    David Archuleta on Religion, Identity, and Reclaiming His Voice

    David Archuleta joins to talk about his deeply personal new memoir, Devout — and the raw three-song EP that accompanies the audiobook. David opens up about growing up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, wrestling with faith and sexuality, and the emotional toll of trying to reconcile religion with his identity as a queer man. He shares what it was like to feel called to honesty while simultaneously feeling pressured to hide, and how writing this book became a turning point in reclaiming his voice. The conversation explores: Why Devout became the right vessel for his story The courage it took to overshare — about family, faith, and dating Recording the audiobook in his own voice and the unexpected impact it had The vulnerable EP that serves as a musical prequel to his current era What he’d say to “younger David” stepping into the spotlight on American Idol Finding joy today — from the gym to the beach to late-night EDM shows Devout is out now, with the exclusive EP available through the audiobook.

    Concerts, Content & Condoms | Bad Bunny Drama, Stranger Things Wedding Shade & An Olympic “Shortage”

    This week on The Spout Podcast, Tamara Dhia and Nick Major break down the biggest headlines in pop culture and there’s no shortage of drama. Bad Bunny is fresh off a massive Super Bowl halftime moment, but Devin Booker isn’t exactly applauding. With Kendall Jenner back in the mix, the love triangle narrative resurfaces and the petty shade continues. Maya Hawke secretly tied the knot in New York City, turning her Valentine’s Day wedding into a full Stranger Things reunion, minus two very noticeable cast members. The internet has questions. Following the heartbreaking loss of Dawson’s Creek star James VanDerBeek, a multi-million dollar GoFundMe for his family sparks online backlash. The hosts unpack both sides of the debate and the larger issue of medical costs in America. At the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, organizers reportedly ran out of condoms in just three days inside the Olympic Village. Yes, really. The episode also dives into Ryan Murphy’s dramatized take on JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, Harry Styles stepping into full creative control of London’s Meltdown Festival, the return of Warped Tour, Netflix reviving Star Search with live voting, the newest season of Love Is Blind, and former President Obama’s latest comments on extraterrestrial life. Concerts, controversy, culture and a few unanswered questions about aliens — all in one episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Bad Bunny Reframed the Super Bowl

    This week on Spout, Erik Zachary and Tamara Dhia break down the most talked-about Super Bowl halftime shows of all time and why Bad Bunny’s performance landed so differently. From the sugarcane fields of Puerto Rico recreated on the field, to the now-iconic “human trees,” to surprise moments with Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, this wasn’t just a halftime show. Erik pulls back the curtain on the production mechanics (including the real reason those “trees” were people), while Tamara dives into the symbolism, representation, and emotional impact  especially for viewers who didn’t need to speak Spanish to enjoy the show. They also unpack: Why this became the most-watched halftime show ever The subtle (and not-so-subtle) cultural callbacks you might’ve missed Lady Gaga’s salsa-infused moment and why it added to the show The wedding on the field, the child watching his future self, and the power of visual storytelling Celebrity sightings, box-seat politics, and why hate-watching still counts What modern halftime shows get wrong and why this one got it right Whether you’re here for the music, the production, the culture, or the bigger conversation about live moments that actually matter, this episode is about why Bad Bunny didn’t just headline the Super Bowl… he reminded us why we still watch it.

    Lily Rose: The Song That Changed Everything — Five Years Later

    Five years to the day after Villain changed everything, Lily Rose hits a career milestone most artists only dream about — a platinum record, a sold-out tour, and a fully realized debut album. In this conversation, Lily Rose sits down with Erik Zachary to talk about the long road from part-time jobs and basketball refereeing to standing on the Opry stage, sharing it with artists she grew up idolizing. They dig into what actually makes a song connect, why Nashville has quietly become a pop-rock incubator, and how Lily studies crowds, choruses, and human behavior as closely as she studies music. Lily opens up about: The five-year journey of Villain and why it still closes her shows Her debut album I Know What I Want and why cohesion mattered more than chasing singles Writing with intention, collaboration, and honesty instead of formulas Touring life, burnout, and why downtime fuels her creativity How live arrangements, crowd energy, and discipline separate good shows from unforgettable ones This episode is a masterclass in patience, perspective, and playing the long game — for artists, creators, and anyone trying to build something that lasts.
