? EARS TO THE GROUND-

Fans can be friends too: Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend is a comedy podcast that can get a little serious from time to time. After spending more than 25 years in the entertainment industry, Conan realized he’s never had a truly meaningful friendship. In fact, the only guests at his events are those he works with. To fix this problem, Conan kick-started this podcast as a chance to get to know people beyond the formalities and professional settings, making way for conversations that are as raw as they can get. Similar to the classic “The Talk” show, Conan focuses in his interviews on human-interest stories as well as current events and the latest headlines every once in a while. Our favorite episode so far is with Amir From Iran, who tells his firsthand experience about the situation in Tehran and what listeners can do to help.
