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.

In this episode, I dive into the chaotic, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartfelt world of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I talk drama, friendships, miscommunications, and in the words of Heather Gay: “receipts; proof; timeline.” Plus, one lingering thought about what we might learn from watching our own lives the way we watch theirs.

This week, I’m talking about the Walk for Peace — a 2,300‑mile journey led by Buddhist monks to spread a message of compassion and non‑violence. After attending their visiting hours in Lexington, SC, I was struck by the power of their message and the thousands of people who came out to support them. In this short episode, I reflect on what I loved, what I noticed, and the lingering thought that peace is a choice we make again and again.

Welcome back to Zach Has Opinions! In this week's episode, I am talking about the increasingly popular book series: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. Join me in the dungeon as I tell you the one thing I loved, one thing I noticed, and the lingering thought that is still fighting danger dingos in my mind about this amazing book. You'll learn something about me and might be enticed to pick up the book or open audible.

Welcome back to Zach Has Opinions! In this episode, I'm talking about New Year's resolutions - the fun ones, the stressful ones, and the ones we choose because everyone else is doing them. I explore why so many resolutions don't stick (at least for me), how to avoid unnecessary pressure, and why the best goals are the ones that actually feel like support. Plus, I share the one simple resolution I've kept for over fifteen years.

The best part? I do all of that in less than five minutes.

Does the world really need another podcast? Probably not, but here's mine anyway! I started a podcast with nothing but a headset, a free hosting account, and too many thoughts. Episode 1 is all about why I did it - and it's less than 5 minutes long.

Are you hoping for more opinions? You're in luck! Stay tuned for Episode 2 of Zach Has Opinions. The focus? New Year's resolutions. In less than 5 minutes, I provide one thing I love, one thing I've noticed, and one lingering thought about "New Year, New you...?"

If you're over "New Year, New Me," tune in on Friday January 9th. In the meantime, head over to the Zach Has Opinions official Bluesky Account for episode updates, teasers, and more.

Episode 1 of Zach Has Opinions is here. The full episode? 3 minutes and 15 seconds. This teaser? 30 seconds. I know you've spiraled about something for longer, so why not take a break and take a listen to a new podcast no one asked for, but you're getting anyway!
