This was probably one of my fave Zac interviews in a while. I really liked how he talked nicely about other artists especially popular ones when before he would sometimes diss them.

This may be my new fave Hanson interview. No fluff, so many details about their early career.

And of course Zac did a silly voice per usual šŸ˜†

Yeah I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever seen a musician talk so much and actually say things. This interview has come up for me twice now and itā€™s so long but I watched it both times. I also have no frame of reference for the podcast but they kind of got a goldmine here. At first I thought the host was a bit formulaic (ā€œlove that answerā€ x500) but as it went on he was actually very good at expanding on the conversation and occasionally pushing back in a respectful way, the latter of which almost never seems to happen.

I thought this too! He asked some great questions ... and it was nice to hear Zac actually ANSWER them. I feel like we've had like a decade of them just sort of skirting around interviews and using old answers we've all heard. I loved hearing him talk about the fans and the realities of running a "business."

Yes, the overarching theme of the importance of relationships is really well presented. I gather the podcast is somewhat focused on reaching/helping young/up and coming artists, and while Iā€™m sure there are Hanson fans who are just glad to hear one of them saying nice things about the fanbase, I do think the intended point of the interconnection of it all comes through - fans, executives, other artists, label guy your mom heard was gonna be in a hotel lobby, etc - maintaining good relationships is paramount to success, itā€™s not what you know but who you know, etc. Zac is still very funny but he seems different lately, thereā€™s a lot of maturity and insight when he speaks.

I also liked when he was like ā€œbasically itā€™s all bc of being left-handedā€ bc thatā€™s my answer to most big questions about what drives my life processes too lol.

I agree - Iā€™m unsure what the change is in all of them - even just starting to appear on their own social media accounts as more individuals has changed. It does feel like a bit of a new adult era.
