JVN talks NYFW, Updates on the Epstein Birthday Book, Mariah Carey in the Amazon

What happens when two professional oversharers get together? Pure magic... and a little chaos. JVN is joined by the incomparable Tefi Pessoa — culture commentator, internet big sister, and now host of her brand-new podcast Tefi Talks.

Come for the tea, stay for the wisdom, and leave with a little extra permission to embrace your inner oversharer. 

Together they cover everything from Kirstie Alley’s problematic family lore and Jessica Biel’s legendary arms to the chaos of mixed doubles and how Tefi turned being the “personality hire” into a full-time job. They talk about embracing your inner oversharer, the art of being a good listener (you won't believe the source for this advice), and how she holds space for everyone — yes, even MAGA and GOP supporters — while staying true to herself.

BIO: Aly & AJ are an American pop duo consisting of sisters Alyson and Amanda Michalka. First rising to fame in the mid-2000s with their platinum-selling debut album Into the Rush and hits like “Potential Breakup Song,” they became known for their sharp harmonies and heartfelt songwriting. After a period of acting, solo projects, and a hiatus from music, they reemerged with a more mature, indie-pop sound, earning critical acclaim for projects like a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun (2021), with love from (2023), and Silver Deliverer (2025). Blending nostalgia with modern edge, Aly & AJ continue to evolve as artists while staying true to their roots as sisters whose voices—and bond—create their signature sound.

What really causes cancer? Will we ever find a cure? And why does our mistrust of medicine and obsession with big pharma conspiracies have such a grip on the way we think about it? In this episode, Jonathan Van Ness sits down with oncologist Dr. Stacy Wentworth to explore the biggest questions surrounding cancer—what science can tell us, what it can’t (yet), and how to reframe the way we talk about this disease.
