Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein have confirmed that they’ll be releasing a Portlandia rewatch podcast entitled Podlandia: A-O Rewatch. Produced by Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players, the show will debut its first episode (with one episode arriving each week) on July 16 on YouTube and other DSPs. Over the course of the series, Armisen and Brownstein will be joined by the show’s regulars, including director Jonathan Krisel and cast members such as Kyle MacLachlan and Aimee Mann.
“Our hope with the Portlandia rewatch podcast is to continue the conversations we began when the show first aired,” Brownstein shared. “Conversations around community, how a place shapes and defines us, how much of life is mere performance, and how absurdity is often the best way to make sense of the world. Revisiting these episodes also reminded me of the ways Fred is singularly hilarious; we loved getting to hang out and reminisce, sing the praises of the cast, crew, and the city itself, and to have a new means of connecting with our audience.”
Added Armisen: “Re-watching these Portlandia episodes was so enjoyable. I really laughed, which is a strange thing to say about something I’m in. Carrie made me laugh a lot, maybe I’ll put it that way. It was all illuminating and it sparked so many memories of shooting in beautiful Portland. Then, getting to sit with Carrie and talk about it all was another level of fun and connection. I’m so happy we have gotten a chance to do this.”
