Plug into conversations (and sometimes solo episodes) of pure gold hosted by Zach Grossfeld as he chats with creatives, athletes, scientists, and others who pique his curiosity and do dope shit.

Whether it's tripping balls on acid, the possibility of an Earth-shattering nuclear war, or diving 120 meters underwater in a single breath, no topic is off limits.

Past guests include FINNEAS (Music Artist, Songwriter), Mark Normand (comedian), Aubrey de Grey (Longevity Scientist), Eben Britton (NFL, Psychonaut), Andy Weir (The Martian, Project Hail Mary), Brian Toon (Nuclear War Expert), William Trubridge (Freediver), Coleman Hughes (writer, philosopher), Ryan Serhant (Sell It Like Serhant), Taylor Burrowes (Dating Coach), and hundreds more.
