Host Andy Richter asks the same three questions to each guest: Where do you come from? Where are you going? What have you learned? These three simple questions, when answered honestly and thoughtfully, are enough to provide a pretty complete picture of who a person is. The answers are what Andy always wants to know about people. This will not be a one-sided process, as Andy won’t shy away from get... more

  • Andy is the best

    I’m so happy for Andy. I’ve been a fan since staying up late as a 13-year-old in the summer of ‘94 to watch Late Night. Now I keep up with him via the podcast and radio show, which are both outstanding. He is a great host, very comfortable with guests and asking questions, and a great voice for audio media. I have only followed his Dancing with the Stars run via the podcast, but hearing him talk about how much it meant to him on his 11/18/25 episode was a powerful and emotional experience.

  • One of my favorites

    Andy Richter has become one of my favorite podcast hosts. Good guests, good questions, and the call in show is great. I feel like he brings out the best in people. And, of course, funny and surprising. A full course meal with dessert.

  • Try to listen better

    I like Andy Richter and the idea of this podcast. I think he could use to listen better to his guests. He could also try not to interrupt his guests to mansplain what they just said or inject his loosely related point.

  • Good-natured, laughs and interesting chats

    Love how this show is laid-back and yet still interesting. I think one of the reasons is that Andy seems to be very humble, and genuinely interested in learning about other people and building them up.

    An interesting question to ask people is, “What is something that you didn’t think you were gonna like but you ended up liking it a lot?”
