Welcome to Voulez-Vous with Zach and Steve!

This is our very first episode, where we talk about who we are, why we listen to ABBA, our favorite ABBA songs, and what we have planned for the show.

1: Knowing Me, Knowing You

We talk about ABBA's first album, Ring Ring. We explore the Voulez-Vous origin story, Swedish pop, and – eventually, somewhat reluctantly – about the album.

2: Ring Ring

In our third episode, we talk about Abba's second album, Waterloo. Steve starts an international conflict over Olivia Newton John, Zach shills for canned beverages, and we learn what happens when Abba writes a Jimmy Buffet song.

3: Waterloo/Eurovision

In this episode, we talk about the album ABBA – not to be confused with The Album by ABBA – and cover pandering to Australians, the mom from Queer as Folk, Zach's pop stardom & new Pinto, why ABBA won't give up reggae when they know it's no good for them, and much much more.

4: ABBA (The Album [Not ABBA: The Album])

The Voulez-Vous gang takes the show on the road and goes to see Mamma Mia! on Broadway. We chat with members of the public and cast members from the show about their Abba stories and much more!

5: Mamma Mia!

This week on Voulez-Vous, we listen to Arrival and talk about One Direction, blood horses, sleepy songwriting, and much more. It's Abba: now with less reggae!

6: Arrival

This week, the guys talk about The Album by ABBA, not to be confused with ABBA (the album), but they are both albums by ABBA I guess? Join us for a discussion of schlager, Swedish ghost possession, and Baby Geniuses while we sip canned beverages and talk about ABBA.

7: ABBA: The Album

On this episode of Voulez-Vous, Zach and Steve take us through a magical journey through Australia. Or at least the Australia that was in the 1978 ABBA movie. Join us as for a chat about good music that we're listening to lately; weird made up names for movies and musicals; and, of course, lots of love for ABBA.

8: ABBA: The Movie

Today Zach and Steve talk about our namesake ABBA album, Voulez-Vous! Joined by special guest Rod Thomas, aka Bright Light Bright Light, they discuss how hard and strange it is to write holiday and patriotic music, how lucky British schoolkids are to sing ABBA in choir, and Steve's childhood Ace of Base daydreams.

9: Voulez-Vous

On this episode of Voulez Vous, Zach and Steve review Super Trouper, ABBA's best (or maybe second best) album. Other topics include technology and relationships, Green Day, and trying out some new sponsors.

10: Super Trouper

On this week's Very Special Episode, Zach and Steve revisit some of their favorite episodes of Friends, a television show neither of them have ever seen. Join us as we remember the time Rachel got a new haircut, when Joey makes a mouse friend, and the one where Blythe Danner and Rodney Dangerfield have a multi-episode Will They Won't They story arc.

11: The One Where Zach & Steve Have Never Seen Friends

Our favorite bits from our first 10 episodes. The perfect way to share Voulez-Vous with a friend!

12: Intermezzo No. 1

In the new year, we are finally back! Zach and Steve talk to DJ Crystal Clear about her visit to the Abba Museum in Stockholm Sweden last year, her conversation(s) with Yoko Ono, and the songs Benny writes at home in his bathrobe. 

13: Tales From The ABBA Museum

In which Zach and Steve have many feelings in the New Year and finally through them. Also, Abba tribute bands and the melancholic "Happy New Year!" 

14: Happy (Belated) New Year

Zach and Steve take on Abba's final studio album, THE VISITORS, as they both depart for other parts of the country. They wonder: is Slipping Through My Fingers better than The Winner Takes It All? Do the mandolins at the beginning of One of Us sound Portuguese or Italian? 

15: THE VISITORS!

Zach and Steve take on the most difficult album to talk about of all, in this massive outtake from a recent episode: THEIR OWN FEELINGS. Also, social media. Also, friendship. 

16 Feelings

Zach and Steve reunite to discuss Abba's one live album, "Live at Wembley," the virtues of the Swedes' between-song banter, wild tempo shifts, and if Agnetha should be playing the piano. 

17 Live At Wembley!

Zach and Steve approach the monolith that kicked off Abba's resurgence in the 1990s: ABBA GOLD. What tracks deserve greatest hit status? Which songs would they put on the list instead?

18 ABBA GOLD

Zach & Steve return to discuss the last 2 years in ABBA news as well as the summer's hottest blockbuster, "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again".

19 Here We Go Again!

A funny and (occasionally) informative podcast about all things ABBA.
