Stay ConnectedA new podcast from V Magazine.
The concept is like the inverse of Masterclass. Instead of famous teachers, we have famous students (the guests) coming on to connect with a specialist in an area of interest. Some of music and fashion’s biggest names will join host Mathias Rosenzweig to interview experts on subjects like forensic science, the psychology behind online trolling, alien life, and more.
Episodes will be released every other Wednesday.

This week, singer-songwriter BANKS joins host Mathias Rosenzweig to discuss modern witchcraft (and a bit of its history) with Dr. Ethan Doyle White, a specialist on the topic.
We’re all familiar with witchcraft. The spells, the brooms, the toads. While these are typical of fictional worlds on TV and in books, there is a very real and non-fictional presence of witchcraft in our world. Thousands of people across the globe consider themselves witches, such as Wiccans—people who celebrate pagan holidays and practice witchcraft as a religion in a very literal sense.
But how do we break down the differences between magic, witchcraft, Wicca, and other branches of paganism?

Singer and general queen Tinashe joins host Mathias Rosenzweig to learn more about the metaverse. The term metaverse originated from a 1992 “cyberpunk dystopia” novel—apparently that is a thing—called Snow Crash. It’s since become a reality which will only continue to grow in presence.
Our expert on the metaverse is Lindsey McInerney, a futurist who’s been exploring the intersection of emerging technologies and how they’ll come to life.
