Episode Four: push baby (Jake Roche and Charley Bagnall)
After cycling through names over the years, U.K.-based pop group push baby feels like they're now in their element. Members Jake Roche and Charley Bagnall are a year and some change past the birth of their first experimental, ever-creative pop EP, "Woah," and are already anticipating what's to come with their next project following the recent release of "Wanna Go." Roche and Bagnall chatted with us for our fourth episode, a chat that included a lesson on cherrypickers.

Episode Three: Jaret Reddick
Just 35 years after 1985, 16 years after "1985," and 104 days of summer vacation later, multi-faceted entertainer and Bowling for Soup's lead vocalist broke down his pop-punk smash hits, how his popular 2004 track could be a place of pop culture "discovery" for kids and what it was like to craft the song for the title sequence Candace complained to her mom about.

Episode Two: Andrew Garcia
A decade separated from his days on "American Idol," Andrew Garcia's cool voice and smooth tone still drive his tunes, even though he hasn't been able to perform them in-person for a few months. We talked to Andrew about "Straight Up," his use of social media throughout his career and his latest Sound M.O.B.-produced number "Won't Stop."

Episode One: Baha Men (with artists Rik Carey and Dyson Knight)
As the 20th anniversary of "Who Let The Dogs Out" approaches in July, Baha Men members Rik Carey and Dyson Knight broke down the impact of the monumental song which has shaken a number of baseball stadiums and children's movie soundtracks for years. Plus, the two discussed the feel good vibes of "Take A Chance" (Motion Repeat), the latest single in their catalog which they hope will bring positivity to an otherwise atypical summer in 2020.
