Earlier this year, Poehler expressed her thoughts on podcasting at a conference, stating,

“I would argue that podcasts have replaced a lot of television in terms of the feeling of having a lot of people you know be in your space. We used to watch TV and visit the characters we like, and I think we do that now with podcasts. We want to check in and see how someone is doing.”
