Our guests today are one of the most beloved alternative rock bands of the ‘90s and 2000s—it’s the Goo Goo Dolls. The multi-platinum, four-time Grammy-nominated duo from Buffalo, New York, have sold over 15 million records worldwide, delivering unforgettable hits like Iris, Slide, Name, and Here Is Gone. 2025 is shaping up to be a huge year for the band as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of their breakthrough album A Boy Named Goo, all while staying busy with a relentless tour schedule. This week, they kick off their long-awaited Australian tour, and on today’s episode, we’re joined by frontman John Rzeznik to chat about their return Down Under, how their live show has evolved, and the lasting impact of A Boy Named Goo. We also dive into John’s songwriting journey and how learning more about production has influenced his creative process.
