Guaranteed human. Hey, Portlandia fans.

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.

This is Chelsea Handler from Dear Chelsea. Every week, the news gets worse, the world gets crazier, and Yamanika is here to tell whoever's responsible, you're the problem.
Do you know I just found out who Sidney Sweeney was? If he got a bunch of women, then I should have a bunch of men.
Do better or do less so I don't have to do so much. I'm Yamanika and I'm out. Listen to You're the Problem with Yamanika on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

There's so many possibilities and there's no sense in getting all stressed out about it going super wrong. I think so many people care so deeply about it going right that I feel good about our chances.
Today we're hanging out with Nico Moon. I love this guy. He has a song called Good Time. We're just trying to have a good time. But there's a whole lot more to him than just that song. Before he became a solo star, he was behind some of the biggest songs ever for Zac Brown Band, just as a writer. He's got a new record that we're going to talk about called Roots that I think you will really like. And It's a personal project about his family growing up in Georgia and the people who shaped him. But again, he has written so many massive songs. He's had songs for himself that have been really big. And we're going to talk about all of that. And this guy is such a ball of energy. Here is my conversation with Nico Moon.
Nico, good to see you. Great to see you too, man. Do you ever write a song and then go back once you've separated it from it and go, I don't know if I love that as much.
All the time.
Really? Yeah.
A lot of times it'll just be like a part of it. In the moment when we wrote it, I'm like, oh my God, I love this verse. That actually happened on one of the songs. And I think it was on Lakeside Summer. And after like a week or two, of listening to it, I was like, I don't like this verse. This melody is corny. What was I thinking, you know? And it's so funny because in the moment, I thought it was so great, but then after living with it, so it's funny how time or hindsight can sometimes be 20-20 for sure with songwriting.
If you don't fix it.
I like to tweak, go back and tweak.
