Bella Poarch returns for the second time and this time the US Navy veteran turned social media star turned pop powerhouse joins us to dig into her long-awaited debut album ‘Picnic at the Cemetery.’ An incredible visual artist and world-builder, Bella explains how the Filipino tradition of celebrating All Saints’ Day inspired the record, why cemeteries have always felt safe to her and the origin of the Bigheads — characters born partly from the imaginary friends who helped her through a childhood of bullying and abuse. She also opens up about depression, abandonment, maladaptive daydreaming (and what that is), and how writing ‘Ribcage’ made her realize the 20-plus songs she already had weren’t telling her full truth, ultimately changing the direction of the entire album.

Bella takes us inside songs including ‘Stay Gone,’ ‘Garden,’ ‘Tooth,’ ‘Nice to Meet Ya’ and ‘My Heaven Is Alone,’ reflecting on relationships, infidelity, and her experience in a military psychiatric ward, as well as the deeply personal story behind her angel wings and ship tattoos. A note before you watch — these tattoos are connected to her lowest point, when she came close to taking her own life. We also get into her taking control and becoming a producer, working with Lucas Sim and Melanie Martinez, her ‘Wednesday’ covers, deleting ‘M to the B,’ writing a Bigheads storybook, her cats Pee Pee, Wee Wee and Doo Doo, why her best ideas come in the bathroom and, crucially, when we’re finally going to teach Bella how to ride a bike.

Tove Lo is back! One of our favorite return guests joins us to talk about her sixth album, ‘Estrus,’ out September 18, and the twisty four-year road that led her there. She breaks down the meaning behind the title — a female animal being “in heat” and why this resonates for her — and gets into writing the record in a tiny fishing village in Sweden, her Swedish versus LA selves, diving headfirst into dance music with SG Lewis and her DJ crew Ladies of Leisure.
Tove also gets into what it’s like writing about love nine years into a relationship and contemplating motherhood. Are situationships harder to get over than relationships? And what’s up with her exes resurfacing whenever she releases new music — a phenom she addresses in “The Bad One.”

Plus, we get into everything from her childhood detective alter ego Bianca Glitter Rose to working with Lisa and Rosalía, her relationship with mentor Max Martin, her stubbornness around ‘Habits (Stay High),’ why she prefers keeping the behind-the-scenes process behind the scenes, and whether she’s finally learned how to drive.

21-year-old Japanese-Canadian actress Miku Martineau joins us to talk about her two very different Netflix worlds: returning as Yumeko in Season 2 of ‘Bet’ and starring as Teagan in ‘Crew Girl.’ She breaks down how she approached a character with existing manga lore versus building Teagan from the ground up, the surprising similarities between the two, going blonde for ‘Crew Girl,’ learning to row, doing her own stunts and what her gymnastics and Muay Thai background brings to the job. Plus, she teases ‘Bet’ Season 2 — which wrapped filming this summer — working with Saweetie, dives into the Yumekira fandom and weighs in on the messy Teagan-Josh-Cam love triangle.

Miku also takes us back to growing up in Toronto, her parents’ restaurant, getting a scholarship to study film and TV acting in New York at 12 and landing an agent at 13 — despite once being told her braces would stop her from getting roles. We talk Japanese-Canadian representation, K-pop dance classes, hockey, volleyball, cast friendships, and her cat Brick. Would she date another actor? You’ll have to watch to find out. Oh, and she clears up one persistent internet rumor: her dad does not work as a voice director. Dang Wiki.

The inimitable Joey King joins us on the couch to talk about joining Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock in ‘Practical Magic 2.’ At just 27, Joey has already been acting for more than two decades, starting out in commercials at four before landing her breakout role opposite Selena Gomez in ‘Ramona and Beezus’ (which we chat about of course). In this wide-ranging convo she reflects on growing up on-screen, auditioning as the real work, and why acting is, inherently, a little embarrassing.

Joey also gets into her longtime ‘Practical Magic’ fandom, working with Nicole and Sandy, the sisterhood at the heart of the movie, casting spells on set and midnight margaritas with her legendary co-stars. Plus, she talks texting with Nicole for life advice (as well as interrupting Nic and Zac Efron’s onscreen tryst in ‘A Family Affair,’ while almost choking on a grape), shaving her head and growing it back (and shaving it again and again), working with Christopher Nolan, learning from Patricia Arquette, her marriage to director Steven Piet, her bestie Sabrina Carpenter, being haunted on the set of ‘The Conjuring,’ and her ICONIC, shoulda-been-award-winning role as Gypsy Rose Blanchard — plus so much more!

Medium Build, aka 35-year-old Nick Carpenter, joins us to talk about his new album 'King of Having Fun' and the evolution that brought him here. What starts off as a chat about his gold tooth winds up as a wide-ranging, earnest, honest, and very funny conversation covering his evangelical upbringing in Georgia, his hedonistic years in Anchorage, Alaska, his time in Nashville, his breakthrough 2024 album 'Country,' and some of the songs on his latest LP, including 'Perceived,' 'Feed the Boys' and 'Thank You, Cook.' Nick also gets into his complicated relationship with attention and acclaim, opens up about why he drank and his sobriety, and speaks candidly about the complicated line between embracing his queerness and feeling like he’s commodifying it, and so much more. This new record is his best yet, with that mindset reflected in an upbeat, high-def collection that still retains his ability to dig deep.
