SHOE ARE YOU? (R), is Miss Meghan’s signature podcast series created and hosted by Meghan herself. It’s Charlie Rose meets House of Style, Cribs meets This American Life — all through the universal lense of the shoe.
The Budget Fashionista, Kathryn Finney, calls it, “fun, dishy and full of shoe tips.”
The New York Daily News says, “it’s just the kind of hard-hitting interview we like.”
Tune in below.
This week on Shoe are You? I chatted with dear friend Kimmi Auerbach, former FOX news producer and author of the recently released, The Devil, The Lovers & Me: My life in tarot, an amazing and touching memoir.
Join us as we chat all things animal totem, LeClic cameras, big hair and what shoes Kimmi wore for her first kiss.

Bonjour mes amours! This week on Shoe are You Miss Meghan chats with
French shoe designer Alexandra Neel. A onetime dancer with the Paris
Opéra, she worked for Celine and Balenciaga before she struck out on her
own. She is particularly known for her corset heel Stieltto creation in
2001 that kicked off her cult status among hardcore fashionistas
worldwide who demanded a little dose of delicate frills with their
sexiness. Continuing on with her amazing designs, look for some major
Alexandra Neel developments in the near future. Merci beaucoup!
From the interview…
Miss Meghan: What kind of shoe do you like to see on men?
Alexandra: On the men it’s no shoes– barefoot! Or motorcycle boots…
My style is more sexy, delicate, but for the men I prefer sporty men.
Alexandra supports UNICEF.

This week on Shoe are You? Miss Meghan chats with singer/song-writer William Tell. The California rocker shares his patchwork of inspiration– from his gospel-singing youth to his alt-rock years with band Something Corporate, you can find a little bit of everything in William. Not surprisingly, he likes to keep his appearance simple with minimalist shoes (what’s with rockers and their minimalist shoes?). The key to his heart, ladies? Appropriate footwear. That’s my kind of man! Be sure to catch his solo record You Can Hold me Down in stores now!
From the interview…
Miss Meghan: What type of shoes do you like to see on the opposite sex?
William: I honestly think heels look fantasic on a girl, especially if she has great legs. It’s always nice to see a girl in heels– even if it’s just with jeans. I dated a girl who would wear heels everywhere, at all times. Literally, you’re going to the beach, she’d have to take her heels off. It’s like, you’re in a bikini!
