March 20, 2020 #16 Bonus: 'I feel like it helps you know yourself better'
There's bonus content in the stars this week... We're celebrating the start of the astrological new year with a special episode on all things astrology, horoscopes and star signs. VICE Managing Editor Daisy Jones was raised on astrology by her grandma, so we figured who better to come to the studio and help us unravel the mysteries of the universe. Remember, don't get mad at Scorpios! They can't help it!

This episode was produced by the VENT production team: Jess Lawson, Arlie Adlington, Emilia Gill, Moeed Majeed and Kamiah Chae Cowell.
