Vic Mensa has announced the launch of a new weekly podcast.
The Vic Mensa Show, produced by his new ORANJ media company, will explore "the intersection of music, politics and culture." It follows his Webby-winning social media storytelling project, Orange Tree Series.
"The Orange Tree illustrated for me the transcendent possibilities of conversation: a space for the discussion of radical ideas, humor, honesty and vulnerability," Mensa says in a statement. "What began as a conversation with my community online is now expanding, through The Vic Mensa Show, to include great minds that I respect across many disciplines."
Chance the Rapper will be the podcast’s first guest. The debut episode premieres Aug. 26 and airs weekly on Wednesdays wherever you get your podcasts.
Season 1 of the podcast will feature 24 episodes. Other confirmed guests include Durand Bernarr, Rapsody, Lena Waithe, Aja Monet and Van Lathan Jr.
