COMEDY
After 25 years at the Late Night desk, Conan realized that the only people at his holiday party are the men and women who work for him. Over the years and despite thousands of interviews, Conan has never made a real and lasting friendship with any of his celebrity guests. So, he started a podcast to do just that. Deeper, unboundedly playful, and free from FCC regulations, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend is a weekly opportunity for Conan to hang out with the people he enjoys most and perhaps find some real friendship along the way.

My inner nerd child just dances around gleefully every time I listen. Alie and her team make the episodes super interesting, even if you are put off by titles like “sewer rat.”

Imagine you’re European. You think ‘Why on Earth would you mix peanut butter and marmalade?’ Then you try it. It’s delicious. You want more. This podcast is like this. You try one weird thing and you cannot stop. It’s like a PBJ sandwich. But for your brain. And it’s healthy. Get Ologies in your brain. Thanks Ologies team. Thanks Alie. I love this.
