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 MacLachlan, 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. What's up, fam? I'm sports journalist Ari Chambers. Hey, what's up, y'all? It's your girl, Sam Jay. And we're the hosts of Everyone Watches Women's Sports, a new podcast from Together and iHeart Women's Sports. We're breaking down the biggest headlines. Naomi Osaka showing out. Shout out to you, Naomi. The viral moments. I've been obsessed with Kashawn Rock's boxing journey. She looks good. Her combos are swift. And the stories everyone's talking about across women's sports.
Because everyone watches women's sports. Listen to Everyone Watches Women's Sports on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Jake Brennan, and on the Disgraceland podcast, I explore the wild lives of rock stars and unbelievable true crime stories from music history. These are the stories you haven't heard, the kind you'll end up telling someone else. Like the time Paul McCartney spent in a notorious prison or the bizarre crime Lady Gaga is accused of. Or that time Blondie's Debbie Harry escaped Ted Bundy. Listen to Disgraceland on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, Sagar and Crystal here.

Good morning, everybody. Happy Tuesday. Welcome to Breaking Points. Emily, great to see you.
Great to see you, Crystal. Good to be here.
Yeah, a lot to get into this morning. We've got Trump saying that he is ready to go back to war with Iran as they say they are not interested in negotiations. Americans buying fewer groceries as Trump claims this is the best year America has ever had. I wonder if people out there are really feeling that sentiment right now. Abdul El-Sayed faced off versus Haley Stevens in a big debate last night as that race comes to a dramatic conclusion. AI companies are buying and shredding rare books en masse in their latest assault on humanity. Mitch McConnell, is he dead or alive? The reporter who has been staking out his hospital literally every day is going to join us. I'm really excited to talk to her and learn what she has gleaned in reading the tea leaves, some of the big questions she has about the lack of communication that we are getting from him and his team.
And Francesca Hong might be the first socialist governor in American history. She is up in the Wisconsin Democratic primary. And Emily, I know you've taken great interest in this one. I mean, this would be a major, major significant development if you had a socialist who not only won the Democratic primary, but obviously then would be in contention to become the governor of a swing state.
