Riley Green Talks New Album 'That's Just Me,' The Voice, Acting in ‘Marshals,’ & Stagecoach 2027 Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

It’s been just 12 months since he last sat on our couch but in the interim Riley Green’s star has only burned brighter. He's gearing up to headline Stagecoach 2027, slid into Blake Shelton's chair on 'The Voice,' and made his acting debut in 'Marshals.' Somehow, he's also found time to release a new album, 'That's Just Me.'

We get into the stories behind the album's 23 tracks, his collaborations with Jake Worthington and Hannah McFarland, and why songwriting is still the most rewarding part of his career. Riley also talks about discovering a whole new side of himself on 'The Voice,' how Luke Grimes helped him land his first acting role, and why, despite all his success, he sometimes misses the simplicity of his old life working construction in Alabama. Plus, we talk hunting, nostalgia, his dog Carl, why he still insists on running his own Instagram account, and much more.

Lance Bass on 'NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Astronaut Training, Coming Out, and New Show 'Cocktail Wars' Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

We can't believe it's taken this long, but Lance Bass is finally making his Zach Sang Show debut! Lance joins us to talk about his new show 'Cocktail Wars' with longtime bestie and fellow 'NSYNC member Joey Fatone, filming 10 shows in five days, and just how much liquor was imbibed. He takes us back to the early days of 'NSYNC, from living together and figuring out his place in the group to the moment he realized just how famous they'd become. We get into the Lou Pearlman of it all, why the guys didn't walk away nearly as rich as people assumed, the supposed rivalry with Backstreet Boys, his friendship with their members, and where things stand with an 'NSYNC reunion.

Lance also opens up about growing up gay in Mississippi, spending his boy-band years in the closet, and the secret relationships and celebrity crushes of the '90s. Plus, he tells us about his intense six months training to become a cosmonaut in Russia, his 'Zoolander' cameo, making out with Danielle Fishel, discovering Ryan Tedder (with a little help from his mom), and life as a dad to twins. We also talk about BTS, KATSEYE, his obsession with 'Bluey,' his latest children's book, and why he's still a kid at heart.

Nessa Barrett on New Album 'Tough Love,' Writing Dark Romance Novels, “Dracula” and "Candy" Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

Nessa Barrett was just here five months ago to talk about her EP 'Jesus Loves a PrimaDonna' — and now she’s already back with her third album, 'Tough Love.' She talks about how that EP informed the new record, becoming Bunny — and the various characters on the record as facets of her — imagining her exes watching from the audience, making “Fetish” her BPD hot-girl anthem, the Fleetwood Mac and Eagles influence on “Coming Home Again,” and the stories behind “Candy,” “Dracula,” “Glamorous” and “God Gave Me Expensive Taste.”

Nessa also opens up about sex, intimacy and why this is the first time she’s written about those experiences, plus why she isn’t looking for love right now. And then we get into her into her dark-romance obsession — specifically the ‘Edge of Darkness’ trilogy, the five books she’s apparently written, whether she’ll ever publish under an alias, her new-ish tramp stamp, moonwater — and Nessa having absolutely no idea what a Sidekick is.

‘Coven Academy’ Cast on Love Triangles, On-Screen Kisses, Witches & Queer Vampire Energy Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

Things get a little witchy — and a lot chaotic — when the ‘Coven Academy’ stars Malina Pauli Weissman, Jordan Leftwich, Ora Duplass, and Louis Thresher hit the couch. The new supernatural series follows three teenage witches at an elite magic school in New Orleans, where they’re learning to control their powers while dealing with friendship, grief, dangerous secrets and, naturally, some very complicated crushes. Malina plays Briar, Jordan plays mind-reading Sasha, Ora plays time-bending Tegan, and Louis? Well he's struggling as the newly turned vampire Ollie. Also at the center of the story is Malachi Barton as warlock Jake — Ollie’s competition in a love triangle with Briar.

We talk about the very real chemistry that emerged during chemistry reads (even via Zoom), first on-screen kisses, who the cast ship in the Briar/Jake/Ollie love triangle, and finding pieces of themselves in their characters. Plus: anxiety and OCD, grief, the show’s take on witches and vampires (and vampires queer energy overall), their instant sisterhood, magical powers they’d absolutely abuse IRL, ‘Wednesday,’ ‘Cruella’ and ‘Saltburn’ homework, music, their ’90s-icon co-star Tiffani Thiessen — and trying to figure out exactly who is the guncle, younger cousin, wine aunt and older sister of this very loud found family.

Chelsea Cutler Talks New Album ‘IS THE END?’ Embracing Her Sexuality, and OCD Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

Chelsea Cutler is back on the pod! She’s been here many times over the years, but this time there’s a lot to catch up on — a new city, a new relationship, a new era and her fourth album, ‘IS THIS THE END?’

Chelsea opens up about making the record in real time during a particularly vulnerable and challenging season of her life, and why she’s not interested in wrapping everything up with neat answers or resolution. We get into the chaos of being in your 20s, turning 30 and feeling like she’s living through her own coming-of-age movie, moving to LA, heartbreak, dating multiple people, Hinge, exploring her sexuality, and what she’s actually attracted to in a partner.

She also talks about her OCD diagnosis and therapy, coming off antidepressants, learning to sit in stillness, the internet discourse around “BAD,” her Chatty Cathy tendencies, “THE CAR RIDE HOME,” her sing-lisp, the possibility of another Jeremy Zucker collab — and, naturally, bangs, Botox and lasers.

Hasan Minhaj on Collegiate Bollywood Dancing, Mindy Kaling, Cultural Identity and 'Best of the Best' Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Hasan Minhaj joins us to talk about his new Netflix movie 'Best of the Best,' a college comedy set in the fiercely competitive world of Bollywood fusion dance. He gets into why this was basically Greek life for the South Asian diaspora, writing the movie during lockdown with Prashanth Venkataramanujam and pulling from some painfully true stories from his own life — including bidding hundreds of dollars he didn’t have on his future wife Beena at a UC Davis date auction. We also talk the star power of Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, the “Mindy Kaling effect,” A.R. Rahman, the Koh-i-Noor diamond, and why it’s taken so long to make a film like this one.

Hasan also talks about being more present, making time away from his kids count and why he wants his work to entertain while still saying something. We get into finding love, laughter, and joy in a divided world, appreciation versus appropriation, his 2017 White House Correspondents’ Dinner and why “action is the antidote to anxiety.” Plus: does hard work actually equal success? Zillow stalking, his fedora phase, Zach’s eight dogs, and Hasan’s problem with dog people.

Sebastian Maniscalco Talks His Glow Up, Comedy, His Dad and De Niro, Marcello Hernández and SNL Sep 25, 2026

Show notes

The 53-year-old Ital-Chicago native has spent decades turning the everyday absurdities of family, relationships, and human behavior into observational comedy, going from waiting tables for years to honing his craft at The Comedy Store (which he still does) to becoming one of the biggest touring comedians in the country. He joins us to break down his growing SiriusXM podcast universe, including his latest monthly interview series “We Got Company,” while reflecting on joke building, and whether he’s slowly turning into his dad.

He also talks about Robert De Niro wanting to spend time with his father while making ‘About My Father,’ getting notes from his dad and how seriously he takes raising grounded kids.

We also give Sebastian a crash course in current slang and looksmaxxing, which leads us into his own physical glow-up, skincare and very specific shower routine. Plus: aging jokes, brushing your teeth in the shower, Zach and Dan’s dental habits, Dan’s inability to hold eye contact, carving pumpkins with Justin Bieber, Robby Hoffman, Dane Cook, his need to share his thoughts with complete strangers and Marcello Hernandez impersonating Sebastian in an ‘SNL’ sketch with Harry Styles.

Awsten Knight of Waterparks Talks Jinx, Video Games, DeuxMoi and Ghosts Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

Waterparks’ Awsten Knight is back on the show — at this point, we’ve genuinely lost count of how many times he’s been here — but this time he’s joining us to talk about the band’s new album 'JINX.'Three years in the making, Awsten breaks down the themes behind the record, from existential dread and losing father figures to talking to his inner child and why creativity, for him, is so rooted in that younger version of himself. He also gets into rebuilding the Waterparks team, taking their live shows back to more intimate rooms and collaborating with Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus thanks to an assist from Dillon Francis.

Predictably the conversation winds up unpredictable. Awsten talks skincare, scoring video games, why making 'JINX' was “better than therapy,” DeuxMoi making it onto the album and whether Austin is actually a good kisser. We also get into his suspiciously soft feet and aloe socks, Otto’s abs, Zach, Dan and Awsten’s sleeping habits, his paranormal obsession, homemade Ouija boards and EMF readers — before Awsten pitches a sleepover.

No Na Talks Debut Album 'island girl,' Bringing Indonesia to the World, and Their Origin Story Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Meet No Na, the 88rising-signed Indonesian girl group made up of Christy Gardena, Esther Geraldine, Baila Fauri and Shazfa Adesya. This is actually their second time on the show — we first met them last year (unreleased), but now they’re back with a whole debut album, 'island girl,' to dig into.

The girls get into their Indonesian roots and the sounds of home that have made their way into the record, from gamelan to angkot horns, plus what it’s like hearing fans around the world learn Bahasa to sing along. We break down "seafood diet," "party in the +62" and "nick of time," their vocal evolution, and which Indonesian instruments they want to experiment with next.

Plus we find out more about the girls as individuals: who is the nerd, who was the gymnast, who was in ‘Indonesian Idol’ and ‘Indonesian Idol Jr.’ and the virality of ‘rollerblade.’ They also explain their roles in the group, the influence of Tyler, the Creator, they launch a passionate campaign for justice for durian (which also happens to be a song title), and so much more.

Freya Skye on ‘Bad Taste,’ ‘Zombies 5,’ Junior Eurovision, Julia Michaels, and Upcoming Debut Album Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Freya Skye is back! We first had her in back in 2025 alongside the cast of ‘ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires,’ and this time the British singer and actress joins us solo to talk about her latest single ‘Bad Taste’ — bad taste in romantic partners, that is, and finding her identity outside of Disney. She gets into establishing her aesthetic, why she doesn’t think she’s cool, busking at 12, Junior Eurovision, the challenges of the Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour tour, and her connection with Alex Warren and the hugely supportive parents who helped her chase her dreams from an early age.

Freya also talks about the 40 songs she’s already made for her upcoming album, working with Julia Michaels and her love of Noah Kahan and Taylor Swift. Plus, she reflects on being just 14 when she was cast in ‘ZOMBIES 4,’ taking on the responsibility of a beloved franchise, shooting the fifth installment earlier this year, her ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ guest appearance, and her biggest dreams for what comes next.
