LATEST EPISODE
This week, Victoria sits down with Oxana Vulpe, an immigrant from Moldova who came to the U.S. on a college visa with just $500 to her name. Oxana shares what it was like to move to New Orleans and work in the sex industry without ever going into debt, while navigating the darker side of that world (from pimps to trafficking to the constant vices surrounding it). She talks about how she chose a different path, when she knew it was time to walk away, and how she built her own beauty studio from the ground up.
Bonnets, Spicy Books, and Paying Creators More (ft. Tasha Buras)
This week’s “keke” is with Tasha Buras, AKA thecurlycreole. She joins Victoria for a conversation that’s part vent session, part book club, and all real. We’re talking about when Tasha wore a bonnet and people had a lot to say about who “should” wear one. (Spoiler: bonnets are for everyone.) We also get into why self-help culture might be doing too much and why it’s okay to just exist without trying to fix yourself all the time. Self-help is out. Delusional realism is in.
The (Not-So) Secret Life of an American Teenager
Victoria shares a part of her story that she doesn’t share often. She was a teen mom at the age of 17, and while people saw the shock, heard the gossip, and witnessed the struggle, they didn’t see what it did to her, her mom, or her son behind the scenes. Years later, she’s still unpacking that.
Rap Lyrics Cost Him 21 Years in Prison (ft. Mac and Angelique Phipps)
This week, Victoria sits down with rapper and former No Limit Soldier Mac Phipps and his wife Angelique Phipps for a story that’s been buried too long.
In 2001, Mac was convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. It was a case built on shaky evidence, witness coercion, and a system that failed him. After serving over 20 years in prison, he's finally free. And now, for the first time, he's returned to St. Tammany Parish, the place where it all happened, to tell the story in his own words.
Music Industry Scandals: Country Edition (ft. Wyatt Putman)
Victoria sits down with Wyatt Putman, the Arkansas-born artist whose take on country music breaks the mold and makes no apologies. They talk dirt road country, industry expectations, and the difference between playing the part and living the life.
Also on the table: Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé, what “authentic” really means, and the album he’s about to drop.
Dubai Porta Potty, World War III, and UTIs (ft. Jenna Cannella)
Jenna Cannella is back on the podcast, and this one’s basically a musical. We’re talking Dubai porta potties (and what our price would be), the casual threat of World War III, and why half the female population is horny and unsatisfied.
Also on the docket: UTIs, Theo Von being a baddie, and reasons you can’t be drafted.
Everybody Wants the Pipp Tip (ft. Captain Pipp)
Bachelorette parties, boat confessions, and way too many White Claws. This week, Victoria is joined by Captain Pipp, a Navy vet, charter captain, and former radio co-host, for a behind-the-scenes look at the Louisiana waterways and the unfiltered insanity that happens on them. From drunken disasters to local lore, this episode is part Southern charm, part absolute chaos… and you’re gonna want to hear every second of it.
