From businessmen to politicians at the highest levels, Epstein broke bread with them all. Yet for years the Legacy media and the rest of high society looked the other way and ignored his behavior as multiple women came forward with allegations of abuse. Even after he was convicted and subsequently received a sweetheart deal those same so called elites welcomed him back with open arms. Now after his death and the arrest of Maxwell, the real story is starting to come together and the curtain has begun to be drawn back and what it has revealed is truly disturbing. From Princes to Ex Presidents, the cast of scoundrels in this play spans continents and political affiliations leaving us with a transcontinental criminal conspiracy possibly unlike any we have ever seen before. In this podcast we will explore all of the levels of Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal enterprise. From his most trusted assistants to obscure associates, we will leave no stone unturned as we swim through the muck searching for clarity and answers to some of the most pressing questio…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T16:18:16.653536+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394"},"episode":{"title":"Mega Edition:  Author Michael Gross And The Day He Spent With Jean Luc Brunel (7/25/26)","slug":"mega-edition-author-michael-gross-and-the-day-he-spent-with-jean-luc-brunel-7-25-26","published_at":"2026-07-25T07:30:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/mega-edition-author-michael-gross-and-the-day-he-spent-with-jean-luc-brunel-7-25-26","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/mega-edition-author-michael-gross-and-the-day-he-spent-with-jean-luc-brunel-7-25-26--73115692","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/73115692/megamichaelgrossbrunel.mp3","summary":"Author Michael Gross recalled spending a deeply unsettling day and night with Jean-Luc Brunel while researching his 1995 book about the modeling industry. Gross conducted one of the few lengthy interviews Brunel ever gave, questioning him about allegations that he sexually abused young models and about his cocaine use. Brunel denied the accusations and minimized his drug problem, but Gross said his explanations were barely credible. Throughout the encounter, Gross was struck by Brunel’s arrogance, his control over the young women around him and the atmosphere of fear surrounding models who depended upon him for work and housing. Gross said the most disturbing portion came later, when he accompanied Brunel and two young models through Paris. One of the women showed Gross an apartment connected to Brunel where a hidden peephole had allegedly been drilled through a wall so someone could watch women inside the bathroom. Gross described the models as frightened and vulnerable, despite occasionally laughing or attempting to treat the situation casually. When Brunel eventually drove away with one of the women, Gross asked whether she would be safe; although she answered yes, he said the fear in her eyes suggested otherwise. The encounter left Gross with the impression that Brunel operated a predatory system in which young women’s ambitions, isolation and financial dependence could be used against them. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support .","meta_description":"Author Michael Gross recalled spending a deeply unsettling day and night with Jean-Luc Brunel while researching his 1995 book about the modeling industry.…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3156,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/episodes/mega-edition-author-michael-gross-and-the-day-he-spent-with-jean-luc-brunel-7-25-26/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles-4089394/mega-edition-author-michael-gross-and-the-day-he-spent-with-jean-luc-brunel-7-25-26.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
