Long Beach's own GIV?ON joins us on the couch for the first time to talk about the deluxe version of his album 'BELOVED II.' The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter reflects on growing up on the east side of Long Beach, the first song he ever wrote, his Barry White-esqu baritone, working on Justin Bieber's ?Peaches,? and collaborating with artists including Leon Thomas and Teddy Swims. (Turns out he was a Nickelodeon fan.)

Of course we have to talk about his breakout hit ?Heartbreak Anniversary,? but the conversation also hits on skincare, celebrating small wins, accosting SZA at the mall and singing to her. Plus wrestling, romance as an art form, learning from past relationships (and what he wants), why failure is often the first step toward success, and so much more. He?s actually so funny. Just the story about him and his brother?s name being pronounced incorrectly for their whole lives is worth the click!

Twenty years after releasing his classic debut album 'In My Own Words,' Ne-Yo joins us to reflect on that record and the songs that changed his life while introducing his new album country-R&B album, 'Highway 79.' He looks back on his legendary collaborations with Swedish songwriting duo Stargate, the creation of ?So Sick,? and the stories behind songs like ?Closer? and ?Miss Independent,? and all the hits he wrote for others like Rihanna?s ?Take a Bow? (she was just a teen when they first met), and Beyoncé's ?Irreplaceable? ? a song he originally wrote for himself.

Ne-Yo also opens up about why country music inspired his latest project, the changing definition of pop, and why he feels vulnerability has disappeared from modern R&B. Along the way, he shares memories of writing for Rihanna and Michael Jackson, explains why the singer always matters as much as the song itself, writing in Nashville, being a dad to seven kids, playing the Grand Ole Opry and so much more. What?s the inspo behind newie ?Ms. Tundra?? Will we ever get a new Rihanna LP? Will the songs he wrote for MJ ever see the light of day? Maybe Ne-Yo has the answers?

Always a joy to have Olivia O?Brien back on the pod ? this time to discuss her latest album ?Pixie? (it?s her haircut, but listen, she definitely was big into fairies back in the day). It?s been a decade since her breakout hit 'i hate u, i love u' with gnash introduced her to the world, and Olivia is embracing a new era ? teaming up with Day Wave aka Jackson Phillips ? to create a record that?s indie-pop leaning and as brutally honest as ever. The long purple hair is gone, she?s over her previous attraction to ?internet boys,? and her songs showcase her perspective on love, identity, and growing up in the spotlight from this 26-year-old vantage point.

So of course we get into it: the manic pixie dream girl trope, her haircut, and how autobiographical the album really is. She also reflects on 10 years of her breakout song, the disconnect between public perception and reality, being cheated on, dating apps, supporting Benson Boone, the pressure to chase perfection, oversharing and the internet, living with OCD, and so much more.

This inimitable, hilarious, and quip-tastic D?arcy Carden joins us on the couch for the first time to discuss her new ensemble show ?Five Star Weekend,? where she plays an over-eager pal with zero social awareness alongside stellar cast including Jennifer Garner, Chloe Sevigny, Regina Hall, and Gemma Chan, to name a few! But we also had to get into her iconic other roles, specifically Janet from ?The Good Place,? her early years juggling improv at Upright Citizens Brigade, and popping into numerous eps of ?Broad City? thanks to her fellow UCB crew Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson. Oh and nannying for none other than Bill Hader who she ultimately wound up on screen with ?Barry? alongside Henry Winkler. Phew.

We also discuss her adoration of Maya Rudolph (another co-star), her cool as hell upbringing in the Bay Area, her love of Pearl Jam, her cry prep playlist, her appearances on ?Wheel of Fortune? and ?Jeopardy,? plus her special bond with Lenny Kravitz and just what The Smashing Pumpkins had to do with her changing the spelling of her name.

Thirteen years since the end of ?Victorious? and its spin-off is now imminent: ?Hollywood Arts,? starring Daniella Monet reprising her role as Trina (and exec producing). Crazy. Crazier still that Monet ? who came up with Zach ? has never been on the show. So this interview is really more like a catch up with old friends as they reflect on the next chapter of one of Nickelodeon's most beloved franchises. Together they look back at the original show's legacy, where we left Trina, how the show came together, and what fans can expect as the story picks up ? with a few familiar faces set to return.

Beyond ?HA? Daniella opens up about balancing acting with raising two children, why Hallmark movies have become such a great fit for this stage of her life, and the changing entertainment landscape since she first dreamed of landing a Nickelodeon show. Other topics discussed: the ?Victorious? cast group chat, Trina's evolution, Daniella's audition for ?Hannah Montana? and ?Chicago? (she busts out some bars), an unexpected run-in with Tom Cruise, filming a McDonald's commercial as a vegan, whether Zach might finally make his long-awaited cameo in the ?Victorious? universe, and so much more.

Best known to many through her hilarious TikToks which often rope in her Oscar-winning legend of a Martin Scorsese, 26-year-old Francesca is also carving out a career as an actor/director/writer in her own right and she joins us fresh off the announcement that she?s been cast in Season 2 of Amazon's 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith.'

We talk about growing up on legendary film sets, why acting scares her more than directing, and how the two disciplines inform one another. Francesca also opens up about hyperfixation, anxiety, becoming a caregiver after her mother was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's, the heartbreak of grieving someone who is still alive (the experiences of which informed her short film ?Fish Out of Water?), navigating "nepo baby" discourse, and responding to TikTok haters.

All hail Zooey Deschanel! The indie-quirk queen! And yes we discuss her relationship to the word quirky! The actor will always be Jess from ?New Girl? and Summer from ?500 Days of Summer? and that adorable older sister stewardess in ?Almost Famous,? and we talk about all this ? so many iconic roles ? plus the lore of her blonde hair in ?Elf.?

But the craziest thing that?s happened to Zooey in the past year? The TikTok-enabled resurgence of a She & Him song she wrote 25 years ago. In fact, it?s one of the first songs she ever wrote. So yes, we chat about ?I Thought I Saw Your Face Today? too, new music, and their upcoming tour this Fall.

We also discuss what it?s like renovating a house with her Property Brother fiancé Jonathan Scott, when her kids will watchher work, karaoke, that first kiss scene in ?New Girl? (there?s a lot of ?New Girl? in this interview: the rhythm of comedy, specific eps, being preg twice during shooting, and so much more), and how Zooey?s never laid eyes on drugs apart from weed. :)

Before stepping into the world of Elle Woods, Chandler Kinney had already built an impressive career across Disney, horror, action, and reality TV. From playing fan-favorite werewolf Willa in Disney's 'Zombies' franchise to the horror movie obsessed Tabby Haworthe in 'Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin,' and making history as part of the first all-Black partnership to reach the 'Dancing with the Stars' finale, Chandler has become one of Hollywood's most versatile young stars. Now she's taking on the role of the flannel-wearing Kimberly in Prime Video's highly anticipated 'Legally Blonde' prequel series, 'Elle.'

The self-described ?recovering perfectionist? joins us in the studio to talk about landing 'Elle' and her character Kimberly who is anything but nice to the blonde bubbly LA transplant. Set in the 90s, if you like ?Clueless? you?ll like ?Elle,? and it?s already been renewed for a second season.

We also talk ?Dancing with the Stars,? her love for Willa, playing a queer character in a live action Disney movie, and the the legacy of the 'Zombies.' Plus 'Pretty Little Liars,' being homeschooled, studying psychology, her momager, her friendship with Meg Donnelly, and what she describes as the cognitive dissonance of child stardom and knowing ?what you do before you know who you are.?

MICO joins us in the studio for the first time to unpack ?When the lights turn on,' the Filipino-Canadian artist's debut album, his biggest creative swing and his most personal project to date. The Toronto-born singer-songwriter first broke through with his 2022 indie-pop hit "cut my hair," which became a top 20 radio hit in Canada, with songs like "I'd Hate to Be My Friend" and "HOMESICK" catching fire on TikTok.

The 23-year-old discusses coming up on Discord and Twitch, plus he opens up about making a breakup record in real time, the disconnect between online perception and reality ("Dreamboy"), and what happens when you get into a situationship with your bestie ("Favorite Flowers"). We also dive into serial monogamy versus hookup culture, the influence of bands like All Time Low, Panic! At The Disco, 5 Seconds of Summer, Why Don't We, and Waterparks, and why the blunt honesty of 2000s songwriting still inspires him. And he finally puts to rest one of the internet's biggest questions: did he actually graduate high school?

We?re insanely excited to have 20-year-old London chanteuse Sienna Spiro on the couch. In the past year her career has gone stratospheric thanks to her retro-tinged ballads, instantly chic 60s styling, and her husky powerhouse vocals. If you like Adele, you?ll be falling for Sienna. Touting her debut album ?Visitor? we get into all the stories behind the songs from the depression (?Pure?), to the relationship with an older man ("Great Expectations" and "He's Not My Baby, I'm His?), to the recurring themes of impermanence and time (?Mono No Aware?).

We also discuss her mother's brain tumour diagnosis, emotional numbness, taking inspiration from Roberta Flack and Dusty Springfield, working with Omer Fedi, songwriting "speed dating," how she went from a puffer jackets to a slick bouffant beehives, and the importance ? and struggle ? to stay present.

More than half a century after changing the sound of popular music, Earth, Wind & Fire are still bringing people together. Formed by the late Maurice White in 1969, the band fused soul, funk, R&B, jazz, rock, gospel, and African influences into a style that produced timeless classics like "September," "Shining Star," "Let's Groove," and "Reasons." Even today, "September" continues to find new generations of fans thanks to TikTok, memes, movies, weddings, and the annual internet celebration of the 21st night of September. Now, surviving members Philip Bailey, Verdine White, and Ralph Johnson join us to discuss Questlove's documentary Earth, Wind & Fire (To Be Celestial vs That's the Weight of the World), reflecting on the life and vision of Maurice White, who passed away in 2016 but remains the band's guiding spirit.

Lesbian Jesus returns! Last year Hayley Kiyoko popped in to discuss her sophomore book, ?Where There?s Room For Us,? and she promised she?d return to discuss her debut feature length film ?Girls Like Girls? which started its life as a song (back in 2015), became a groundbreaking music video, evolved into a New York Times bestselling novel, and has now arrived on the big screen.

Hayley opens up about why this story has become her life's work, the emotional journey of bringing it to theaters, and how scenes from the film were pulled directly from her own experiences. We also dive into the healing power of representation, fan reactions from fans, and why telling authentic LGBTQ+ stories feels as important as ever.

Hayley also discusses assembling the film's all-female department heads, casting the film?s leads Maya Da Costa as Coley and Myra Malloy as Sonya, working alongside Zach Braff, and creating a soundtrack packed with artists including Young Miko, Tegan and Sara, and Gigi Perez.

Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, poet, and author Jessie Reyez joins us in the studio for the very first time. Since breaking through with 'Figures' in 2016, the Colombian-Canadian artist has built a career on searing honesty, turning some of her deepest wounds into songs that resonate around the world. Along the way the 25-year-old?s collaborated with everyone from Eminem and 6lack to Calvin Harris, Sam Smith, and LISA, while also writing hits like ?One Kiss,? ?Promises,? and ?Moonlit Floor? ? we get into it. Now she?s on the couch for the first time (which is crazy) with her latest fourth album 'A Little Vengeance.? As she says, quoting Friedrich Nietzsche: ?A little vengeance is more human than no vengeance at all.? She?s vulnerable, real, and funny as hell.

Jessie opens up about the heartbreak and anger that fuelled the record, the role accountability plays in moving on, getting sober, and the personal growth that followed a major shift in her life three years ago. She reflects on the relationship that inspired both 'Figures' and songs on this new album, why creating music doesn't always heal the hurt that inspired it, and how success has sometimes strained her relationships with family and loved ones. We also discuss the realities of ambition in the music industry, balancing love and career, her poetry books (and what else she?s got cooking), Bob Marley's philosophy that music can be medicine, and why after years of nonstop work she plans to step away, rest, and finally give herself time to heal.

Lily, Haewon, Sullyoon, Bae, Jiwoo, and Kyujin ? join us to unpack their EP ?Heavy Serenade,? explain how it fits into the group's mythology, and discuss why love is never static. Along the way, they break down the harmonies that have become a defining part of the NMIXX sound, the challenges and rewards of working with songwriters from around the world, and why music should always be open to interpretation.

We also get into the ever-evolving meaning of Mixxtopia itself, exploring themes of conflict, imperfection, and empowerment, before finding out how the members navigate disagreements within the group and balance their personal lives with life as global pop stars. Elsewhere, we discuss past-life regression, becoming the first K-pop group to perform at Carnival in Brazil, Sullyoon's pitch skills, what it was like collaborating with Anderson .Paak, and so much more.

Tori Kelly first joined us back in 2013, long before Grammy Awards, sold-out tours, and billions of streams. Over the years we've had a front-row seat to her evolution from YouTube breakout, ?American Idol? contestant and singer-songwriter to one of the most respected vocalists of her generation. Along the way she's earned praise from artists like Billie Eilish, voiced Meena the singing elephant in the blockbuster 'Sing' franchise, and watched both that character and her rendition of ?Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing? find new life with younger audiences online years after the film's release.

Now the 33-year-old returns as a new mother ? in 2025 she had her son Zayden with her bball player hubby André Murillo ? and both motherhood and faith deeply inspired her new, sixth album, 'God Must Really Love Me'. She opens up about raising her son Zayden (who is all over this album both in the lyrics and vocally!), how becoming a parent has transformed her relationship with faith, the highs and lows of a marriage that's now more than a decade strong, and why this album feels like a time capsule of a pivotal season in her life. Tori also shares the stories behind songs like ?Tokyo? and ?Mine,? (amongst many others) discusses finding peace in a culture obsessed with comparison, reflects on the viral resurgence of her music, talks about voicing a singer named Suzy Day in the video game 'Stranger Than Heaven,' plus so much more.

Bebe Rexha returns to the couch for one of her most vulnerable conversations yet. Having visited us countless times over the years, this interview skips the small talk and dives straight into the reality of rebuilding yourself after setbacks. As she enters a new independent chapter and prepares to release her new album 'Dirty Blonde,' Bebe opens up about faltering confidence, questioning her place in the industry, and the emotional toll of constantly hustling in a business that can be as discouraging as it is rewarding.

We also discuss why she says "old Bebe is dead," the summer heartbreak that inspired much of 'Dirty Blonde,' and the challenge of resisting comparison in an industry built on it. Along the way, Bebe shares stories behind hits like ?Me, Myself & I,? ?Hey Mama,? and ?Meant to Be,? explains why some of her biggest songs for others (?The Monster?) were originally intended for herself, talks about working with Billy Ray Cyrus and Hit-Boy, and reflects on being a songwriter first, producer second, and artist always.

BINI are back on the couch! The trailblazing Filipina girl group first stopped by the studio last year, and now they return fresh off a historic performance at Coachella ? a milestone not just for the eight members, but for Filipino representation on one of music?s biggest stages. In this conversation, they open up about what that moment meant, how they found out they were playing the festival, watching G-Dragon perform, and why they've never stopped embracing their identity, language, and culture.

We also talk about dreams, failure, and stamina; singing and rapping in Tagalog. Plus Filo culture, places to go, and street food. They sing a snippet of ?Blush? a cappella and confirm the importance of our manifestation log.

Sarah Sherman has quickly become one of the most distinctive voices in comedy. Best known as a cast member on 'Saturday Night Live,' where her surreal characters, oddball sketches, and ongoing torment of Colin Jost have made her a fan favorite, Sherman has spent years building a devoted following on and off screen. With last year?s comedy special 'Sarah Squirm: Live + in the Flesh' ? produced by Josh Safdie, Ronald Bronstein, and Eli Bush ? the 33-year-old is letting her freak flag truly fly. The special is theatrical, confrontational, and profane, full of gory gags and visceral visuals. Think Phyllis Diller meets Pee-wee Herman partying with John Waters (who happens to intro the show).

Sarah joins us to talk about building an hour of comedy from scratch, learning from her ?SNL? castmates, bombing in front of thousands while opening for Adam Sandler, and why roasting is sometimes easier than writing a joke from nothing. We also get into her Jewish Long Island upbringing, campaigning for Bernie Sanders, the influence of Phyllis Diller, her relationship with Colin Jost, the grind of producing dozens of sketches every season, and what it takes to keep pushing comedy into unexpected places. We kick things off by talking about her former college radio show? and how a particular avid caller wound up as her cohost, plus so much more.

Last time Teddy Swims sat down with us was back in 2022, pre-?Lose Control,? before the record smashing accolades and awards, before becoming a father. So it?s a big time catch up to see what he?s been up to since then and what life looks like on the other side of that success, the pressure and privilege of creating a song that people may sing for the next 40 years, and why all the awards, records, and milestones still pale in comparison to the power music has to connect people across generations. We also get into his new single "Mr. Know It All," and where things stand with his forthcoming album.

As per usual the conversation goes much deeper too. Teddy opens up about learning how to become a father while living on a tour bus, the advice he's picked up from artists like Thomas Rhett and Chris Stapleton, and why therapy ? both individual and couples therapy ? has become such an important part of his life. We discuss break-ups, self-love, staring himself in the mirror, stretching his gauges, gardening, and upcoming music with Giveon. Plus bringing Vanessa Carlton onstage at Coachella and why being kind to yourself might be the hardest lesson of all.

Rico Nasty is joins us in the studio to discuss her forthcoming fourth album, and her role in Apple TV+'s ?Margo's Got Money Troubles,? starring alongside Elle Fanning (who she learned a lot from), Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nicole Kidman, as an OnlyFans model and rapper called KC. The DMV-born rapper talks rap, rock, parenting, fame, and dealing with other people's opinions.

Elsewhere, we get into iCarly, Pinterest rabbit holes, dogs, Shrek, dinosaur conspiracy theories and whether monetizing poop pictures on OnlyFans is actually a viable business model. As you'd expect from Rico, the conversation goes everywhere.

For more than four decades, Tommy Lee has been one of rock music's most recognizable drummers and personalities. As a founding member of Mötley Crüe, he helped define the excess, spectacle, and sound of the Sunset Strip era, earning a reputation as one of hard rock's ultimate hellraisers. Now, 45 years into the band's career, Tommy joins us to talk about the band getting back on the road, their evolving dynamic, and his newly reimagined Atmos-certified release ?Tommyland Rides Again.?

The conversation also revisits some of the wildest chapters of Tommy's life, from touring with Ozzy Osbourne (and getting into serious trouble with Sharon) to the reality behind rock's most infamous stories and the band's journey with sobriety after Dr. Feelgood. Plus, we discuss his new song with Chad Tepper, "Stupid World," the infamous rotating drum kit setup, the loss of rock mystique, and much more. Tommy also reveals an unexpected part of his upbringing ? tap dancing and ballet lessons as a kid ? so there's that too!

New OneRepublic music is incoming, but we spend most of the interview discussing the state and evolution of the industry, plus we get the inside track on the artists he?s written songs with and for recently ? BTS, Rosalía, Tate McRae ? and some of the more historical hits he?s had a hand in (Beyoncé, U2, Lil Nas X, to name a few). Names are dropped, anecdotes are shared and if you?re fan of any of the above, plus Diplo, Avicii, Sombr, Christian music, and Timabland, you won?t wanna miss this.

6LACK has always made emotionally intelligent music, and ?Love Is The New Gangster? is the latest installment in the evolution of Ricardo Valdez Valentine Jr. The Atlanta-raised, multi-Grammy-nominated artist pops into the studio for the first time to discuss his fourth album and the vibe is thoughtful and reflective. The 33-year-old opens up about numerology, purpose, shadow work, and the idea that simply writing about your pain isn?t the same as actually healing it.

Deeply inspired by his two children (who grace the album?s artwork), 6lack discusses gentle parenting, understanding your own parents more deeply once you become one yourself, the shift that occurred when he cut off his locs (and the history hair holds), and why he feels like he?s on a very intentional path.

We also talk Atlanta?s musical DNA, battle rapping with Young Thug as a teen, and then collaborating with him properly later on (and on this record), working with his partner QUIN (also the mother of his second daughter) on the track ?Out of Body,? writing with your partner about your partner, working with Kehlani, Lil Tjay, Leon Thomas, Timbaland, Gorillaz and Elton John (on ?The Pink Phantom?) ? and why ?Love Is The New Gangster? reframes love not as softness, but as strength.

Maisie Peters is back with her third album ?Florescence? and wow is she in a different headspace / life-space from when we talked to her last in 2023 circa ?The Good Witch.?

Happily in love and cohabiting with her boyfriend and her sister (the co-host of their podcast Twinhood) and her sister?s boyfriend (more on that later), between this record and the last the 25-year-old took stock, dealt with vocal polyps, fell in love with her childhood sweetheart, and wrote a banging album.

?Florescence? features collabs with everyone from Julia Michaels to Marcus Mumford (do you think he?s the Internet?s boyfriend too?!), plus single ?My Regards? boasts a video directed by Amelia ?Chicken Shop Date? Dimoldenberg and stars Benito Skinner. Her work is full of Easter eggs. Like the nod to her fave teen film ?Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging,? in her album trailer, which also stars the lead actor Georgia Groome.

The winner of the inaugural Grammy for Best Traditional Country Album for his third album, ?Ain?t In It for My Health,? Zach Top didn?t come up through the usual Nashville machine. Born in Sunnyside, Washington, he was fronting his family?s bluegrass band at seven, dropped out of college in Colorado, posted covers of country legends on Facebook, faced label rejection, and somehow wound up opening for his hero George Strait.

We talk about keeping traditional country alive in a modern industry, the tension between career ambition and settling down, heartbreak, touring, virality, and whether success changes your relationship with the art itself. Plus: cold plunging, getting home schooled, building houses, making swords, ?Lord of the Rings,? and so much more.

It?s not every day a sitting governor stops by the couch. Gretchen Whitmer? the two-term Governor of Michigan, political lightning rod, and the politician affectionately nicknamed ?Big Gretch? by the internet ? joins us for a wide-ranging conversation that gets into both policy and personhood.

We talk about the realities of leadership: her eight-year legacy, the philosophy of underpromising and overdelivering, making the business case for equity, and why understanding people?s motivations matters more than simply talking at them. She reflects on the formative experiences that shaped her ? from early ESPN commentator aspirations to unexpectedly finding her way into public service, plus the intensely difficult period where her mother became seriously ill while she was newly married, moving house, and starting life as a state representative.

We also get into healthcare battles, medical debt, aging parents, the Flint water crisis, abortion rights, tariffs, the kidnapping plot, parenting through political chaos, working with Donald Trump, and why she believes the antidote to apathy is action. Plus: what law she?d enact if she could wave a wand, what comes after public office, what she?s most proud of ? and whether Zach thinks she should run for president (resounding yes!).

It?s been a minute since Joshua was last on the couch. The last time in 2024 (https://tinyurl.com/muuvbhct) ,and then that time in 2021 (https://tinyurl.com/4e5kurcj), and every time he stops in, things get deep, fast. This interview is no different. The 25-year-old is back in the hot seat to discuss his memoir ?Rookie: My Public, Private, and Secret Life,? and much like his book, we cover everything: his early, formative years in Hollywood, the imposter syndrome, the public turning on him because of that song and his very serious brush with death. We also discuss his battles with body dysmorphia, substances and ? trigger warning ? sexual abuse and suicidal ideation.

It?s been a journey (one that?s included an Ayahuasca journey in fact) and it?s ongoing. Faith, routine, therapy, they?re all helping. We also talk ?High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,? his run off Broadway on ?Little Shop of Horrors,? getting inspired by Sombr and so much more.

Twenty-five years since her last solo album Linda Perry is back and swinging with a super vulnerable documentary and album, ?Let It Die Here,? a record that sees her parse her complicated relationship with her mother and her ultimate passing. She?s confronting her own mortality too, not to mention how she was raised and who she?s continuing to become.

We get into all of this: she talks about being the sole songwriter of 4 Non Blondes monster hit ?What?s Up,? the band?s implosion soon after and why, after all these years they?re back together and with brand new material slated for 2027 release.

And of course we get into her storied songwriting career: ?Beautiful? by Christina Aguilera, ?Get the Party Started? by Pink, to name just two, and how she discovered James Blunt and signed him to her label after all the majors had passed on him.

As an artist she?s very much of the Martha Graham school of thought ? keep the channel open ? and lives her life accordingly. We also discuss the state of the music industry, the beauty in imperfection, her control freak tendencies, and so much more.

Phil Dunster became really pretty famous during the pandemic, thanks to the feelgood vibes of ?Ted Lasso? which we all tuned into during the pandemic, investing in the character arc of braggadocious footballer Jamie Tartt and his *insert fire emoji* on-and-offscreen chemistry with Roy Kent, played by Brett Goldstein. (Please refer to Brett Goldstein and Phil Dunster being mostly straight for 6:53 which also discuss in the interview.)

Although the 34-year-old isn?t back for ?Ted Lasso? season 4 (we talk about it), his career has gone from strength to strength, teaming up once more with showrunner and comedy genius Bill Lawrence (?Scrubs,? ?Ted Lasso,? ?Shrinking?), for this new HBO Max comedy ?Rooster.?

In it he plays the reprehensible Archie, and up himself Russian history professor who happens to be married to ? and cheating on ? Steve Carell?s daughter. Like all Lawrence-helmed comedies ?Rooster? treads the line between absurd, comedic, and heartwarming, and it?s been such a runaway success, it?s been renewed for a second season before the first finished airing.

Can you believe it?s been 30 years since the release of the Spice Girls? seminal debut single ?Wannabe?? Bananas. Now in her 50s Melanie C ? formerly Mel C, or known to many as Sporty Spice ? joins us on the couch to chat about her new, euphoric album ?Sweat.? Born from her abiding love of dance music, which started as a teenager on the Costa Brava in Spain as a teenager and was reignited when she started DJing and hanging out with LDN?s influential queer DJ collective Sink the Pink.

We talk to her about all this, her workout regime (abs!), the harshness of British tabloids and the phone hacking scandal affected so many high profile people in the UK for well over a decade. Melanie also reflects on the Spice Girls ? both then and now ? and if a reunion might be on the cards.

Plus, she drops some great stories about Madonna and Liza Minelli, while also discussing some of the collaborators she worked with on ?Sweat.?

Austin?s latest country star is no overnight sensation. He?s five albums deep and it?s his latest eponymous album that he?s joining us to discuss. A record that was banged out in NYC in just seven days. A record he thinks is his finest work yet and a record that restored his creative mojo. He?s been touring nonstop since he was 22 so no wonder he was feeling a little burnt out.

We talk about the his process and this album?s genesis, his origin story, his workout regimen, how he met his wife, his love of John Mayer, why he was determined to sign a record deal with a zero dollar advance and so much more.

Back on the couch after the runaway success of his last debut album ?Angel Face,? the 23-year-old returns with his new record ?LOVE, LOVE, LOVE? ? not a concept album like his first, but a record that gets down to basics in terms of celebrating what really makes the world go round: Love in all its forms.

The California-born, Nashville-based singer is reflective with regards to his influences ? his grandparents, the Martin Luther King Jr. biopic ?Selma,? his French fiancée Devi, while also considering the effect of hookup culture and what you?re missing out on when the going gets tough.

Swerving from the retro 50/60s stylings of ?Angel Face,? Sanchez decamped to Sweden to work with the Max Martin crew resulting in a big pop record with a 70s bent. He talks about all this plus getting engaged to his partner and sometime collaborator Devi, the pressure of avoiding a sophomore slump, painting, the influence of his grandparents, the success of ?Until I Found You,? and much more.

Why is Oliver Tree dressed like Shrek? Is it performance art or deeply earnest work? Are there any original ideas in the world? And what happens when you spend two years recording a record across seven continents and 80 countries ranging from Africa to China to Afghanistan. Oh and a year in Antarctica. We endeavour to explore all of what the heck Oliver Tree has been up to.

Plus the story behind his new album ?Love You Madly, Hate You Badly,? the pursuit of joy, falling off the internet, remixing in Iraq, redefining success, being elected a chief by the Maasai in Tanzania, where he wants his money to go when he dies and so much more.

We?re thrilled to have Noah Kahan back in for a third time to discuss the double whammy of his new, fourth album ?The Great Divide? and his stunningly honest documentary ?Out of Body? (out now on Netflix) which charts this post-?Stick Season? period ? the endless tours, the knuckling down to make this new record, and confronting not only himself in this new era, but also exploring the impact his success has had on his family.

The documentary becomes not just a mode of capture, but a tool of communication for him to really open up to his mom and dad, and also stare down some of his own demons, his body dysmorphia in particular. Much of this ultimately filters into ?The Great Divide,? an album steeped in his beloved home state Vermont, and his home life ? his wife, friends, family. We talk about all this and so much more.

We find out about Anna?s early years in the biz (?Odd Squad,? ?Descendents 2?) and what it?s like to grow up in the public eye, the kind of pressures foisted upon young actors and how she?s negotiated that world and her own mental health. We also discuss what she?s lifted from set, going to college, aspirations for the future, and her deep desire to be challenged by her craft.

Plus one of the most awks interviews of her life ? which happened to be with Zach ? what she would like to happen in future seasons, and just how would she feel if the series didn?t get a season 4?

We join Zayn in NYC to discuss his new, fifth album ?Konnakol.? A record rooted in the South Asian tradition of Konnakol where syllables are performed percussively. Think of it as historic beatboxing. It?s a record steeped in his Pakistani heritage and influenced heavily by the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

We talk about all this (and Nusrat?s connection to Jeff Buckley), while also diving into some of the record?s sexy, sultry R&B tracks ? one night stands, power dynamics, late night romps ? it?s all in there too. Zayn opens up about his creative process, working again with Malay (Frank Ocean), appeasing his inner child, and of course as a proud father, how Khai has reshaped his sense of purpose and joy.

It?s been 16 years since his debut solo album and now AJ McLean is back with it?s follow up ?my name is Alexander James.? Of course it?s not like he?s been resting on his laurels since 2010: he?s a dad of two girls, for one thing, and The Backstreet Boys have been verrrrry busy, and they?re bigger than ever. We discuss the huge success of their Las Vegas Sphere shows and how it all kicked off back in Sin City 2017 when nine shows at Planet Hollywood stretched into 81!

Wonderfully open and funny, McLean is more than happy to talk about the Backstreet Boys earlier years, recording their biggest hits in Sweden with Max Martin before Max Martin was the songwriting legend and producer he is today. He also reminisces about moving to LA back in the day and living in the same apartment complex as Britney Spears and Ryan Gosling circa the Mickey Mouse Club. Plus McClean discusses his twisty path to sobriety, the fights the boys have had, what he thinks of Blink-182?s iconic BB spoof and so much more.

Thai multi-hyphenate Jeff Satur joins us in the studio for the first time ever to discuss his latest EP ?Red Giant? ? his first release sung mostly in English ? his creative company Studio On Saturn, the wildly successful show ?KinnPorsche: The Series,? and his upcoming show ?Happy Ending? a fantasy mystery series he developed as producer, scriptwriter, composer, and lead actor. Suffice to say this Bangkok-born, cat cardigan-wearing, 31-year-old is multi-tasking at the highest level. Wild to think that he almost quit music entirely, and we get into that too.

Plus he opens up about his path to now, his fascination with space, the connection between acting and music, how he navigates fame as an introvert (he?s got some alter egos), and that novel he wrote, plus so much more.

Slayyyter aka 29-year-old Catherine Grace Garner joins us on the couch for the first time to discuss her third album ?Worst Girl in America,? a record steeped in the heavy bass and synth-pop grooves of Justice, Ladytron, Daft Punk, Crystal Castles, The Cramps, Santigold, and Peaches. It finds the St. Louis multi-hyphenate in her 2010 bag. Channeling the hedonism of the era, ?WGIA? is hands-down her best record to date. Forever on up-and-coming lists, she?s over it: Slayyyter has arrived.

We dive into her early years, navigating Catholic school and religious tats, hustling hard with no plan B, moving to LA in the pandemic on a whim, ?Daddy AF? landing on the ?Anora,? soundtrack, and why there?s a song on the record called ?Brittany Murphy.? Plus breaking toxic cycles, pop culture?s obsession with trauma, orca whales, styling herself, directing er videos, the story behind ?Cannibalism,? and so much more. Don?t sleep on Slayyyter because she?s leveled up and you can catch her at Coachella.

Ireland?s finest is back on the couch to discuss his third album, ?Weight of the Woods? ? a record that in part-took shape in Nashville, but is very much steeped in his home country. We get into the nitty gritty of the album, the relationship between sports and music and music-making, that Taylor Swift cover, ?Blue Eyes,? J Cole and his hip-hop influences. Plus he recounts his meet-cute with Fred Again and how those two banging collabs came about, he clarifies (and is occasionally confused by) some Irish slang, and so much more.
