All hail Amy Poehler, queen of podcasting goodness
Mashable 101: The creators shaping the internet in 2026

Amy Poehler is that fun, easygoing friend who's somehow good at everything she does. With the launch of the Good Hang podcast, the 54-year-old Parks and Recreation star has quickly amassed a devoted audience that continues to climb.
After releasing the first episode in March of 2025, Good Hang has racked up 709,000 subscribers on YouTube, 2 million on Instagram, and 757,300 on TikTok. Plus, it won the inaugural award for Best Podcast at the Golden Globes.
The format of each 60(ish)-minute episode is pretty straightforward: Poehler has a sit-down chat in a question-and-answer style that's at once engaging and delightful. But the power of its success lies with Poehler herself. She is so enjoyable to watch (or listen to, depending on where you get your podcasts) and clearly loves learning about what lights people up.
In its first 52 weeks on the internet, the podcast has featured a parade of convivial, high-profile guests, including Michelle Obama, Ryan Coogler, and Gwyneth Paltrow, plus a steady stable of Poehler’s former co-stars and collaborators.
The Saturday Night Live alum is effervescent in her role as host, giggling with friends about past projects, exploring the power of female friendships, and celebrating other creators and entertainers across a wide range of genres.
For anyone who's missed having a weekly dose of this comedy queen, Good Hang hits all the right spots.
