Author: Lemonada Media June 14, 2022 Duration: 42:36
Today, V breaks down the implications of doctors' testimony about the Uvalde victims and why it could be a turning point to promote change in gun safety regulations. They also take a look at what the current Jan. 6 hearings related to Insurrection Day at the Capitol could mean for Trump's future. And they uncover how the U.S. government’s space agency is forming a task force to find out more about potential extraterrestrial life. Then, stay tuned for an in-depth conversation with one of the most visible reporters online - Washington Post tech journalist Taylor Lorenz. Taylor joins V to talk about all things internet culture, what it means to report on the internet and how to hold internet culture accountable at a time where online arguments and lack of civility have become the norm.

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.
