Brigitte Bako

Host Brigitte Bako has starred in movies, written hit shows, and survived Hollywood with only minor emotional scarring—but there’s one saboteur who’s been with her the whole time: her vagina. In this fearless, funny, and sometimes filthy podcast, Brigitte revisits the wildest misadventures of her career, relationships, and sex life—guided (and misled) by her most unreliable co-pilot, her vagina. From choosing bad movie roles based on hot actors, to visiting Parisian sex clubs in Spanx, to realizing her vagina may have officially retired without telling her—this is Lies My Vagina Told Me. Part memoir, part therapy, part cautionary tale—and all inappropriate in the best possible way.
