Description

Host Hollie Nicole sits down with Joe Exotic, the man the world knows as Tiger King, for a very different kind of conversation.


Instead of memes and mayhem, this exclusive Tiger King interview dives into the music, mission, love and lessons that shaped Joe long before and long after the Netflix series.


Joe opens up about:

• The parts of Tiger King that he feels got him wrong

• His passion for helping kids through Operation Smile and funding cleft palate surgeries

• The emotional story behind songs like “Alyssa’s Memories” and other tracks he wrote for terminally ill children

• Writing and releasing new music from prison, including emotional gospel songs and fun tracks like “Hot Dogs on the Campfire”

• His health struggles, time inside and how global fan support helps him keep going

• His relationship with his husband Jorge, their upcoming anniversary and what he hopes for their future


Hollie and Joe also touch on his claims about the zoo, legal battles, and his desire to one day share his full story in his own words.
