N'Sync was arguably one of the biggest boy bands during their run and group member Lance Bass wants to recount the golden days. He's asking other legendary acts to share their boy band memories as well.
Bass, along with his husband Michael Turchin, joined Cheddar News to talk about their new podcast Frosted Tips. The show focuses on the ups and downs of life from parenting to marriage and each week the pair catch up with some of their favorite boy bands. Think VH1's Where are They Now?
Bass revealed that the show was initially supposed to be done with BackStreet Boys singer Nick Carter. But since the group is touring, he tapped Turchin to pick up the duties.
"We just go down memory lane with these amazing, iconic boy band members because the fandoms for each group are huge and they're still so supportive," Bass told Cheddar News.
Bass also revealed that once they've exhausted their boy band connections, the show will expand into folks that once upon a time were teen idols. It's all about capturing moments of nostalgia, he said.
Turchin talked about working closely with Bass on a work project and they've long had professional chemistry and "work really well together," while a similar arrangement might not work for many couples.
So far, the show is just seven episodes in with appearances by N'Sync members, two Backstreet Boys, and there was even a New Kids on the Block appearance.
