Om Podcasten

AUX as in "aux chord." ORO as in Spanish for "gold." Zach's friends told him this was a stupid name and to please pick anything but that, so five minutes later he registered the domain AUXORO.com, and The AUXORO Podcast was born. Plug into conversations of pure gold hosted by Zach Grossfeld as he chats with creatives, athletes, scientists, and others who pique his curiosity and do dope shit. Sometimes, Zach also records solo episodes where he tries to be funny to make up for the fact that he doesn't have a guest. Whether it's tripping balls on acid, the possibility of an Earth-shattering nuclear war, or diving 120 meters underwater in a single breath, no topic is off limits. Past guests include FINNEAS (Music Artist, Songwriter), Mark Normand (comedian), Aubrey de Grey (Longevity Scientist), Eben Britton (NFL, Psychonaut), Andy Weir (The Martian, Project Hail Mary), Brian Toon (Nuclear War Expert), William Trubridge (Freediver), Coleman Hughes (writer, philosopher), Ryan Serhant (Sell It Like Serhant), Taylor Burrowes (Dating Coach), and hundreds more.
