| 7/28/26 | My Grandfather Was a Mob Boss: Jackie Orena’s Fight to Bring “Little Vic” Home | 🎧 Want more Miss Understood? Join us on Patreon for exclusive bonus episodes, behind-the-scenes conversations, extended interviews and more. Visit the Miss Understood Patreon and become a member today. To the world, Victor “Little Vic” Orena became known as a powerful figure in New York’s Colombo crime family. To Jackie Orena, he was simply her grandfather. Jackie joins Rachel for a deeply personal conversation about growing up with the Orena name, the moment she realized her family wasn’t like everyone else’s, and why she has dedicated herself to fighting for her grandfather after more than three decades behind bars. Now elderly and suffering from serious health problems, Orena remains incarcerated—and Jackie is asking a difficult question: At what point should punishment give way to compassion? Rachel doesn’t shy away from the other side of the story. She challenges Jackie on her grandfather’s conviction, the victims connected to the case, whether Jackie is arguing for his innocence or simply asking for mercy, and how she responds to people who believe she was too young to understand the man her grandfather was accused of being. Jackie also reveals what she would say if she had five minutes with President Trump, why every rejection has made her fight harder, and whether her advocacy will continue even after her grandfather is gone. This isn't just a conversation about organized crime. It's about what happens when the person the world knows from headlines is the person you simply know as family. --- --- --- PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!: ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Follow Rachel on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=en Follow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitel Email us pr@missumedia.com Executive Producer: George Carmona Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

| 7/24/26 | The Man Behind The Asher House Dog Sanctuary: Lee Asher’s Story, Told in Full | With Lee Asher back in the news following the recent attention surrounding Velveteen, I wanted to bring back one of my favorite interviews. For those who aren’t familiar with him, Lee is the founder of The Asher House and one of the most influential voices in animal rescue today. Nearly 3 million people follow his work across Instagram and YouTube as he documents the realities of rescuing animals and running a sanctuary. Years ago, I interviewed Lee for Miss Understood. At the time, we released the conversation in two separate episodes. We’ve never published it as one complete interview—until now. The interview was recorded well before the recent Velveteen story, so it isn’t about the current headlines. This is a candid conversation about Lee’s childhood, how he built The Asher House, why he devoted his life to rescue, and what it’s really like caring for so many animals every day. One of the most fascinating parts of our conversation is Lee’s honest perspective on running an animal sanctuary. The biggest challenge often isn’t the animals—it’s the people. We talk about the emotional toll, public expectations, criticism, and the realities of rescue work that most people never see. Whether you’ve followed Lee for years or you’ve only recently discovered him because of the Velveteen story, this is the full interview you’ve never heard in one place.

| 3/28/26 | What “Love Story” Got Wrong: Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s Friend Reacts After the Finale | Everyone has now seen the ending.The final episode of Love Story brought Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr.’s story back into the spotlight — and with it, a new wave of opinions, assumptions, and debates about who they were behind closed doors.After our first conversation went viral, I sat down again with Guy Clark — someone who actually knew Carolyn — to talk about what the series got right… and what it didn’t.Now that the full story has played out on screen, this conversation goes deeper.What you’ll hear in this episode: • Guy’s honest reaction to the Love Story finale • What felt accurate — and what felt completely off • The biggest misconception about Carolyn that still persists • What their relationship was really like in private • How the ending compares to what people who knew them actually experienced • Why the public still doesn’t fully understand herThis isn’t a recap of the show.It’s a response to it.If you watched the series and are still asking yourself what was real — this is the conversation that answers it.--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!: ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/Follow Rachel on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: George Carmona | — | ||||||
