Livingston: Transformation, Storytelling, and ‘A Hometown Odyssey’ (Full Episode)
Livingston is certainly one of the most articulate artists we’ve ever had on the couch, and in conversation and in song, the Denton, Texas-born songwriter and producer, is an open book. Born Drake Livingston, the 22-year-old first started making waves in early 2020 with the raw, propulsive pop of his ‘Fairytale,’ off what would become his Lighthouse EP. During the pandemic his music popped off even more thanks to his compelling covers of everyone from Rihanna to Lewis Capaldi to Tate McCrae. During this time he also began on a remarkable journey of transformation, getting fit, shedding over 100lbs and writing, writing, writing. Eventually 250 songs were whittled down to his Republic Records debut full-length, ‘A Hometown Odyssey’ (2024), and the now the newly released deluxe version ‘A Hometown Odyssey: The Story Continues.’The singer opens up about his childhood in Denton, starting a one-man videography company before he’d even hit his teens, and how his love of and skills in film and editing have helped him in music. Livingston openly discusses bullying, being diagnosed as neurodivergent, and how doggedly following his dreams and telling his story from his perspective is connecting with fans all over the world. He also shares how his girlfriend of eight years has been instrumental in his success, working with his hero Macklemore, and so much more.

Virginia Gardner: Online Dating, Onscreen Puking, & new film ‘F*** Marry Kill’
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.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Eric Bauza: The Voice of Bugs Bunny & ‘The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie’
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.

Miyavi: His Mission to Rock, Perfectionism, New Album ‘Lost In Love, Found In Pain’
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.

Daniel Seavey | Love, Loss, Sobriety, New Album ‘Second Wind’
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.Stream "Second Wind" ►► https://tinyurl.com/ypjzyxw5SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uFollow The Zach Sang Show:https://tiktok.com/@zachsangshowhttps://www.instagram.com/zachsangshow/https://twitter.com/zachsangshowhttps://www.facebook.com/ZachSangShow/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
