Top Model Rewind with Alex and Danielle

I loved ANTM back in the day (and it’s still fun to cringe and rewatch) so when I found this podcast I was so happy. I love the hosts commentary, and appreciate the fact that they both bring up the cringy, problematic things that happened on ANTM. It’s important to recognize these while discussing the bad hair styles they give the girls etc. I also highly appreciate the human rights/political “soap box” moments. I lose respect for podcasts that just pretend everything is fine and there’s nothing going on in the world. Please keep it up, I’m only on S4 but will continue my rewatch. Fun fact: I’m a retired vet tech so I love that one of the hosts is a vet tech, I never hear anyone in that role on podcasts, show, etc. I hope you have nothing but nice clients and receive great food (other than pizza) and a pay raise because vet techs are the MVP of the industry.

If you enjoyed watching ANTM back in the day and want to relive all the makeovers, photo shoots, girl fights, judges, guest judges, trips abroad then you need to start listening today. Listening to Alex and Danielle feels like being with your best friends and I’m always wanting to jump into the conversation with them. They celebrate the good times on ANTM and are not afraid to call out the missteps. It’s such a fun listen!!

Love this podcast so much. As someone with a near encyclopedic knowledge of ANTM and a desire for deep dives on all of my favorite topics I love Alex and Danielle’s passion for the show the comes through in every episode. Their friendship reminds me of me and my best friend since high school who also loves the show. I feel like I’m having a convo with close friends friends every time I listen. No notes!

I started listening to this as I went back and watched each cycle. There are a few recap podcasts out there but this is my favorite. They spill current ANTM tea about former contestants but it’s not in a gossip-y or catty way, even when that tea is piping HOT. They regard the contestants as humans first, models second, and they look at the show critically from a post 2020 lens which is interesting. They do a full recap of each week’s photos and even give some behind the scenes tidbits about things that happened in the episodes that we didn’t know about until today. I’m a big fan of this podcast and both Alex and Danielle have an excellent way of talking about how this show impacted so many of us at a young age and how the conversations around ANTM and the 2000s modeling industry are still important to have today. Also, they’re fun and relatable and always ready to call out some of the more ridiculous parts of this show. Listening to each recap after an episode is awesome!
