ABOUT ZANE AND HEATH: UNFILTERED

Like many other popular content creators, Zane Hijazi and Heath Hussar got their start on Vine, a now-defunct short-form video app, ultimately leading them to start their own YouTube channels as part of David Dobrik’s “Vlog Squad,” a group of friends who became top YouTube creators. Transitioning over to the podcast space, Zane and Heath: Unfiltered is hosted by Hijazi and Hussar themselves, two uneducated Florida boys with strong opinions and little to back them. Joined by Matt King and Mariah Amato, each episode contains raw, uncut, and unfiltered stories that give you a behind-the-scenes look into the craziness that transpires among their group when the cameras stop rolling. Be sure to grab your coffee and tune in Monday mornings as Zane and Heath bring the juice and the funny to the start of your week!
