The Viall Files Envy Media

- Society & Culture
-
My name is Nick Viall and I host The Viall Files, a podcast that one anonymous reviewer called “surprisingly insightful and substantive.”
The Viall Files explores all things dating and love - from post-breakup healing to salacious texts - in our three (and sometimes four) weekly episodes.
Ask Nick - Every Monday, listeners navigating a challenging yet relatable interpersonal circumstance--from a 2 year situationship to a blowout fight with their mom to a friendship feud to reigniting intimacy after 10 years of marriage--call in for Nick's signature blunt yet compassionate advice. It's ripe with the type of hard truths your friends are too afraid to say, but you're better off for hearing.
Bachelor Recap - We break down this week's episode of the Bachelor, Bachelorette, or Bachelor in Paradise on Tuesdays. This color commentary is full of hot takes, debates, jokes, and the insider knowledge only a former Bachelor can provide. Nick, Ali and Amanda are joined by special celebrity guests--you'd be surprised how many of your favorite actors and comedians are closet bachelor fans.
Freestyle - On Tuesday during the Bachelor "off-season," we dive into the hot-button, zeitgeist topics--the latest celebrity drama, trending reality tv shows, new love song/music video that everyone's obsessed with, and occasionally a months-long highly publicized defamation trial between divorced A-list actors. Our lively discussions include takeaways we can all relate to.
We also have "Texting Office Hours," a segment where we help a caller craft, edit, and press the send button on a nerve-wracking message.
Going Deeper - Every Thursday, a special guest joins the show for a tell-all interview and to discuss their latest project, their philosophies on love and relationships, plus the most relevant pop culture topics. These episodes conclude with our beloved "Texting Office Hours " segment where Nick, the guest, and our co-hosts team up to give advice to a listener on a message they need help writing.
The Update Show - The last Friday of the month, by popular demand (and we mean POPULAR) cliffhangers are resolved and burning questions are answered with updates from our most engaging callers. These much-anticipated follow-ups reveal if the caller took Nick's advice and how everything transpired, providing much-needed resolution to the callers' stories that stole our hearts and attention.

Lindsay Hubbard Speaks
Welcome back to The Viall Files! Today, Summer House’s Lindsay Hubbard joins us to talk about her devastating separation from Carl Radke. In this episode, we get the full timeline from Lindsay, as she walks us through their entire relationship. Moving from friends to fiancés, we break down the steps that lead to Carl breaking off their engagement.
With the finale aired, and the reunion coming up shortly, we’ve learned so much since hearing about the initial breakup. Who was in the right? Did anyone “win” the breakup? Was this for the best? You decide.
“I had to change everything about me to be with him.”

Customer Reviews
Too long
I find that these podcasts are way too long. It kind of feels like the episodes could be broken up. Way too many topics are talked about within one episode. I often fast forwarded until I find the topics that interest me. I enjoy when guests from reality TV join. I think Nick asks hard questions and doesn’t back down which I enjoy. I do think they have too many hosts, I can distinguish who is talking most of the time.
Double Standards
Love the West interview, I thinks he’s so great and funny and love y’all’s banter.
The conversation about people in a relationship being on the same page with drinking or substances is crazy because Nick has such a strong take on couples being on the same page. Saying him and Natalie both don’t drink or do anything like that. When we all know it’s been an issue with how much weed he smokes and Natalie doesn’t. Double standard. Also, it’s funny how Natalie said she’s Never seen Nick drunk, but on Jared’s podcasts when he recapped the wedding he said Nick was the drunkest person there 😂. Just be truthful about stuff.
Omg enough with Lindsey redemption
The Lindsey r demotion is out of control. Stop making excuses for her.
