Season 1 Finale: Reflections & 315 Connections

I wrap up Season 1 with a look back at the episodes that shaped the show, a fun bit of Central New York happenstance, and a glimpse into what Season 2 might bring. A cozy, reflective send‑off to the first chapter of Zach Has Opinions.

The TikTok Trend that Has Me Smiling

This week, I'm talking about one of the current TikTok trends all over my FYP - the one where cute animals do something boring or mundane, but their mere existence is enough to fill you with a small amount of joy.

The Song That Called Me Out

In this week’s episode, I’m talking about the song that’s been living rent‑free in my brain — High Priestess by Qveen Herby — and why its message hit me harder than I expected. It’s a reflection on burnout, the grief of who we used to be, and the work of letting go so we can meet the dark with our light. If you’ve ever had a lyric call you out in the gentlest, most necessary way… this one’s for you.

I Have Opinions... But Not All of Them Are Shareable

In this week’s episode, I’m talking about why some opinions (even the non‑controversial ones) end up unspoken. It’s a reflection on navigating a world where everyone feels on edge, and why channeling our passion into thoughtful action matters more than ever.

Finding Light when the World Feels Heavy

The world feels big and scary right now, and staying positive can feel impossible. But this week, a long spring evening with a dear friend reminded me that joy still exists in the quiet places — in laughter, in connection, in the people who let us be fully human. This episode explores the tension between heaviness and hope, and how our people help us hold both at the same time.

Terraforming, Happiness, and One Very Special Pikachu

This week, I’m talking about Pokémon Pokopia, the game that’s captured my attention with its calm energy, creative freedom, and nostalgic charm. From exploring and building to discovering new Pokémon, here’s why this cozy little world has become my new happy place.

Curated Perfection (and Bronchitis)

I was sick last week and recorded a series of unhinged Snapchat voice notes that accidentally turned into the blueprint for this episode. So today, we’re talking curated perfection, parasocial comparison, IRL growth, and the beauty of leaving a little wabi‑sabi in everything we make — including this podcast. Featuring a snippet of the original bronchitis chaos. And don't forget to follow the official "Zach Has Opinions" social media stream on Bluesky.

Oh Nuo... A Magical Night In Charlotte

This week, I’m sharing my thoughts on seeing Lucy Darling live in Charlotte — the laughter, the magic, the storytelling, and the unexpected moments of connection. Here’s what I loved, what I noticed, and the lingering thought I carried home from a truly enchanting night.

Bad Bunny, FANTASTIC Performance

In this episode, I talk about Bad Bunny’s unforgettable halftime show and the way his passion, culture, and artistry radiated from the stage. You didn’t need to understand every lyric to feel the impact. I share what stood out, what got lost in the noise, and the lingering thought about how we show up with our own passions.

Mega Yacht, Mega Thoughts

This week, I’m sharing my thoughts on Season 10 of Below Deck: Mediterranean — from Captain Sandy’s steady leadership to the crew’s resilience and Chef Josh’s incredible food. A short spiral about kindness, chaos, and five‑star drama on the high seas.
