conan o’brien needs a friend
team coco and earwolf
length: 20-70 minutes
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 thou sands 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.
fail better with david duchovny
lemonada media
length: 50-60 minutes
Why am making a podcast? The best answer can come up with is that I feel like I've been failing my entire life, so can speak from plenty of experience. Sure, I was on The X Files and Californication, wrote some books and made some music. But also got a literal F in The New York Times. I had a high-profile divorce and a magical mystery tour through rehab. So now I want to get into the way that failure looms over all of us and really shapes who we are. What's good about that, what's bad about that, what's holding us back in shame? Lots to unpack here. So join me and some cool guests from sports, ty, politics, business and beyond.

rainn wilson
