Author: Lemonada Media October 21, 2022 Duration: 52:15
In this fun past episode of V Interesting, V chats with Hank Green, the founder of VidCon and a true Renaissance man. Hank is a familiar voice to everyone who watched Crash Course educational YouTube videos in school, and he’s also well known for energizing a brigade of Nerdfighters, vlogging with his brother, writing books, and TikToking up a storm. Hank, who's been a content machine since the early 90s, talks about his successful online journey of making science less boring and more accessible. He shares what determines how much you make on social media platforms, and addresses how he’s filled gaps within the industry that allow video creators to connect and develop relationships. Plus, answers to pressing science questions like why humans have butt hair!

In a media landscape that often feels frantic and fragmented, V Interesting with V Spehar offers a different pace. Hosted by the TikTok news phenomenon V Spehar of Under the Desk News, this weekly podcast from Lemonada Media is built on a simple premise: some stories need more room to breathe. Moving beyond the minute-long format, V uses this space to pull on the threads that get dropped in the daily churn, focusing on the nuanced and curiously human details within larger headlines. The show dedicates time to the complex, enduring issues that shape our world-the kind that defy easy soundbites and demand thoughtful exploration. It’s a blend of clear-eyed explanation and personal perspective, all delivered with V’s signature style. Each episode of this podcast feels like a necessary decompression from the noise, aiming not just to inform but to connect the dots in a way that makes the news feel comprehensible and, yes, genuinely interesting. You’ll hear V’s sharp commentary, find context where it’s often missing, and engage with the parts of a story that typically linger just under the desk.
