Famously is a podcast about the wild lives of famous rogues, rockstars and wrong'uns. Each episode looks at the chaotic, scandalous and often self-destructive side of well-known figures. The tone is wry and irreverent, celebrating the messiness of celebrity misbehaviour. The show's tagline puts it simply: we're in the gutter, looking up at the stars.
