'Young Entertainment' Hosts Reveal Why Gen Z Can’t Get Enough Of ‘Ginny & Georgia’

The "Young Entertainment Podcast" just dropped an episode featuring "Ginny & Georgia" creator Sarah Lampert, and fans of the hit Netflix series are in for a treat.

Hosted by Daniella Szetela and Mordechai of "Young Entertainment," the episode dives deep into the origin story of the mother-daughter dramedy that’s captivated millions, while offering rare insight into the creative force behind it all.

“Sarah was the perfect guest because 'Ginny & Georgia' is truly her brainchild,” the hosts told The Blast exclusively. “She doesn’t just know the characters. We get to hear directly from the person who created them. Her perspective offers something fans can’t get anywhere else.”

But it wasn’t just behind-the-scenes details that made the conversation special.

“Hearing Sarah describe her ‘Cinderella moment’ when Netflix picked up the show was incredibly moving,” the hosts revealed. “It was emotional, inspiring, and a reminder that sometimes dreams do come true in the most unexpected ways. It’s proof that your wildest dreams can come true when you least expect it.”

Lampert also opened up about what it means to write for Gen Z, a demographic that "Ginny & Georgia" has resonated with in a massive way.

According to the hosts, that’s because the show “reflects real issues Gen Z is facing, mental health, identity, friendships, complicated family dynamics, without sugarcoating them. It offers a mix of escapism and truth, and Gen Z really values that kind of authenticity.”

Since its launch, "The Young Entertainment Podcast" has made it its mission to spotlight the creators driving today’s biggest teen and YA hits. Daniella and Mordechai say they take curating guests seriously, and fan input plays a huge role.

“We’re always listening to the fans and to the culture,” they explained. “We spend time on Reddit, X, Discord, and in comment sections, asking the individuals on those platforms which creators and actors they would like to hear from most and what questions they want us to ask. From there, we dig into how to create conversations that go beyond surface-level questions. That’s where the magic is!”

And that magic continues to evolve. “We’re still in the early stages, but the heart of our podcast has always been to spotlight the people behind the shows we all love,” they said.

“Think about it like this... You love chatting with your bestie about your favorite show that you’re currently watching. Our podcast is just that," the duo added. "But we take it to the next level by having these incredible entertainment industry icons on our show as pop guests!”

While Lampert’s "Ginny & Georgia" episode has quickly become a fan favorite, it’s far from the only standout conversation featured on the "Young Entertainment Podcast." The series continues to spotlight rising stars and creators as they navigate their first major milestones in the industry.

In a recent episode, "The Summer I Turned Pretty" actor Logan Kelly opened up about his first major project and what it was like working alongside breakout star Lola Tung. Meanwhile, fans of Disney’s "Zombies" franchise got a behind-the-scenes look at "Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires" when MK tried her hand at special effects makeup for the very first time on camera.

The podcast also recently hosted "How to Train Your Dragon" stars Mason Thames and Nico Parker, who shared their excitement (and nerves) stepping into the epic world of Berk for the beloved animated franchise’s live-action adaptation.

So what’s next for the podcast? The duo hopes to keep delivering behind-the-scenes access and emotional resonance, especially as teen TV continues to transform.

“There’s something magical about watching characters experience ‘firsts.' First kisses, first heartbreaks, first real wins,” they said. “Those moments never get old, and Gen Z content is leaning into that nostalgia in a fresh, cinematic way that we love.”
