Episodes will be released every other Wednesday. Produced and edited by Ryan Killian Krause

    Brooke Candy Learns About Fairytales

    This week, the very iconic Brooke Candy joins host Mathias Rosenzweig to learn about fairytales from Dr. Jeana Jorgensen. We've all heard fairytales, but where do they come from? Is it true that originally they were super fucking dark and twisted before Disney made them more kid-friendly? How do fairytales approach topics like sex and death? And out of the 700-1000 tattoos that Brooke Candy has, are any of them fairytale related? Jeana Jorgensen earned her PhD in folklore from Indiana University, and she has gone on to teach at universities around the Midwest as well as the University of California, Berkeley. With almost thirty peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, she has been a major contributor to scholarly conversations on gender and sexuality in fairy tales and folklore more generally. She hopes to make the world of folklore accessible with her book Folklore 101, and is soon to publish Fairy Tales 101.

    Bonus Episode: Kim Petras and Uffie on How to be a Pop Star

    This week, we take a break from our normal format (where we ask celebrities what they want to learn more about before pairing them with an expert on that subject).  Instead, V Magazine's PRIDE cover star Kim Petras joins fellow musician, the very iconic Uffie, to discuss their respective careers and the shifting archetype of a pop star. Specifically, who can be a pop star in 2022 who wouldn't have been previously "accepted?" How do you balance commercial success with artistic freedom? And why is Kim so damn obsessed with gay clubs?  V Wanna Know was created and is hosted by Mathias Rosenzweig The show is produced by Ryan Killian Krause and Mathias Rosenzweig Our editors are Citizens of Sound

    Ethel Cain Learns About NXIVM

    This week, singer-songwriter and all-around southern bell Ethel Cain joins host Mathias Rosenzweig to learn about cults, specifically NXIVM. Ex-member and current actress/podcaster Sarah Edmondson (of the "A Little Bit Culty" podcast) discusses the moments in which she became suspicious of what she believed to be a personal and professional development company that, ultimately, left several members branded with the founders' initials, plus answers a few more questions, such as: how does one get deprogrammed after leaving a cult? Why do people wind up joining cults in the first place? And what are they key differences between a cult and a religion?  V WANNA KNOW is hosted by Mathias Rosenzweig It's hosted and produced by Ryan Killian Krause and Mathias Rosenzweig Our editors are Citizens of Sound
