Zane and Heath: Unfiltered

Zane Hijazi and Heath Hussar first got famous through Vine, then built massive YouTube followings with their Vlog Squad content alongside David Dobrik. But their podcast, launched in 2019, is where you actually get to know them as people rather than characters in someone else's vlogs. The show has over 300 episodes and an absurd 33,000-plus ratings on Apple Podcasts with a 4.9-star average, which tells you something about the loyalty of their fanbase. The format is a weekly conversation, typically running an hour to ninety minutes, where Zane and Heath talk about their lives, relationships, embarrassing stories, and whatever's happening in pop culture. They bring on friends and fellow creators as guests fairly often, but the strongest episodes are usually just the two of them riffing. Zane's the louder, more impulsive one. Heath tends to play it cooler and drops observations that catch you off guard. They balance each other well. What sets this apart from other YouTuber podcasts is that Zane and Heath actually lean into vulnerability. They've talked openly about Zane's struggles with substance abuse and recovery, Heath's anxiety, and the pressures of growing up in the public eye. Those moments land hard precisely because they're sandwiched between genuinely funny conversation. The podcast has survived the decline of the Vlog Squad era because it stands on its own. Zane and Heath have built something that doesn't depend on anyone else's brand. If you grew up watching their content online, this is the grown-up version. And if you've never seen a single video, the show still works because good conversation doesn't need context.
