You Wish

Holly Madison

In Vegas, everyone’s chasing something — and every once in a while, someone actually gets it.


On You Wish, television personality and best-selling author Holly Madison sits down with a rotating cast of people who’ve lived a few lives — the kind you think you understand… until you hear the real story. 


It’s glossy on the surface, a little messier underneath, and just self-aware enough to ask the question most people avoid:


What does it actually mean to get what you wish for?

    Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson: The Girls, Manifesting Fame, and Firing Their Whole Team

    Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson are two of the most glamorous people on Instagram, and if you've always wondered what they actually sound like — you're not alone, apparently. They stopped by fresh off the launch of their new Hulu show The Girls, and we got into everything. Growing up in Canada making vision boards before vision boards were even a thing, gluing their heads onto magazine covers and putting the E! logo in the middle, firing their entire team and going quiet for years, and how they somehow manifested all of it anyway from a suburb outside Vancouver while waitressing.

We got into the grifting side of social media that nobody wants to call out, what it was actually like being a target of Perez Hilton at the height of his power, body dysmorphia, eating disorders, and why the pressure to look a certain way never really goes away — even when you know better.

    Piper Rockelle: Being The Weird Girl Will Make You Famous

    Chelsea Suarez: An Internet Scammer's Worst Nightmare

    Chelsea Suarez has received so many cease and desists that she keeps them crumpled up in a decorative lamp in her office, and I think that tells you everything you need to know about her. She stopped by fresh off a $15 million lawsuit from a man who did not appreciate being called out online, and we get into that, plus the serial con artist who faked cancer for a decade, the feeder content house here in Vegas that her researcher wanted to stake out from a bush, and why she thinks the most dangerous person in any room is someone with nothing to lose.

    Sophie Rain: Life Beyond the Bop House

    I am so excited about this one. Sophie Rain is one of the most successful creators of all time and somehow also the most down to earth person I've met in a long time. We get into retiring her parents, building a farm in Tampa, starting a construction company with her high school friends, getting set up on live TV by Piers Morgan, and why she wants her dogs wrapped on the outside of her private jet. She also told me you can legally own a giraffe in Florida and I haven't stopped thinking about it.

    Roz Hernandez: Ghosts Gone Grindr

    I am so excited about this one. Roz Hernandez is a stand-up comedian, ghost hunter, and the star of Living for the Dead on Hulu — and she might be the funniest person I've had on this show so far. We get into her cross-country gay bar comedy tour, finding ghost hunting partners on Grindr, what it's like being trans in comedy right now, and the time a ghost called her a slur at the Palomino strip club and it went viral.

    I am so excited to finally sit down with Frank Marino — the longest running entertainer in Vegas history and the original queen of this city. We get into his wild origin story, what Vegas was actually like in the '80s, getting served with a lawsuit onstage by Joan Rivers in the middle of his act, why he's ending his show on his own terms, and what it really took to pioneer drag before it was cool. He also told me what three things he'd bring back to Vegas immediately and one of them is the mafia

    This week I sat down with Ari Kytsya, and talked all things adult content creation — the real pros and cons, predatory management horror stories, what it was actually like speaking at Harvard Business School, and why she thinks the best business advice she could give anyone is just do something and stop listening to everybody else.Get More You WishIG @hollymadisonTikTok @hollyjeanmadisonWatch on YouTubeGet my books here:Down the Rabbit Hole: https://amzn.to/3dU0YerThe Vegas Diaries: https://amzn

    Hot Takes and Media Literacy 101 ft. Danisha Carter

    I am so obsessed with Danisha Carter and this conversation did not disappoint. We get into media literacy, why cancel culture is really just publicly sanctioned bullying, the anti-feminist pipeline, AI (obviously), and how the algorithm is literally designed to destroy your nervous system. She also has the best take on why happy people don't engage with chronically online people and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.Get More You WishIG @hollymadisonTikTok @hollyjeanmadisonWatch on YouTub

    My Autism Story ft. Dr. Lauren Kerwin

    I've wanted to do this episode since before the podcast had a name. I've been pretty open about my autism diagnosis over the past few years, but I'm not an expert — so I brought one in. Dr. Lauren Kerwin is the Harvard and UCLA trained clinical psychologist who actually diagnosed me, and we spent this episode going through all the questions you guys sent in. We get into what the spectrum actually looks like, why women get misdiagnosed so often, what masking really costs you, and why the McDonald
