Pop icon and unofficial Lady Gaga correspondent ZEE MACHINE returns to HOMOPHONIC! Joined together with DJ John Michael, we dive deep into all things Gagachella.

DJ John Michael and I are back together, still buzzing from Kylie Minogue’s Tension tour—I caught her in Chicago, HE saw her in New York—and we’re spilling all the glittery details. From jaw-dropping video projections to fresh new arrangements and unforgettable fan-request moments, we relive our favorite highlights from the show.
We also give a well-deserved spotlight to the electrifying opening act, Romy, who absolutely owned the stage. Plus, we take a nostalgic detour through our personal Kylie journeys—how we first discovered her, our go-to deep cuts, and the most iconic Kylie concert videos over the years.

Get ready for a wild ride on this week’s episode of HOMOPHONIC!

The heart of the episode is a heartfelt celebration of Celine Dion, honoring her recent birthday with all the love she deserves. Plus, we’re getting real about the mental health, body image, and dating as I open up about a recent personal experience.
And of course, we can’t resist sharing our obsession with Pepsi anthems from Britney and Janet, as well as our excitement for Miley’s upcoming visual album Something Beautiful.
This week, we’re diving deep into two pop royalty icons: Mariah Carey and Madonna! DJ John Michael returns as we unpack the scorching-hot takes you, our listeners, submitted on social media about Madonna’s “worst” song—and trust us, some of these opinions are wild!
We also take a moment (or several) to shower Mariah Carey with love as she approaches a major anniversary. And, in classic HOMOPHONIC fashion, we detour into some delightful pop culture rabbit holes, including a little-known story about Deborah Cox’s “Stupid Like U” and celebrating 25 years of NSYNC’s No Strings Attached.
Zee Machine and DJ John Michael are back to further process our feelings about Lady Gaga's latest masterpiece, "Mayhem." We reflect on our first reactions now that we have had a week to digest the project and see where our favorite moments from the album are currently sitting. We also take a moment to talk about Chappell Roan's highly anticipated "The Giver" as well as JADE's latest offering "FUFN."
LG7 has arrived, and we're diving in headfirst! Pop sensation and certified Gaga stan ZEE MACHINE joins me, along with best-friend-of-the-pod DJ John Michael, for an electrifying track-by-track reaction—recorded just 12 hours after Mother Monster unleashed her latest era of MAYHEM.
From "Disease" to "Killah" to "Blade of Grass", and the bonus cuts "Can't Stop The High" and "Kill For Love," no beat, lyric, or synth goes unnoticed. And, of course, it wouldn’t be HOMOPHONIC without a Gaga Edition of Songs We Don’t Talk About Enough. PAWS UP, LITTLE MONSTERS!

DJ John Michael is back, and this is an episode you do NOT want to miss! We tumbled headfirst down a recession pop rabbit hole, hyping up Dev & The Cataracs’ upcoming banger “Make Ya Body Whistle,” while giving long-overdue flowers to Kelis’ “In Public” and “Acapella,” Brandy’s Human album, and Alanis Morissette’s criminally underrated Flavors of Entanglement.
We also dissect whether or not Madonna has a “bad song” (Zach’s bias comes out), relive Jennifer Lopez’s “Louboutins” era, and get nostalgic over Girlicious and Paradiso Girls. And did someone say Akon & David Guetta’s “Nosy Neighbor”? Oh, you know we did.
