Earlier this month, American gymnast Simone Biles was featured on the cover of Vogue US. The images received backlash online for “bad lighting”, and some comments raised questions about why a black photographer with more experience of photographing black skin wasn't used. But Vogue US told The Next Episode that there was a lot of positive feedback from the audience and from Simone herself.

Hosted by Linda Adey.

Soundtracked by BBC Music Introducing.
