  • El Rose — Writing Rage, Mythology, and Sexuality Through Music

    El Rose — Writing Rage, Mythology, and Sexuality Through Music
    Jun 3 2026
    Being fierce has always been part of her presence. El Rose joins Sparkle On to share her journey from being a bedroom musician to a performer who has learned to channel rage, mythology, and sexuality through music. Her former identity left little room for creative exploration—until a lonely period in San Francisco led her to a guitar shop, a louder voice, and eventually Austin's thriving music scene. El unpacks her Gothic noir aesthetic and femme fatale persona, drawing inspiration from biblical figures such as Mary Magdalene and mythological goddesses such as Circe. She explains how female sexuality has been weaponized throughout history, and why her music reclaims that power with unapologetic rage. This episode dives into the chokehold of creation, the isolation of being misunderstood by those closest to you, and why playing electric guitar in public for the first time is exactly the kind of intensity that fuels her art. El reminds us that we are all meant to create — and that magic happens when we stop overthinking and let it out.

  • Sarah Wang — New Skin: A Mother-Daughter Story of Plastic Surgery's Dark Side

    Sarah Wang — New Skin: A Mother-Daughter Story of Plastic Surgery's Dark Side
    May 29 2026
    Named one of Apple's Best Books of May, debut novelist Sarah Wang joins Sparkle On to discuss her novel New Skin — a visceral exploration of plastic surgery addiction, immigrant identity, and an intense mother-daughter relationship set in Los Angeles. Sarah reveals how she spent over a decade crafting a story that uses the world of reality TV and botched plastic surgery as a lens to examine class and debt in America. Sarah shares her process of rewriting entire subplots even after selling the book, from navigating rejection with determination to knowing when to protect the beating heart of a story while staying open to critique. She proves that you only need one yes, and that the stories we're most obsessed with are the ones worth telling.

  • Solo Devi Jags Episode — Building Sparkle In Public, The Vision, & The Punk Rock Era

    Solo Devi Jags Episode — Building Sparkle In Public, The Vision, & The Punk Rock Era
    May 27 2026
    Devi Jags flips the mic and lets herself be interviewed for the first time, revealing the raw, unfiltered origin story of Sparkle On. From surviving violent events in college and rediscovering her fire through writing, Devi unpacks how creativity became her lifeline and why she refuses to let anyone define themselves by a single identity. This solo episode dives into the messy, relentless, punk rock era of building a movement from scratch. Devi gets honest about the loneliness of wearing every hat, and what she's building behind the scenes beyond the podcast, and how the Sparkle movement is for that young girl who once felt like nothing. She reminds us that magic exists, flying is possible, and the only way forward is to journal, lose control, and try, even when you're terrified of failing. This is Sparkle On at its most vulnerable, and defiant.
