John Edward on ‘Chasing Evil’: Psychic Mediumship, FBI Investigations, and the Ethics of Intuition (The Velvet)

Kelly sits down with world-renowned psychic medium John Edward to talk about his new book, Chasing Evil—a gripping look at where psychic ability meets criminal investigation. Before diving into the story, Kelly and John explore the foundations of psychic work—how intuitive gifts show up for all of us, why the topic sparks such strong reactions, and what it means to practice with ethics and responsibility. They also discuss John’s surprising collaboration with the FBI, the transformation of skeptics into believers, and the moments that proved intuition can reveal what logic can’t. The conversation closes with reflections on spirituality, hardship, and letting go—why “letting go” doesn’t mean failure and how we can find meaning in life’s darker chapters.

When America’s Next Top Model premiered in the early 2000s, it looked like a golden ticket: a glamorous TV show that could catapult aspiring models into fame. But two decades later, many contestants describe its aftermath as a curse. Hosted by pop-culture journalist Bridget Armstrong, Curse of: America’s Next Top Model is a deep investigation into the hidden costs of reality television, and what the show’s legacy reveals about beauty, power, and the culture that cheered it on. Through conversations with dozens of former contestants, producers and crew members, Curse of: America’s Next Top Model explores what happened behind the scenes on one of the most iconic and problematic reality shows of our generation. The series starts off by exploring how ANTM almost didn’t get made. You’ll get the real story behind the show’s most infamous controversies. Then, the models and producers pull back the curtain and talk about how the most outrageous photoshoots and runaways came together. You’ll hear from contestants who say ANTM saved their lives and from those who say it ruined theirs. The contestants also talk about how the body shaming they experienced on the show caused lifelong scars. Finally, we try to answer the question, is Tyra Banks the ultimate reality television villain? Curse of: America’s Next Top Model takes you on an investigative journey to figure out if the so-called curse is real? And if so, what was the toll on the models, and us, the audience?
