David Henrie — best known as Justin Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place — joins us on the couch for the first time to talk all things Wizards Beyond Waverly Place Season 2. The new series reunites Henrie and Selena Gomez as adult versions of their beloved characters, while introducing a whole next-gen cast of young wizards. Gomez pops in for a few episodes each season — and yes, David teases what’s up with her in Season 2 — but she’s also been instrumental behind the scenes, helping bring the reboot to life from casting to marketing. We dive into their real-life friendship, how the revival came together, and what it’s like for Henrie — now a dad himself — to revisit the world that shaped his transition from teens to twenties. (Fun fact: he even wrote an episode back in the day.) David opens up about navigating fame so young, avoiding the pitfalls so many child stars face, and how he thinks the industry can do better. Now 36, he’s also carving out a strong directing career with projects like the coming-of-age film This Is the Year and the horror-comedy Monster Summer, starring Oscar-winner Mel Gibson. We get into all of it — sitcoms, laugh tracks, Jake T. Austin, and the lost art of the multicam — plus so much more.

Joining us on the couch for the first time ever is Zac Brown, the lynchpin of the Zac Brown Band. For over a year he’s been hunkering down, ideating and prepping for the biggest shows of his life: a residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas kicking off December 5. At the same time he’ll be dropping his eighth album Love & Fear. It’s a record that delves into his personal story and his fraught childhood for the first time ever. What it was like to deal with a family grappling with mental illness, moving out at just 14, and the trials and tribulations that brought him to this point — shaping not only who he is, but also his work and his inclusive initiative Camp Southern Ground. We talk about all this and how it’s going to be reflected in the (self-funded) Sphere shows— and boy does it sound like it’s going to be an immersive spectacle. Plus, we discuss how legendary surrealist painter Salvador Dali’s protege, Louis Markoya, is involved in the show, not to mention free diving and other stunt-like feats. And of course we couldn’t leave out new collaborations with Dolly Parton, Snoop Dogg, and Marcus King on this record, the story behind hits like “Toes” and “Chicken Fried,” raising five kids, his genre-hopping solo projects, what he learned working with Pharrell Williams, what’s his deal with knife-making, and so much more.

As Artie Abrams in Glee, Kevin McHale graced our screens for six seasons and we’re thrilled to have the much beloved, seriously funny and astute actor on the couch for the first time. We get super nerdy — and bring in head Gleek Kelsey — to dive into the cult of the culture-shaping show, the particular era it existed in, the unique bond of the cast and crew, and the tragedies they experienced too. McHale, who as a child dreamt of being weatherman and was once in boyband called NLT (look it up), hosts the podcast And That's What You REALLY Missed podcast with fellow cast member and bestie Jenna Ushkowitz where they rewatch the show and bring on old friends and colleagues. He opens up about what that process has been like, interviewing Ryan Murphy, the series creator and TV legend, plus some of the most iconic eps. We had to open by discussing how he wound up embroiled in the Jimmy Kimmel (momentary) cancellation discourse, with a tweet that incensed the head of the FCC Brendan Carr, who responded with a gif of Jack Nicholson in Anger Management looking unhinged. But the real reason he’s on the show — which we eventually get to — is he’s heading off-Broadway for the first time, taking part in the play The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, which run starts November 7th. Go, go, go!

Zara joins us on the couch for the who-knows-what-time. The 27-year-old Swedish pop powerhouse has been stopping by to chat for the past nine years and it’s always a joy. This time round she’s in to chat about her newly released fifth record Midnight Sun, her best long player yet. Celebratory, sexy, cheeky, and deliciously honest, we talk about its creation — alongside her longtime collaborator MNEK; largely in Jamaica — and find out the stories behind hits like the drum ‘n’ bass leaning title track, ‘Puss Puss,’ the house-influenced ‘Hot & Sexy,’ ‘Pretty Ugly,’ and how Tiffany Pollard wound up in the studio with her. Plus we discuss the appeal of Y2K, what can happen when you crush on your friend’s man (‘Girl’s Girl’), not to mention her unapologetic ambition and her relationship with dancer boyfriend Lamin. It’s the latest installment in her coming of age. Oh, and she teaches Zach and Dan about TikTok and clues them in on the viral dolphin x ‘Symphony’ moment. You know, from August 2024.

Former Why Don’t We member Corbyn Besson joins us on the couch again to talk about his forthcoming EP (out early next year), and his brand new era of artistry. He’s been working hard on his choreo! He’s been spending time in Seoul and writing with Twice’s Tzuyu on their banging collab “Blink,” he’s been jumping on Two Friends’ dance track “No One Else” and playing Red Rocks and Lollapalooza! He’s been writing for BTS and working with R&B king Jeremih. A lot to get into. Plus we get the latest on his relationship with the Why Don’t We guys, plus what the heck is Dan’s ‘Good Job’ playlist (and can we get a link!), and so much more.

Arguably one of the best Aussie exports since Tame Impala, along with artists like Amyl & the Sniffers and Spacey Jane, duo Royel Otis are breathing new life rock music. Having made waves back in 2022 with the Surf Curse-esque bop ‘Oysters in My Pocket,’ their covers of classics like ‘Linger’ by The Cranberries and Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s early-Aughts disco devastator ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ sent them to the next level. Back with their second record hickey, written in a pressurized few months off from the endless tour of PRATTS & PAIN, with a raft of the top songwriters in the biz — Amy Allen, Omer Fedi, Josh Lloyd-Watson and Lydia Kitto (from Jungle) to name a few. We talk about all this, the covers, the topsy-turvy world of being in a band on the up-and-up and what that means for their personal relationships. They also open up about the vulnerabilities that inspired ‘Jazz Burger,’ how Royel getting suspended seven times in a year was key to his musical development, and how it came to be that Lola Tung from The Summer I Turned Pretty wound up in their video for ‘who’s your boyfriend,’ plus so much more.

Back with her first album in eleven years — Better Broken — we’re so thrilled to have Sarah McLachlan on the couch for the first time. A trailblazing, confessional, slice-of-life songwriter whose music goes for the jugular and resonates to this day, McLachlan broke in the 90s, rising up with the likes of Jewel, Tori Amos, Sheryl Crow, and Alanis Morrissette, to name a few. As artists they had to work ten times harder than their male contemporaries. Imagine a world where the powers that be said: two women on a bill? Nah. Two female artists played back-to-back on the radio? You must be joking! Off the back of such rampant discrimination the Canadian singer founded the traveling, female-foregrounded festival, Lilith Fair when she was just 29-years-old. It ran for three summers and at one point was bigger than Lollapalooza. We talk about all this and the newly released Lilith Fair documentary out on Hulu now (watch it!), not to mention how, given the constant erosion of women’s rights thanks to the current administration, a new gen Lilith Fair feels more timely than ever! We also get into the nitty-gritty of what she’s been up to for the past eleven years, her experiences parenting (and collaborating with) her two daughters, and the stories behind some of her biggest hits like ‘Angel’ — about the tragic passing of Smashing Pumpkins keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin. He was an artist she didn’t know personally and yet now, on this album she’s collaborating with Jonathan’s sister Wendy, herself a legendary guitarist who was part of Prince’s band. Additionally we discuss the creation of her seminal 1993 LP, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, her stalker(s) and the song it inspired, and her cover of Randy Newman’s ‘When She Loved Me’ (off Toy Story 2). McLachlan is stunningly candid about her own childhood, her relationship with her mother and generational patterns, and the topics on her new album, which in part parses a toxic romantic relationship — confronting her own denial, self-loathing, and eventually healing (and a massive f**k you!).

Icelandic singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Laufey has carved out a singular space between jazz bossanova and Gen Z pop sensibility, and she’s back on the couch to talk about her new, third solo LP A Matter of Time. It’s the next chapter in her coming of age, still whimsical and heady with love (‘Love Girl’), but more lyrically wry — check ‘Mr. Eclectic’ for her cheeky pillorying of the performative, man-splaining dude on a date. She calls this record the marking of the end of her girlhood. We also talk about her Icelandic-Chinese roots, advice from Norah Jones, teaming up with Clairo, climbing cringe mountain, shitposting on TikTok, Love Island, the unrealistic standards for women in the spotlight and so much more. Always a joy to have a catch up with Laufey. Plus don’t miss her installment of Amazon’s Songline. Link below.

Once upon a time David Archuleta was a cherub-faced boy with a big voice and a bigger dream. As the runner-up of American Idol season 7 back in 2008, he had 40 million people vote for him. Wrap your brain around that. Since then he’s released solo records, guest starred on Hannah Montana, completed his Mormon mission in Chile, toured, got engaged and unengaged (x3), all the while grappling internally with his sexuality. We dive into this journey, in particular the last few years as he really came to terms with not only his sexuality (bi to asexual to gay to demisexual), but also his relationship with religion, his family and his community, all the different kinds of therapy he tried, and just what is scrupulosity? Ultimately he poured a lot of his experiences into his latest EP Earthly Delights, a joyful collection — which includes some Spanglish — and sees the 34-year-old gleefully embracing some of life’s more carnal joys. Plus we talk about the first time he ever drank coffee, soaking, religious informants, his upcoming memoir, his love of EDM, all the West Hollywood hot spots, and so much more.

Former Why Don’t We member Jack Avery joins us solo on the sofa for the first time. It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from him and by all accounts — his own — he’s really been through it. From struggling to find loyal collaborators post-WDW, to suffering debilitating anxiety attacks, to financial struggles, to finding out his life might be in danger, to co-parenting his six-year-old daughter with his ex, Avery has been dealing with a lot. He’s gone from being one of the most reticent interviewees (as part of WDW) to being refreshingly candid about the tough stuff. Newly inspired and diving into his R&B bag (and working with Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins!), his new tracks — ‘APHRODITE,’ ‘PLEASE DON’T GO’ and ‘IF YOU DON’T SHE WILL,’ the latter of which was inspired by his girlfriend and which he performs acoustically for the first time on the couch. Don’t miss this one.

Mimi Webb is back on the couch for the first time for the first time since 2022 and boy, has a lot changed. At that point, still riding high from the smash that was ‘House on Fire’ and Mimi hadn’t even released her debut album. Now the British 25-year-old returns with her long-awaited sophomore effort, Confessions, a record that sees her collab with the likes of Julia Michaels, Meghan Trainor, and Amy Allen; a record that’s risen from the ashes of a scrapped second album (only two songs from that collection are ‘Side Effects’ and ‘You Don’t Look At Me The Same’), culminating in her most personal work yet. We discuss all this plus how she’s now dating her childhood bestie, the impact of her parents divorce — which she poured into song, her desire to break America, her brief single era, clairvoyants, the many, many British insults that mean the same thing, and so much more.

Strap in because a conversation with King Princess is an unstoppable stream of top-notch banter, whipsmart quips, real talk, and tea. Brooklyn-born Mikaela Strauss joins on the couch for the first time to discuss her third album, Girl Violence, her hookiest, most vulnerable record to date. Since dropping ‘1950’ back in 2018 when she was still a teenager (it became a viral sensation; Harry Styles tweeted about it), the singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist has upped the ante with every release. With Girl Violence the 26-year-old holds a magnifying glass to drama, heartbreak, and “emotional warfare” of lesbian relationships. We take a deep dive into her theories and the stories behind her songs, plus her fantastical queer dress-up party Bazongas (you’re invited), the fetishistic angle of her Instagram algorithm, how she got the iconic Lisa Rena to take part in her album campaign, and who the hell is chaos-demon Cherry. She also discusses collaborating with IDLES’ Joe Talbot, jumping in the studio with Charli XCX, and what it’s like to go from zero to 100 on your first release — the pressure, the ego, the destabilization. Plus there’s a whole sidebar about her former home in LA being invaded by 30,000 bees and we get the full story of her great-great grandparents, who were immortalized as the old couple spooning in bed in James Cameron’s Titanic. No, really.

With songs like ‘Santeria,’ ‘What I Got,’ and ‘Wrong Way,’ ska-punk band Sublime’s music is a forever slice 90s SoCal, their songs ultimately becoming the soundtrack to pop culture from the era and beyond. Tragically, in 1996 singer Bradley Nowell died from a heroin overdose at 28-years-old before the Long Beach trio made it big. In the subsequent years the remaining members, Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson, joined forces with Rome Ramirez to form Sublime with Rome, but in 2024 they revealed a whole new line-up, making their official live debut at Coachella with Nowell’s son, Jakob taking centerstage on the mic. The now 30-year-old was just ten months old when his dad passed, a legacy and loss which has and continues to loom large. An artist in his own right as the driving force between emo-glitch-ska band Jakobs Castle, the singer/guitarist hasn’t had the easiest ride, including a troubled childhood, substance issues which has ultimately resulted in nearly a decade of sobriety. We get into all this, plus he explains how the creative process with Sublime works today, exclusively announcing an album of brand new Sublime album — Till the Sun Explodes — coming early next year and letting us hear sneak peaks of not one, but two new tracks. Turns out the new Sublime cuts are not only a collaboration with Bud and Eric, who he affectionately calls his Uncs, but also Jakob’s peers and pals, including Zac from Fidlar. We also discuss the possibility of a Sublime biopic, the passing of Jakob’s hairless cat, and his perhaps somewhat surprising stance on drugs, plus so much more.

Meet The Runarounds — both the cast of Prime’s new YA series and an actual IRL band comprised of singer/guitarists William Lipton and Axel Ellis, guitarist Jeremy Yun, bassist Jesse Golliher, and drummer Zendé Murdock. We unravel their origin story: who’s known each other since they were kids, who got involved thanks to casting call for a band for the series Outer Banks (another YA series created by Jonas Pate, who also helms this show), and just where do the real life band and the characters they play begin and end. Spoiler alert — there’s a lot of overlap. Their creative development as a band does mirror the arc of the show and some of the stories of how they were raised do wind up being mirrored in the script. With the exception of William Lipton, who had a long-running role on General Hospital, all these guys were diving into acting head first with zero experience. We talk about all this plus, their indie rock influences, stunts, plot twists, moral quandaries, anxiety issues, learning to act in front of the lens, and why this took half a decade to hit our small screens. You can catch the full series on Amazon Prime Video now.

Perhaps you know KUN from the reality show Idol Producer and the band Nine Percent. Maybe you’re an OG fan from back in his SWIN days thanks to the Chinese reality show Super Producer. Or maybe you’re a latter day convert from his work on season 2 of Youth with You alongside Lisa of Blackpink, Ella Chen, and Jony J. Any which way you slice it — whether on reality shows or part of a group or as a solo star in his own right — the Wenzhou-born artist has packed a lot into his 27 years. A big deal, a fashion fiend, the guy has his own Madame Tussaud’s waxwork. On the couch KUN opens up about his path to now — from his tough times as a teen in the idol system, the two years of rigorous training, far from home, not knowing the language, not to mention everything he learned — to how he feels about his past releases, and the old man inside him. KUN also talks about his romantic side, the one who watches flicks like The Notebook and Titanic, and his new work, singles like ‘Deadman’ and ‘Jasmine’ which show off his soulful side, his vintage influences in clothes and music (Bowie, traditional Chinese ballads, Winehouse). He’s fun, funny, and a great hang. And he also has a crack at styling Dan’s hair.

Incredibly — given the breadth and heft of his career — this is the first time Tom Odell has hopped on our couch. The English songwriter’s been soul-searching and plundering his own emotional depths to sett to piano-driven pop since 2013, signing to Lily Allen’s short-lived Sony imprint (more on that in the chat), and releasing instant smash ‘Another Love.’ It’s a song that’s taken on a whole new meaning and had a whole new lease of life thanks to TikTok, finding uplifting resonance for many amidst the ongoing Ukranian-Russian war. Now an independent artist — let’s just say major label life was rough despite his success — Odell is back with his new, seventh album, A Wonderful Life. And he’s playing arenas! We find out about its creation, existential dread brought on by observances of this modern age, not to mention introspection and the dark before the light. He also discusses his unique relationship with Billie Eilish (who he just finished touring with), and FINNEAS, the resurgence of ‘Another Love,’ and the power of audience and authenticity. We go deep into self-analysis, body-image and perception on new song ‘Ugly,’ anxiety, and the tough times he had in 2021, struggling to sell shows before leaving Sony and phoenix rising-style absolutely smashing it (to borrow British parlance). There was also quite a harrowing encounter with a rattlesnake in Utah, plus so much more.

He’s a prolific country star who first emerged in 2017, but has been really hitting his stride in the past couple of years, solidifying the buzz with endless tours, high profile collabs with Ella Langley, Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett, and his latest, third album Don’t Mind If I Do (the deluxe just dropped). The Jacksonville, Alabama former football star joins us in the studio for the first time to talk about building his grassroots fanbase, his time working in construction, his time on Redneck Island (twice!), and getting pelted by bras (and Spanx) onstage. Other hot couch topics: the power of simplicity in songwriting, the influence of his grandaddies, fishing with Luke Bryan (plus to pose or not to pose with fish), the underground dating world of Facebook Marketplace mirror photos, his lowkey truck obsession, his budding Nashville bar-restaurant empire, plus so much more.

Hall & Oates are the biggest selling American duo in music history. Let that just marinate for a second. The iconic pair made waves through the 70s and 80s with songs like ‘She’s Gone,’ ‘Rich Girl,’ ‘Private Eyes,’ ‘Maneater,’ and ‘I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do),’ to name a scant few, and while they continued to release albums well into their fourth decade, by 2023 they were locked in an acrimonious lawsuit with regards to Oates wanting to sell his stake in their business partnership. As of August 2025 the charttopping duo have resolved the issue, but this is of course a topic we touched upon when the legendary guitarist and songwriter stopped by the studio for the first time. Where his last solo album was an exploration of his folk/blues/Americana roots, for his newly released seventh record, Oates, he pulls from his more groove-based back catalog, teaming up with and being inspired by young artists like Lawrence and Devon Gilfillian. As well as discussing all this, he also shares once in a lifetime encounters with Madonna, Andy Warhol, and Michael Jackson, the power music and visuals (in particular pertaining to 500 Days of Summer), his time as an Anteater on The Masked Singer (no, really), the stories behind songs like ‘Rich Girl,’ and their second LP Abandoned Luncheonette, plus so much more.

John Fogerty will go down as an artist who’s written some of the most enduring songs in modern music: ‘Proud Mary,’ ‘Fortunate Son,’ ‘Have You Ever Seen The Rain?,’ ‘Centerfield,’ the list goes on and on. Equally, as the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival, he’s part of a quartet who will go down in history as having signed one of the most exploitative record contracts ever inked (Fantasy Records, headed up by record exec Saul Zaentz. Much of Fogerty’s life, while ablaze with creativity and music, has also been colored by the fact that his catalog was no longer his. Legal wranglings, depressions, bitterness, and many years feeling divorced from the lionshare of his own music ensued. Now at the age of 80, he is for the most part, back in control of his creations (thanks in large part to his wife Julie). This year he headed back into the studio to lay down Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years, rerecordings of his greatest Creedence hits produced and performed with the help of his two youngest sons, Tyler and Shane. We discuss all this: the circumstances that led up to the life-altering (in many ways) record deal, the complicated band dynamics that fractured the CCR, and the stories behind some of his aforementioned biggest hits and the cultural and personal shifts that inspired them. Plus he opens up about his wife of 30-years and the impact her manifestation and chutzpah has had on his life and career, his firsthand experiences getting drafted for Vietnam and San Francisco’s legendary Summer of Love in 1967, his collab with Eric Church for NASCAR 2025, and so much more.

Don’t worry — no spoilers here — but the final season of Amazon Prime’s Upload is upon us. The surreally, funny, tech-prophetic series left us all on a cliffhanger at the close of season 3 with Robbie’s character cloned and one of them bites the dust: BUT WHICH ONE!? And who is Robbie Amell? The Canadian actor is commercially successful, prolific, and widely swooned over. He’s been part of big shows that are a part of fabric of people’s childhoods, True Jackson, VP, Scooby Doo, Life with Derek, but he’s also highly motivated and indie-minded: the runaway success of the crowd-funded film Code 8 — which he made with his pals and cousin Stephen Amell — alongside its Netflix-funded sequel is proof enough. Inspiring stuff. Next up, his film Racewalkers. We talk about all this, but also meeting his wife and best pals on the set of American Pie: Beta House, The Duff, and of course we go deep on Upload, the project he’s had the longest history with. What it was like working with the screenwriting legend that is Greg Daniels (SNL alum, The Office, co-creator of Parks and Rec, and King of the Hill), plus talk character arcs, special effects, AI, and so much more.
