LOS ANGELES, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lemonada Media, the podcast network that makes life suck less, today premieres V Interesting -- a new, twice-weekly podcast hosted by beloved TikTok star V Spehar. Part explainer, part thought-starter show, every Tuesday and Friday the "Under the Desk News" anchor will bring their sharp outfits and witty commentary to make you the most well-informed and "v interesting" person in any crowd.
On Tuesdays, V will highlight the interesting parts of stories we often lose in the chaotic news cycle, with high-energy, upbeat and approachable breakdown of everything from top headlines to quirky under-the-radar news. Fridays are their chance to spend a lot of time going deeper into the complex, evergreen Big Issues that matter most, but don't have a simple, Tweetable solution. Friday's episodes will also be shared in video format on YouTube as well as on the traditional audio platforms.
"I am so excited to have the opportunity to make this show with Lemonada, which totally understood my vision for creating something that feels like a talk show crossed with a slumber party, like a conversation without the scare tactics to provide relief from doomscrolling," said V. "It's going to be great to have more time to do things like take audience questions and go deeper on the news than the little chunks I do on TikTok."
"The news cycle is confusing and polarizing. Lemonada and V partnering means we can help people understand the story behind the news and stay informed while being entertained," shared Jessica Cordova Kramer, CEO and co-founder of Lemonada Media. "We love the vibrant community V has built on TikTok and are so excited to welcome their fans to our Lemonada family."
The first episode of V Interesting is available now on all major podcast platforms with new episodes releasing every Tuesday and Friday. Subscribe to listen HERE.
