  • There are gems in every episode

    As the conversations evolve each podcast discovers shining and funny moments.

    Conan’s podcasts are like good improvisational music. You know who the players will be, but you never know exactly what will happen.

    I look forward to each one!

    Additional note: Does Matt realize what a funny reference this is: “Cook, cook, where’s my hasenpfeffer?” I shout this out before dinner on a weekly basis!
