Amy Poehler is irreplaceable

What sets this show apart is Amy's genuine love for the people she talks to. You can feel in every episode that these are real friendships and real conversations, not promotional interviews. The Tina Fey episode made me emotional in a way I didn't expect.

Warm, funny, and unexpectedly deep

I started listening for the celebrity guests and kept listening for Amy. She's one of those rare interviewers who makes guests feel completely safe being vulnerable. Every episode has at least one moment that genuinely surprised me.
