The Manic Candice Podcast

What actually makes someone popular? Looks, money, talent, connections, or simply knowing how to sell yourself? Candice explores the economics of popularity, childhood shoplifting, beauty culture, personal branding, entrepreneurial ambition, Russian sleeper-agent theatrics, questionable romantic decisions, and the financial crisis of trying to afford Christmas. Become the best basic bitch you can be. You’re welcome.

Where the hell has Candice been? After disappearing from the podcast, she returns with stories from psychiatric hospitalization, court-ordered treatment, family estrangement, medication, mania, and the ongoing financial catastrophe of being an independent artist. Plus: Arizona, conspiracy theories, questionable men from London, Russell Brand, Kick streaming, and an unnecessarily elaborate musical interlude. The girl is back. Unfortunately, she has a microphone.

Candice is back to discuss her unexpected social media growth, the launch of her Discord communities, the difference between clout and genuine connection, and learning to choose peace over being right. Plus, cannabis industry conspiracies, plastic surgery scams, business school wisdom, existential questions, The Cranberries, and Candice’s plans for world domination. Welcome to the mania.

Today on The Manic Candice Podcast, I am spiritually exhausted. After a particularly terrible day, I decided the only way forward was to forgive and forget — so naturally, I brought the entire list of people who have ever pissed me off onto the podcast.

I talk about pride, grudges, old relationships, forgiveness without closure, my questionable ability to let things go, and why sometimes you have to forgive someone even when you still think they were absolutely fucking wrong. Then, somewhere along the way, I completely lose the plot and start questioning the economy, America, capitalism, AI, Elon Musk, reality itself, and whether the Earth is literally just eating us.

But there is hope: Spotify Wrapped is coming, apparently I have some number-one fans, and I may finally get my chance to personally thank the people who listen to me way too much.

Forgive. Forget. Spiral. Repeat.

Candice sits down with musician and friend Kim for a conversation about being gay online, figuring out lesbian game, art, music, drugs, mental health, internet culture, sex work, creativity, and trying to make it as an artist without losing your mind. Kim talks about her new EP Self Therapy, while Candice gets into her own creative ambitions, online chaos, and the realities of making art in the age of AI. Two friends, two artists, zero filter.

Candice sits down with Maddie, a woman she met on TikTok, and somehow the conversation manages to cover sex, drugs, religion, money laundering, family trauma, art, Native history, childhood crimes, stalkers, Jesus, organized religion, online fame, and several stories that probably should have stayed off the internet. It’s two women oversharing at an irresponsible rate, questioning everything, laughing through the chaos, and occasionally stumbling into something genuinely profound. Basically, therapy without the credentials.

I went viral on Twitter again, and this time I made the news. I’m talking the Indica vs. Sativa debate, Black Twitter finding me, unfollowing 900 people, deciding who’s actually coming with me on the come-up, and building a future for my family. Plus, the aftermath of my Ville Valo love letter, my younger siblings’ creative dreams, and how podcasting brought me back to my first dream: music.

It is time to talk directly to the man who has been a part of my creative life for nearly two decades. I tell Ville about my own creative journey, how much I love him, the tattoo I got because of his music, and why his work has meant so much to me over the years.

I also have a few things to get off my chest—including my longstanding hatred of Bam Margera —before thanking Ville and HIM for the music, the memories, and the inspiration. And, of course, I end with some stories from seeing them live.

Ville, if you ever hear this: please tell the band I said hello. I love you guys. Thank you for everything.

I woke up and realized I’m apparently having a moment on Twitter, so naturally I had to document it. I need my check ASAP, there are like 10 of y’all I’m trying to fuck, and somehow my Twitter notifications have become part dating app, part job board, and part public spectacle. Welcome to the Twitter Tour.
