. From Wondery (“Dirty John”, “The Shrink Next Door”), and hosted by Lindsay Graham (“American Scandal”).

    Great podcast
    Clinton was not left out like some of these idiot Trumpers are claiming. Epstein hung out with both Clinton and Trump and the podcast covers both.

    Great podcast
    Don’t listen to this whiny trumpers. Lindsay does it again. Well researched. Great podcast. Highly recommended for everyone.

    Top-notch research and excellent presentation! Definitely listen!!
    I am VERY picky about podcasts and I positively DEVOURED this one in one day! It’s a fascinating and unflinching- not to mention horrifying!- post-mortem of Epstein’s life, crimes, and ultimate death. Each episode fearlessly strips away the mountains of excuses and “buck-passing” of those who should and could have stopped the monster and lays bare the legal/judicial failings and free passes, financial shell games, extortion, and intricate web of political and personal grooming, manipulation, pay-offs, pattern of trading favors with those in power, and careful coercive control employed by Epstein to amass his fortune and gain his “Untouchable” status. The importance of this examination cannot be overstated! While the subject matter is often difficult to listen to, he is always respectful of the survivors of Epstein’s reprehensible crimes and we need to know how this happened in order to ensure that it never happens again, and it’s plain that THAT is the mission of this podcast. The narration is engaging, -he doesn’t go off on too many tangents but he does interject at some points with appropriate comments that you’re almost certainly thinking yourself (for example, if there’s a quote from someone who’s lying through their teeth, he’ll say something like, “COME ON! We ALL know that’s a lie!”)- fast-paced, always clear, and easy to follow. With the energy of a drama, you will almost definitely be yelling at whichever device you’re using to listen to this podcast at pretty much every twist and turn!! I HIGHLY recommend this podcast, both for those who followed the story as it unfolded, as well as those who are thinking, “Jeffery who?” Absolute 10/10 from me!

    Epstein didn’t..
    Kill himself
  • JUtah31
    Tainted information
    Another example of people being obsessed with including Trump in every topic. Enough.
  • MMiche!!e
    Amazing and personally horrifying.🕊️
    Ep 7 is real!!!
  • oofivypopo
    Listen
    Listen, just try it if you are just trying to get a broad sense of what happened with short, informational podcast then try this one. I love Linsey Gram and the story telling is great. So if you are looking for a deep dive that goes over every detail then try something else.
  • blingitonbella
    Agenda
    I’m a fan of Lindsey Graham BUT, Very disappointed that Men involved aka Clinton / Hollywood were left out! Trump had very limited interaction as opposed to Gates and Clinton and he is mentioned repeatedly hmmmm - very very disappointed to see the “agenda” at work here!
  • IrishOne1!
    Not worth it
    Starts out excellent then you have to pay, and content promptly goes into the toilet. Mostly hearsay and opinions, not data, from then on. The woman in session 7 is awful. It’s as if you’re listening to a high school student/school newspaper reporter. (I think I should get a refund of 25c for every time she said “like”….) Lastly, politics plays a more prominent role than it should. It’s fine to bash Trump, but what about Clinton? What about all the other CEOs and billionaires? You referenced them dozens of time but never said who, or what they did, save Elon Musk. The liberal elite have to finger wag…. I would have really appreciated a deep dive into the national security aspect of the story, not just one former FBI agent’s opinion. Disappointing Lindsay.
  • TBled91
    Disappointed
    It was interesting, however, I am not impressed with how you were sure to mention Trump numerous times but were very limited with your Clinton mentions. I am not a Trump fan and obviously neither are you. I can see how it affected your story here. No mention of the painting of Clinton.
  • FYOU420
    Money for Nothing
    And here I thought I would LOVE Wondery. Nope. Just another group of people benefiting from Jeff Epstein. If putting the truth out there was the most important thing… You would’nt be charging people hard earned money that they most likely work tireless hours to support their families & use your platform to help them get thru that grueling work day/night. If you are not going to allow listeners to enjoy the full shows, then STOP trying to bait ppl into paying you for information they can get elsewhere.
  • Jbravo002
    Thank God I listen to this before the subscriptions kicked in
    Once was free and now you have to pay for it another podcast to delete
  • Sick of subscriptions
    Pay? No thanks!
    Could be something interesting here if listeners weren’t asked to pay to listen. Another subscription app isn’t what we need. All episodes should be free. If the real purpose is to expose Epstein and his accomplices, everyone should have access to this information. Don’t be greedy Wondery!
  • Wandererwhoisnotlost
    Bait and switch
    Great job covering a lot of the details left out in shorter versions however it’s essentially only two podcasts long….Unless you want to join their subscription service that they don’t tell you about till episode 3.
  • Mya.07
    Deceitful
    1) You should make it clear that the rest of it is not free - don’t bait and switch. Who decided from your team that a few dollars are worth your listeners deep disappointment. 2) The writing is not gripping and is hard to follow - has a feeling of a kid telling you about their day.
  • Okay Curt
    Good not great
    Two of the eight episodes are free and then you must pay. I’m able to use my free trial to finish it, but I don’t think it was worth paying for. Pretty obvious they are trying to use this story to make money off of. Grifting. Guess that’s the nature of some of these podcasts; short on information, long on advertising. Good surface level information and at least they touch on the conspiracy surrounding his death. I doubt anything will come of it. The people that murdered Epstein will never be held accountable; just like the people who enabled him and benefited from his perversion.
  • abedwrn
    Y’all can’t give up Trump
    Two minutes in and already there’s Trump trashing. I don’t love the guy but this is pathetic. Unsubscribing to Wondery. Y’all ruin so many potentially great podcasts by needlessly interjecting politics. Get a life.
  • Momma the Cool
    Episode 7
    Worst person to interview. How is this woman a journalist? I could not stand to listen to her voice, her cadence and the overall tone were awful.
  • ChristinaA298
    Time for a break up
    Wondery you were my go to for podcasts. Key word… were. I’m not paying to listen. Sorry
  • laura4bee88
    Disappointing pay wall
    I love a lot of the Wondery content and would not paying a small subscription fee but their fee structure is insane and there are way too many terrible ads. It’s almost as bad as listening to network TV or ESPN. Lost another customer Wondery. Congrats.
  • kawarimono21
    Episodes do not match descriptions
    There seems to be something wrong with the organization of this podcast. Multiple episodes do not match their descriptions, and there seem to be episodes missing. Could’ve been really interesting, but it’s just confusing…
  • 4896Mercedes
    Great Podcast
    I listen to a lot of podcasts. This is interesting and informative. Epstein was sick, and a predator.
  • EasyNotCheap
    Way too many ads
    While the content is engaging and well presented, the unbelievable number of commercials is disappointing. This channel is usually pretty reasonable, but with this show, it almost feels like they’re taking a page out of Mr. E’s book to make money.
  • arrow vs flash
    Pathetic
    You have to pay for episodes and considering they are 15 minutes or less, it’s filled with half ads. Just don’t do the podcast if this is how it has to be.
  • 27JamieG27
    Super disappointing
    I cannot believe that there’s a fee to listen to the podcast! Don’t put free ones on the podcast & then show that there are others ONLY if you pay!!! This is awful! I’m super disappointed that Wondery has chosen this route. Truthfully there are tons of commercials during each episode so why would you now have all these special episodes shown for people who pay? Guess it’s more about the money?
  • SKipperKipper
    Finally went and did it
    Subscription fee? Yeah, I’m done now. I’ve been a big fan of wondery up until now. So disappointing.
  • Lolapaints
    Not Netflix
    The content on Wondery can be excellent or mediocre. For a bit more money I could get a streaming service with tons more content. This is a joke. BTW, I’d pay $1 or $2 a month for podcasts, but ya’ll have lost the plot and lost another listener. Good luck with your bad choice.
  • Mrs.Jones08
    Oh wow.
    Came to check out and just read the reviews to find you have to pay for it now…sucks. Won’t be listening anymore. Not worth that.
  • MS_KL
    Meh
    Not paying for 15 min of content lol. Good one wondery
  • Sunnyd1102
    Fool me once.
    And I really liked Wondery podcasts. SMH…
  • Mrsmerle
    Couldn’t finish series.
    Sheisty move.
  • pdovba
    Major Ripoff
    Just another sly attempt for another subscription.
  • dustin2_0
    Bait and switch
    See above reviews
  • TèiTèi
    Scam to buy
    Disappointing. As a huge fan of Wondery- I expected better and now won’t listen to any other items from you.
  • Beach2092
    Paywall
    First two episodes free then Wondery wants you to pay for the rest. If you’re not going to offer it for free just be upfront about it.
  • gpd209
    Missing episodes - behind a paywall?
    I was only able to download 2 episodes. At first I thought they were still producing/releasing episodes. Now I see it’s part of a bait & switch scheme. I’m surprised Apple tolerates this.
  • Anon14577492
    This story should be free
    See above
  • Saveyourmoney leave the app
    Where are the rest?
    You really want me to subscribe to a paid subscription service to listen to episodes three thru eight? Y’all not that special. Literally just search Epstein and you can pick any other podcast and do a better job. What a waste of my time.
  • kbrack90
    Trash to make you pay to listen to the full story..
    It is not cool to make you have to pay and subscribe to Wondrys app and podcast to listen to all of the episodes. I already pay apple enough money, and now to hear you tell stories, I have to pay while others tell it for free? No thanks. That’s dumb, and a rip off.
  • AlaskaMark
    Thanks Apple
    If Wondery wants to give us two episodes only and then switch us over to their pay service that is fine. But I fault Apple for not letting us know upfront that this is going to happen. Why would Apple allow only two episodes to be available? This is why I stick with trusted news organizations for my true crime podcasts and not for-profit production companies.
  • Hcc1980
    Can’t listen
    What a mess. Can’t listen to all episodes in the series without jumping across multiple platforms (apple, Spotify, wondery site). When your business model is to get listener streams so you can sell ads and collect data, gotta do better to make sure people can even find you.
  • metubh
    Here we go again
    Once again the Epstein story is stopped before we get the entire picture. Did the production on this get suisided too? Or scared? Or threatened? Might as well just delete this podcast because it literally stops 1/10th of way in. Either way I guess we will never really find someone brave enough to tell the world the whole story.
  • The312
    Too many commercial interruptions
    Good story but way too many commercial interruptions which disturb the flow. Couldve been shortened to 2 episodes
  • MomoOTG
    Abrupt end?
    Good but What happened? This podcast stopped in the middle of telling the story. That’s ridiculous you should at least post a podcast letting your followers know that you’re not going to be posting anymore. Otherwise we will not follow the originator and all the rest of their podcasts because I assume they will all end the same way.
  • ccfghbnm,lp
    Sign up for wonders plus?
    I want to listen to the rest of the Jeffrey Epstein podcast. How can ?
  • ShayLKW
    AbruptlyEnded
    This was a pretty good podcast (coming from someone who doesn't really enjoy podcasts), but it abruptly ended. Lots of commercials which were annoying. Are there more episodes to come?
  • zahid buttar
    what happened to the reat of this podcast?
    Was there supposed to be more?
  • JimmyGymGym
    Don’t Bother
    They give you the first two episodes for free and then try to get you to pay for the rest.
  • Houstess
    Incomplete series
    Only 2 episodes available.
  • Zeke5100
    Only two episodes?
    Where are the rest of the episodes? This podcast is very well done and interesting and I would have given it a five star rating if there were more episodes. I felt like I was just left with an unfinished story.
