Jonathan Van Ness Has Been Getting Curious for Years on His Podcast
The series is an extension of the 'Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness' podcast. The podcast is described as "a weekly exploration of all the things Jonathan Van Ness is curious about. Come on a journey with Jonathan and experts in their respective fields as they get curious about anything and everything under the sun." The podcast launched in January of 2016, and it was immediately embraced, not only for the charismatic and curious host but for the wide-ranging topics that the show covers. From science, history, government and politics to entertainment, pop culture, beauty and self-care, Van Ness seeks out the experts to answer the audience's pressing questions.
You can also catch Jonathan Van Ness joined by Tan France, Karamo Brown, Antoni Porowski and Bobby Berk for the sixth season Queer Eye which just debuted on Netflix last week. The gang is taking the bull by the horns in Austin, Texas this round. Not only does the program aim to help people with their appearance or homes, it acknowledges and addresses mental health and well-being as essential to encourage meaningful change. In the one-hour program, they can't heal all wounds or leave with the person's internal work complete. However, the team has put their subject on the path to get there.
