EXCLUSIVE: Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast is nearing 500 episodes, having featured interviews with the likes of Daniel Craig, Adam Sandler, Henry Cavill, Tom Hanks and Mila Kunis.
Horowitz has now signed a partnership with Kast Media to market, distribute and monetize the show.
It comes as the celebrity interviewer is putting up massive numbers for recent episodes including more than 14M for a recent chat with Kate Winslet in December.
Horowitz, who covers film and TV for Paramount Global across its MTV, Comedy Central, and Paramount+ outlets, launched the podcast in 2014 and set it up on YouTube at the end of 2022.
It features interviews with actors and filmmakers and hosts live taping at the 92nd Street Y in New York.
Kast Media is behind podcasts such as The Sarah Silverman Podcast, Rachel Bilson’s Broad Ideas and The Twilight Effect.
As part of the multi-year deal, Kast Media and Horowitz are developing premium, live-streaming, and other content offerings for Happy Sad Confused’s fanbase.
Happy Sad Confused is produced by Horowitz and executive produced by Scott Porch and Kristian Harloff for Big IP Media.
“Happy Sad Confused began as a passion project and as a way for me to engage with the actors and filmmakers I admire in sometimes deep, sometimes silly, and most importantly always entertaining conversations,” Horowitz said. “Kast Media is the perfect home for bringing this show to a passionate and larger pop culture-obsessed audience.”
“Josh brings a compelling perspective and flavor to the world of entertainment and culture. His interviews are disarmingly fun and unassuming – his secret sauce – allowing him to pull insights from his celebrity guests you can’t find in other interviews,” added Colin

a happy birthday in this goofy video posted to Instagram—because he doesn’t actually use the words happy birthday. He did write in the caption, “Celebrate it Marsha,” which is really more of a command than a wish. In the video, which was filmed from two inches away from his eyeballs, Meloni stage-whispers, “Marsha! Are you there?” (True fans know that “Marsha” is Meloni’s nickname for Hargitay, and one half of why the duo’s shippers call themselves “Marshmelons.”) Meloni continues, zooming in on a single eyeball, “Do you know what today is? I do.” The actor pauses and starts to say, “Happy…” and then the video cuts off. My favorite thing about this clip is how oddball it is.
