Premiering July 16, the series features the iconic duo as they reflect on eight seasons of adventures with the Mayor, wacky show characters, brunch and more

Special guests include Kyle MacLachlan, Aimee Mann, “Portlandia” director and co-creator Jonathan Krisel and more

NEW YORK – JULY 9, 2026 – iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players (BMP) today announced the launch of “Podlandia: A-O Rewatch,” a new “Portlandia” recap podcast hosted by comedian, writer, producer and musician Fred Armisen and writer, director and musician Carrie Brownstein.

During special visits from the Mayor (Kyle MacLachlan) and other beloved Portlandians, including Aimee Mann and “Portlandia” director and co-creator Jonathan Krisel, the hosts will recount the struggles, joys and surprises of each episode.

“Our hope with the ‘Portlandia’ rewatch podcast is to continue the conversations we began when the show first aired. 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,” said Carrie Brownstein, co-host of “Podlandia.” 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.” 

“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,” said Fred Armisen, co-host of “Podlandia.”

“Fred and Carrie are such an iconic duo, and we’re excited to bring them back together again for ‘Podlandia: A-O Rewatch'," said Will Pearson, President of iHeartPodcasts.
