Andrew Tate has become one of the most famous internet celebrities in the world by making incendiary, meme-friendly videos promoting misogyny.

March 23, 2023 04:01 - 38 minutes - 52.4 MB

You’ve seen the headlines about quiet quitting, the four-day workweek, and The Great Resignation.

But if we only worked the hours we absolutely had to, what would we do with our free time? Who would we be?  In this episode, VICE producer Sam Eagan sets up an experiment where he slips un...

Party Crews: The Untold Story - A New Podcast from VICE

March 16, 2023 05:16 - 38 minutes - 87.2 MB

For many Latinx kids in the ‘00s, the party crew scene was a safe space to express themselves as they came of age in the grit and glitter of Los Angeles. A space to make friends, forget about your problems and dance the night away. But the scene wasn’t always physically safe. There were shootings and police raids. Many adults saw the scene as gang-adjacent and the media fueled negative stereotypes of kids who were out of control. One of the teens who got caught in that narrative was Emmery ...

When a California Town Stole a Black-Owned Resort

March 02, 2023 05:01 - 43 minutes - 59.1 MB

In 1912, a Black couple named Charles and Willa Bruce bought a parcel of land in Manhattan Beach, CA and turned it into a successful seaside resort for Black Californians. They were driven out of town -- by white city officials who didn’t want Black neighbors. A hundred years later, a state law allowed for the return of the property to the Bruces' descendants. But the city of Manhattan Beach has yet to apologize for its actions. In 2021, VICE producer Julia Nutter headed to Manhattan Beach t...

Still in Search of a Black Utopia

February 23, 2023 08:01 - 44 minutes - 102 MB

A couple years ago, executive producer Adizah Eghan noticed an interesting trend on social media: everyone seemed to be living it up in Tulum, Mexico. Some were flocking there to have a good time, while others were seeking something much deeper; they wanted to escape racism and seek refuge with like-minded people. Adizah traveled to Mexico to experience the vibes of Tulum for herself — and also dig into why Black people are seeking refuge in a small fishing town south of Cancún. This story ...

Joshimath Is Cracking

February 16, 2023 05:01 - 28 minutes - 39.2 MB

In early January, the holy Himalayan town of Joshimath, India woke up to grinding noises of homes cracking apart as the land sank further into the ground.

Can AI Make Us Feel Better?

February 09, 2023 14:32 - 18 minutes - 43 MB

Last month, a therapy app called Koko came under fire on social media after it revealed it had done an experiment using AI. Specifically, the AI text generator Chat GPT, which has become widely popular this winter. The controversy opened up a discussion on the role of AI tools in mental health — what can they do? And should they? On this episode, VICE Motherboard reporter Chloe Xiang guides us through these questions.  This story was produced by Adriana Tapia and edited by Stephanie Kariuki...

Is this bizarre illness the result o...

The Realities of a Post-Roe America

January 12, 2023 15:53 - 22 minutes - 51.6 MB

When Roe was overturned in the summer of 2022, at least 13 states had laws put in place that were meant to be triggered by the fall of Roe and ban abortion in all but the most extreme cases. But what happened to the people who qualified for these abortion exceptions? Today, VICE reporter Carter Sherman dissects the impacts these trigger laws had on states, abortion providers and those who were unable to receive immediate care.  Special thanks to Leah Feiger and Michael Learmonth.  This sto...

The End of Pain

January 05, 2023 05:01 - 29 minutes - 40.3 MB

For over 30 years, Danny Elliot suffered from severe chronic pain, the aftermath of nearly getting electrocuted to death in a home accident. The only thing that eased his pain was the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl, which was prescribed to him by a doctor.  But in recent years, it had become almost impossible for Danny to obtain fentanyl—even with a prescription. With illicit fentanyl made by Mexican cartels causing thousands of overdose deaths, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration ...

December 29, 2022 05:01 - 27 minutes - 37.6 MB

Last year, Motherboard Reporter Edward Ongweso Jr. spoke with Arielle Duhaime-Ross about Cryptoland: the moonshot project trying to turn a private Fijan island into a crypto-utopia and the world’s first crypto-society. With the rise, and fall, of crypto billionaires there is seemingly always this question of what is next in the crypto-space? So, this week we are revisiting our episode about the latest on the grand promises made by Cryptoland. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more ...

‘Give Him a Civil Death’: The Fleeing Judges of Guatemala

December 15, 2022 05:01 - 35 minutes - 49.3 MB

Miguel Angel Galvez lived a double life: at work, he was one of Guatemala’s most influential and famous jurists, presiding over cases that sent former and sitting heads of state to prison. But at night and on weekends, Galvez was a scared man worried that he'd be shot down in the street.  He had good reason to be afraid. Every other high profile anti-corruption prosecutor or judge in the country is in exile or in jail. This year, the same right-wing group, Foundation Against Terrorism (FCT)...

The QAnon Queen’s Road Trip From Hell

December 08, 2022 05:01 - 38 minutes - 52.4 MB

For years Romana Didulo, better known to her followers as Queen Romana, has built a following of tens of thousands of people online behind a blend of QAnon conspiracies, COVID-19 denial, new age mysticism, the support of a supposed intergalactic alien consortium, and perhaps most notably, the belief that she is the one true sovereign Queen and ruler of the ‘Kingdom of Canada.’  But in the past year the QAnon Queen’s movement has gone offline, resulting in real world actions that began with ...

The Other Border

December 02, 2022 05:01 - 25 minutes - 35.1 MB

Before Trump campaigned on building a wall along the Mexico border, in 2014 President Danilo Medina wanted to build one across the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It’s part of the country’s decades-long pattern of xenophobia and racism against Haitians migrants.  Around this time last year, the Dominican Republic government also started deporting Haitian pregnant women. This practice has received immediate criticism from the UN and other human right organizations. Both practices are part of a...

Earlier this year, Paulina Ramirez - a 26-year old woman from Sinaloa, Mexico - died from complications after getting a plastic surgery procedure.

Ever since he can remember, Hamdullah Mohib has just wanted to go home. As a child, he and his family were forced to flee Afghanistan after the Soviet invasion in 1979.

Deaths Per Kilowatt-Hour

September 29, 2022 04:01 - 33 minutes - 77 MB

In 2012 California shut down the San Onofre nuclear power plant after decades of anti-nuclear activism, leaving the state with only one remaining nuclear plant. This meant that California started producing more of its energy by burning fossil fuels. So was the closing of San Onofre a victory or a tragedy for the environment? The answer to this question hinges on another: how much danger is society willing to accept to fight climate change?   In this episode of VICE News reports, VICE News c...

Undercover in Guyana

September 15, 2022 04:01 - 39 minutes - 89.7 MB

The Rise of the Moors: ‘We Want Our Own Nation’

September 01, 2022 04:01 - 35 minutes - 81.7 MB

Moors in America believe that they – and many Black Americans – are descendents of the Moroccan Empire, which they claim once extended all the way from North Africa to North America. This would make Moors indigenous to an America that far predates the United States. But beyond that shared credence, the movement is scattered. Some seek only to practice spiritual beliefs while others maintain that being a Moor means U.S. laws do not apply to them. A few even use their identity as Moors to jus...

Roe Was Never Enough

August 25, 2022 04:01 - 45 minutes - 104 MB

After Roe v. Wade was overturned, many wondered what living in a post-Roe America would look like. But for a lot of Native people, Roe has never been a reality.

VICE News Reports’ Adreanna ...

Earlier this year, VICE News reporter David Gilbert took us behind the “JFK cult” headlines, and into the lives of those who were swept up by the QAnon offshoot movement that traveled to the fateful grassy knoll in downtown Dallas to witness one man’s prediction: the return of the assassinated president. This week we are revisiting this story with a few updates on those still in Dallas, awaiting JFK.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Stick around as we check back in with Sam to see how his friendships changed once the episode aired.  This ep...

The Fall of Sri Lanka's Most Powerful Family

July 14, 2022 04:01 - 17 minutes - 40.4 MB

On Wednesday morning, Sri Lanka’s President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled the country.

July 07, 2022 04:01 - 31 minutes - 72 MB

At the beginning of May, musical artists Young Thug and Gunna along with 26 others were arrested and indicted in Atlanta, Georgia.
