About The Vanishing of Vivian Maier Podcast
The Vanishing of Vivian Maier is a documentary podcast about beauty, discovery, and what happens when art outlives the artist. Hosted by photographer and storyteller Teresa Porter, the series traces how Vivian Maier, a quiet Chicago nanny with a Rolleiflex camera, became one of the most celebrated street photographers of the 20th century — but only after her work was discovered in unpaid storage units.
Through verified records, firsthand accounts, and interviews with those who brought her work to light, this podcast explores Maier’s discovery, the collectors who preserved her legacy, and the legal battles that followed. Subscribe for episodes that uncover how something so beautiful became so complicated.
