This is an iHeart Podcast. 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.

I'm Jake Brennan, and on my podcast, Disgraceland, I tell the stories behind music's biggest names, like how the story of the Foo Fighters isn't just about music. It's about grief, shock, and the moment everything changed. Imagine that. You're in the biggest band on the planet, as Dave Grohl was in 1994 in Nirvana, and the phone rings, and you learn that your singer, your friend, the reluctant voice of a generation, Kurt Cobain, is dead. Listen to Disgraceland 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. Let's get to it. Time to do it. I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everybody.
Give me that exclusive. You don't feel alive out there, right? Lauren came in hot.
Hey y'all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa and this is another episode of The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. So today we are about to get into a conversation that I know is going to shake the room for sure. I'm going to move the Bronco grinding pillow. A little bit more in the screen, because this is about to be a real brown girl grinding conversation here, if it'll stay. This is about to be a real brown girl grinding conversation here, because joining me, I have a ASL interpreter. Her name is Cheyenne Atkins, and you guys may have seen her in some of her work. and work like hers because recently during the Essence Festival, and we talked about it here on the podcast as well too, there were a group of Black women ASL interpreters who went so viral during the Essence Festival for interpreting the concert space of the festival and just how they were doing it, going off, having a good time, and doing what Black people do, just bringing joy to everything that we do and everything that we touch.
So we're going to get into that conversation and the conversation overall about being an ASL interpreter. Those viral moments we see online when they go viral for various things, types of celebrity interaction and interpretation, and just the grind and the hustle of it all.
