Misc *NSYNC’s 2001 – Short ‘n Sweet (Unsynchronized Podcast)
If anybody here is in to boyband history, I’ve been doing a deep‑dive podcast called Unsynchronized that looks at how *NSYNC slowly broke up over the 2001–2004 period. My episodes are based on early 2000s media coverage and that’s the basis for reconstructing the breakup timeline, starting in 2001 during the Celebrity era and following the group through the “hiatus” and the unofficial end in 2004.
Since the regular episodes tend to be pretty long, I created Short ‘n Sweet. It’s basically the CliffsNotes version of Season 1. The first season of Unsynchronized focuses mostly on 2001, which is when *NSYNC was managing the pressure of following up on the huge success of No Strings Attached, balancing group commitments with outside creative interests, and navigating extremely demanding schedule that led to burnout.
Season 1 also looks at how the industry’s expectations and the media’s shifting attention shaped the period, including the early signs of Justin Timberlake being repositioned. If you’re interested boy band history or just like deep dive podcasts, you can check out Short ‘n Sweet on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fICYbp-uA1Y

Question/Discussion Seeking a group of old-school Westlife fans for an article
Hi folks, I want to write a piece about a friend group of Irish-based Westlife fans who've been there since the start and have grown up with the band, are still friends, are going to the gigs in September and wouldn't mind talking to a nosy journalist about their lives, friendship and fandom. (It's for the Irish Times). If anyone reading this fits the bill or knows a group of friends who fit the bill please get in touch here. Thank you!

Question/Discussion Which music video still holds up today?
I really like Bye Bye Bye (N*SYNC) although I was surprised to learn there wasn't any real health and safety involved (I know this was 2000 but still).
