XYZ | 10am Taco Bell Run, Taylor Swift’s HOF Moment, and a Big Year Ahead for Music

from XYZ with Erik Zachary · host Erik Zachary

Audrey and Erik start the show with their very necessary 10am Taco Bell run. Taylor Swift makes history as the youngest woman artist to be inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame, followed by Mom’s Hot Take on whether Traylor might be holding off on their wedding. We get into it about arts high school versus traditional high school (Audrey took tap dancing to replace P.E.), then Jordan makes the case that 2026 could be a true “break the glass” year for the music industry. We close with Grammy news as all eight Best New Artist nominees are officially set to perform at the 2026 Grammys.Hosted by renowned television and radio personality Erik Zachary and his co-host Jordan Foster, XYZ with Erik Zachary is your escape from ordinary radio. There's conversation, music, and plenty of surprises - but make no mistake, this isn't your parents' radio show. (Although Erik’s mom drops by weekly with her own hot takes). XYZ’s mission: eliminate every reason you've ever reached for the aux cord.XYZ with Erik Zachary is nationally syndicated daily across the U.S. and available worldwide via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and more.
