We found the mayor, and he's joining us in the studio. Kyle MacLachlan exemplifies everything great about the Pacific Northwest. A brilliant performer, with an eclectic set of hobbies, and gentle humor and charm that ensnared all of us at Podlandia. Kyle discusses how he came to Portlandia, which famous actor-turned-singer inspired his Portland theme song, and whether David Lynch was a fan of the series.
Did you hear the mayor is missing? It's another packed episode for Fred, and it's one of Carrie's favorite episodes of season one. This episode is packed with superstar guests. Aubrey Plaza found herself in two separate sketches. Kumail Nanjiani makes his series debut and delivers a performance so hilarious he would eventually become one of the most revisited guest stars in the series' history. We've also got Edie McClurg of P...
Singer, songwriter, and occasional actress Aimee Mann joins Fred and Carrie to recount an entire episode came to be named after her. The trio also discuss life on the road, their favorite songwriters, and the highs and lows of life as a musician.

It was the best of sketch; it was a sketch we wouldn't revisit in 2026. This episode features two legendary guest appearances: Aimee Man and Sarah McLachlan, who appear in a wrap-around sketch inspired by a real-life story. Plus, what does it mean to sell out? How many times can you repurpose a prop in a single episode? And how bad was the food from the dinner scene really? Join Fred and Carrie as they revisit the best and worst of...
Meet the mayor! Kyle MacLachlan makes his series debut in the episode originally intended to be the pilot. This episode features two cult-classic sketches: Put a Bird on It, which helped millennials decide how to decorate their first apartments, and Cacao, which gave rise to a vocal stim that many still use today.

Fred and Carrie are joined by their longtime friend and collaborator, Jonathan Krisel. The name may be unfamiliar, but the work speaks for itself. Krisel's credits include writing and directing SNL shorts with The Lonely Island, directing episodes of Tim and Erik, The Kroll Show, and Baskets. If Carrie and Fred are the Paul and John of Portlandia - the face and heart of the group- you can think of Jonathan as the George - the soulf...
The pilot of Portlandia wasn't always called Farm. Originally, it was an entirely different episode. A hilarious examination of the farm-to-table movement, the Dream of the 90s musical number, and the introduction of the feminist bookstore, Women and Women First, perfectly set the tone for the series to come. All of that and we haven't even mentioned Steve Buscemi yet! Join Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein as they reminisce about...
The dream of podcasting is alive in 2026. It's been 15 years since the cult classic comedy series Portlandia introduced the world to the 90's time capsule filled with wacky characters that outlined the unique neighborhoods that make up the city. Now Carrie and Fred are back, reliving all the weirdness.
To begin, they're starting with all the events that led up to the launch of Portlandia, including Carrie's toast at Fred's wedding,...

Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
