    How to Laugh In Terrifying Times with Mae Martin
    Oct 1 2025
    Comedian, actor, producer, and all-around icon Mae Martin is here and we are thriving! Mae’s the co-host of the Handsome podcast with Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster, and they’ve got a brand new Netflix show Wayward (which hit #1 on Netflix on opening weekend) out now with effing Toni Collette that we are absolutely obsessed with. JVN sat down with Mae ahead of the release to talk all about finding humor in the scariest of times, turning pain into power, and the very real teenage experiences that inspired Mae’s new show. Plus: queer intrigue on TV, eating boiled eggs in your parents’ basement (relatable), and what it’s like to dive into the entertainment industry at such a young age. From A-list thrillers to how we gaslight young people to just getting the ball rolling on your next big idea, this episode is giving you everything!

What a great episode! Dr. McTier's wisdom and amazing fusion of scientific knowledge with the ability to tell it in a way that is educational, enlightened and accessible to so many people is truly a breath of fresh air. I love science and astronomy, but sometimes those who teach about it can forget that these subjects can be fascinating for everyone, not just to the elite academics that have advanced degrees. Not only that, her perspective on the way the cosmos can be a metaphor for so many aspects of life is awesome. Additionally, I really like that she has taken the time to acknowledge indigenous cultures and wisdom as opposed to the traditional male-centric, western based, "modern" views that are often exclusionary, judgemental and elitist. This mixed with JVN's fantastic ability to weave truth, facts and realness together, provide just the right amount of humor and entertainment to make this perfect. Love it!
