"Everything that made you reach for the aux cord stays outside the studio"

XYZ is what happens when conversation, culture, and music talk are built for 2026.

Hosted by Erik Zachary (MTV, iHeartRadio, Nickelodeon, The CW) alongside Jordan Foster (Kiss FM Chicago) and Producer Audrey (Gen Z compass) the show blends journalism, sharp commentary, and vertical screen fluency. In short - this is not your parents radio show (even if Erik's mom Virginia still delivers a weekly Mom's Hot Take). Welcome to radio that sounds like to the people who listen to it.

Welcome to XYZ with Erik Zachary.
