HGTV star Alison Victoria is known for her bold design choices and unique approach to flipping homes. After her recent win on Rock the Block, where HGTV design stars went head to head in an intense home renovation competition, she dropped a career update that has left fans scratching their heads.
The unexpected Instagram all started when Alison posted an animated video of a cartoon version of herself picking up a pink paintbrush and painting two jarringly bold words across the screen: "Pap Smear." Her caption read, "Your first pap smear appointment is scheduled for May 27th!" and let's just say fans weren't quite sure whether it was a public service announcement or if she got hacked.
But the real message became clear: Alison is launching a brand-new podcast and it's promising to be unlike anything she's ever done before.
Simply titled "Pap Smear," the podcast isn't actually centered around women's health (though that's part of it). Instead, it's a metaphor for what listeners can expect from each episode. Alison is digging deep into raw, unfiltered conversations that some may consider uncomfortable or often avoided topics. As the official description puts it, the show it about "ripping the filter off the usual polished conversations." No topic is off limits and even guests are encouraged to get a little vulnerable and even messy with real-life stories that don't always don't see the light of day.
While the name of Alison's podcast may raise some eyebrows, it's exactly the boldness Alison wants. "No topic is too taboo, no guests are off the hook," the show description reads. Needless to say, it's a surprising switch up for the star best known for her renovation reveals.
New episodes of "Pap Smear" drop every Tuesday and if the first episode is any indication, this won't be your average celebrity podcast.
