Sacramento-born Virginia Gardner joins us in the studio to chat about her new thriller-comedy, ‘F*** Marry Kill’ and she’s a hoot and a half. You might know her as the kickass queer superhero Karolina Dean on Hulu’s Marvel's Runaways, or perhaps sparring and romancing Dylan Sprouse in ‘Beautiful Disaster’ and ‘Beautiful Marriage,’ (she pukes on him in both). We talk about all this, plus go down a rabbit hole with her about the perils of online dating, working with Lucy Hale, and how she met her husband, bassist of British band The Struts, Jed Elliot on Raya.

A lowkey gamer (‘Dungeons & Dragons’ alert!), we talk a bit about that, how often she has to die in character, the truly crazy stunts in her film Fall, and of course we had to play a round of f*** marry kill.

You might not know Eric Bauza’s name or face, but you definitely know his voice. Scarbrough, Toronto-born, two-time Emmy winner joins us in the studio for the first time to talk about his latest film — ‘The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie’ — in which he plays both Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. But aside from that the Filipino-Canadian actor’s the first non-white actor to play Bugs Bunny, he’s also Marvin The Martian, Tweety, Woody the Woodpecker, and Jimmy Pesto Snr. in ‘Bob’s Burgers. On occasion subs in for Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots — uncanny — and that’s just a few of his credits.

In this conversation expect to hear Bauza talking in the guise of his most famous characters, as well as a bit of Marge, Homer, Paul Giamatti, and Luke Skywalker as a Lego character. He switches personalities faster than you can blink.

He lifts the lid on his craft, discussing his beginnings as an animation nerd, drawing cartoons, editing with scissors, and interning at Spümcø (the creators of ‘Ren & Stimpy’) before getting his big break. Plus, the genius of OG voice actor, Mel Blank, diversity in the industry, Bauza’s series ‘Stay Tooned’ where he looks at how cartoons both shape and reflect society, and much more.

Japan’s Miyavi started his career in visual kei band Dué le Quartz, back in 1999 and by the early 2000s he’d struck out on his own, blending rock, pop, and electronic elements with his signature percussive slap guitar technique, earning himself the name Samurai Guitarist. Since then he’s released 14 albums, including last year’s ‘Lost in Love, Found in Pain,’ plus, thanks to acting alongside Angelina Jolie in 2014’s ‘Unbroken,’ he continues his work as an ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. He continues to act — his next role is alongside Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista in ‘The Wrecking Crew’ and now he’s added sake-maker to his string of accomplishments. Oh, and he’s learning Chinese.

He popped into the studio for the first time to discuss all this, plus fatherhood, the key to a successful relationship, his mission to bring guitars back, playing villains and doing stunts, his admiration of Benson Boone and Ziploc bags (no really), and much more.

A lot has changed since the last time the former Why Don’t We member Daniel Seavey joined us in the studio. When we caught up with the 25-year-old this time round he was fresh from Florida, having testified at the Why Don’t We trial against their former management. Seavey discusses what it was like to be up on the stand, the true toll of WDW’s schedule, and how the rest of the guys are doing.

But primarily we’re talking new beginnings and his debut solo album, ‘Second Wind.’ He dives deep into the creation of the record, working alongside songwriter and friend Michael Pollack, playing snippets of demos from ‘Gateway Drug’ and what it was like playing the song ‘If I Ever Get to Heaven’ in front of his best friend, YouTuber Corey LeBarrie’s family for the first time — a song that deals directly with his tragic passing back in 2020.

He also opens up about his romance with Kat Castellano (how they fell in love and the many songs she inspired), not to mention rock bottom turning points and getting sober. Plus his journey with his faith (having grown up as a Pastor’s son) and the wild ride that is touring with Benson Boone.

From model to MMA fighter to actor, 37-year-old Ryan Guzman has garnered a dedicated following thanks to roles on the silver screen — through the ‘Step Up’ movie franchise — and primetime, where he’s been playing firefighter Eddie Diaz on the Ryan Murphy-produced procedural drama ‘9-1-1.’

The Texas-born, Mexican-American actor joins us in the studio for the first time to share his journey up to this point, including his love of mixed martial arts, what it was like coming up as a broke model, and his transition to acting. Plus, he discusses landing a breakdancing role with zero dance experience, being a dad, Catholic guilt, identity, and dealing with male objectification.

Guzman also opens up about the heartbreaking loss of his dear friend, choreographer and actor Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, who really took him under his wing while working on ‘Step Up.’

Triple threat doesn’t quite cover it: Toronto-born Mae Martin is an award-winning comedian, screenwriter, podcaster, actor, author, and now a songwriter releasing their debut album ‘I’m A TV,’ a collection of intimate, mellow indie-folk, filled with deft one-liners and vulnerable confessionals. Most recently they’ve even started sharing their surrealist paintings, which is also something we also discussed when they joined us in the studio for the first time.

Martin initially came to prominence for their semi-autobiographical, 2015 Netflix dramedy ‘Feel Good,’ which follows a stand-up comedian navigating love, addiction, and self-discovery in a deeply personal and darkly humorous way. Since then they’ve moved from London to LA, published a YA book, ‘Can Everyone Please Calm Down? A Guide to 21st Century Sexuality,’ co-hosted podcast Handsome, alongside fellow comedians Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster, released a comedy special, hosted a doc series and is currently in the midst of editing their upcoming Netflix teen thriller series ‘Wayward.’

We chat with Martin about being ostensibly raised in the comedy circuit, crafting their debut album, rehab, psychedelics, dreams about eminem, psychics, DMing Steven Jenkins from Third Eye Blind, the ties between comedy and music, not to mention being non-binary in this Trump-ian dystopia.

Twenty-six-year-old songwriter Victoria Canal is truly a citizen of the world. Born in Munich, Germany and raised in Shanghai, Tokyo, Barcelona, Madrid, Dubai, and Amsterdam, the now London-based songwriter has made a name for herself with her raw, vulnerable piano-driven pop, simultaneously building a loyal fanbase for her advocacy of LGBTQ+ rights, creating a space for inclusivity and expression in her art.

Self-released from 2015 until signing with Parlophone in 2021, the Cuban-American star has opened for Hozier, been called a genius by Chris Martin and won a prestigious Ivor Novello Award for ‘black swan’ in 2024, a song which reflects on the internal conflict between embracing her true self and the pressures to conform to conventional standards.

It’s just one of the themes she returns to on her debut album ‘Slowly, It Dawns’ — a collection that both embraces and pushes beyond the pared back piano balladry she’s so closely associated with, showing her range as an edgy, occasionally maximalist, pop star. Joining us in the studio for the first time Victoria talks openly about grief and loss, the destructive nature of comparison, self-acceptance, and what it’s like to play in front of 100,000 people with Coldplay at Glastonbury Festival. And it’s not all serious — Canal is super funny too — whether talking about her “hoe-y” summer (immortalized in ‘Cali Sober’) or what gives her The Ick, plus so much more.

Ever since she emerged — shrouded in mystery back in 2013 — BANKS has hypnotized with her bewitching blend of dark, soulful, gritty pop. Now 10 years on from her stunning debut album ‘Goddess’ (which she recorded an unplugged rendering of in 2024), Jillian Banks is back with her new, fifth LP ‘Off With Her Head,’ which sees her reteam with her OG squad songwriting and production squad: Sampha, Lil Silva, Sohn, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.

She joins us in the studio to discuss this reunion of sorts, plus working with Doechii and the story behind ‘I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend,’ getting engaged, leaving her hometown of LA, toxic cycles (and getting out of them), the heartbreak of platonic love and so much more.

Born into one of Sweden’s most well-known entertainment dynasties, Benjamin Ingrosso has been famous in his home country since childhood. In fact, he first took the stage at just three years old, playing Mowgli in front of 25,000 people. Now 27, Ingrosso wrote his first hit at age eight, represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest, won the Swedish equivalent of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ and hosted an award-winning cooking show — all while making occasional appearances on his family’s decade-long reality series, ‘Wahlgrens Värld.’

But music has always been his first love, and with his fifth album, ‘Pink Velvet Theatre,’ he’s finally achieving the acclaim and recognition he has long pursued. A concept album filled with anthemic, kaleidoscopic pop, his songs fit seamlessly alongside Elton John, ABBA, and the Bee Gees while offering a fresh, modern spin.

Now, in the midst of his first-ever U.S. tour, Ingrosso joins us in the studio to discuss his songwriting process and his journey from child star to five-time Swedish Grammy-nominated artist. He reflects on growing up in a famous family — including his cousin Seb from Swedish House Mafia and his sister influencer/entrepreneur sister Bianca — why Swedish songwriters are so successful and the Law of Jante. Plus, he opens up about public judgment, having no friends in school, self-doubt and self-belief, why he likes older ladies, why he was responsible for a Pecorino cheese shortage in Sweden, and much more.

By the time JoJo was 15-years-old she’d sold seven million records thanks to career-making mid-Aughts smash hits like ‘Leave (Get Out)’ and ‘Too Little, Too Late.’ What followed was a wild, wild ride — music, movies, musicals, label wranglings, loss, and self-discovery — all of which she discusses with unflinching honesty in her page-turning 2024 memoir, ‘Over the Influence.’ Now at 34 she’s fully independent and back with new music and a whole new outlook.

JoJo joins us for the third time to open up about the realness in her lyrics on latest EP ‘NGL,’ the process of writing her memoir, her experience of playing Satine in ‘Moulin Rouge’ on Broadway, the blind confidence of naivete, old romances, new romances, and so much more.
