Guaranteed human. Hey, Portlandia fans.
Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen here.
The dream of the 90s is alive in podcast form.
We're launching Podlandia AO Rewatch, our brand new podcast where we revisit every episode of Portlandia together, breaking down sketches, going deep on our iconic characters, and pulling back the curtain on how it all got made.
And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life. Guest stars, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Kreisel, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more.
Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvised not just words, but a song, a melody.
Well, I thought you were all going to write a song.
I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia, AO Rewatch on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
My first guest is Paris Hilton. Shakira. Luke and Yerin. We have surprises. Many surprises. Welcome to the Sweet 305 podcast where the group chat comes to life. What up? You're the only person I know that loves a yellow Starburst. It's lemonade. This is Sweet 305. Here, oversharing is encouraged.

Indeed we do. So more American service members have been killed and wounded. We've got the details of that as we seem to be hurtling back towards all-out war. Murtaza Hussein is also going to join us to take a look at the strikes between Iran and the U.S., and try to gleam what we can about the military strategy involved from each. We're also going to do a deep dive into the oil market. How long can it sustain without massive skyrocketing prices? Prices are already going back up, so we'll take a look at that as well. Friend of the show, Phil Wegman, with a big scoop on some insider trading, alleged scandal between a Republican member of Congress and a prominent mega-influencer. We've got new details about the psycho ice maniac who killed an immigrant in Maine.
Pretty shocking who this guy was and what his ex-wives have to say about him, as documented in court records. And Tim Dillon is sounding off on J.D. Vance. Had to play a few of these clips. They're quite extraordinary. I, of course, watch the whole show, which is definitely worth checking out.
