Host Andy Richter asks the same three questions to each guest: Where do you come from? Where are you going? What have you learned? These three simple questions, when answered honestly and thoughtfully, are enough to provide a pretty complete picture of who a person is. The answers are what Andy always wants to know about people. This will not be a one-sided process, as Andy won’t shy away from getting personal himself.

    Hear Andy Play Benedict Arnold!

    Calling all history buffs! “Significant Others” with Liza Powel O’Brien is a scripted history podcast that tells a story you might not know about a person you probably do. Season 2 just launched, and the season premiere explores how Benedict Arnold might never have turned on his country were it not for his wife, Peggy, who influenced his betrayal. And guess who plays Benedict Arnold? This guy! (Andy)

    Listen to this snippet to whet your appetite, then head on over to “Significant Others” to hear the rest. This season you’ll also learn how Amelia Earhart would neither have found fame nor, possibly, disappeared over the Pacific, had it not been for her husband, George Putnam. Plus: who is really to blame for Friedrich Nietzsche’s connection to Nazism. Listen and subscribe to “Significant Others” wherever you get your podcasts.

Andy's idiosyncracies ..

.. really lend themselves to this type of format. Dependant upon the guest, the conversation gets real, talking about things they don't necessarily talk about in other interviews.

Obviously not every guest is gonna be up for real talk, or even real talk with Andy, cuz all they want to do is promote their thing.. but that is on the guest, and not Andy. Even in those instances Andy asks great questions to keep it moving

Film school!

Did you know Andy went to film school? That’s the secret 4th question.

A good show but …

I love Andy… He’s got a great way of making these standard bio interviews more engagement with vulnerably sharing his stories along with the interviewees. But, at times his interjections and interruptions are insufferable. The episode with Moshe Kasher is Andy at his worst! He won’t stop with “yeah” “sure” while his interviewee is talking and while Moshe is sharing super interesting stories, Andy is cutting off his sentences and destroying the kicker of all his stories… like when Moshe was talking about his dad planning to paint again when he retired, and just as Moshe was drops that his dad died before he could get his 30 year old paintings out of this storage, Andy interrupts to ask a new question. Jesus, Andy! Just bc Moshe is telling a story about his orthodox background doesn’t mean it’s time for Andy to interrupt by describing the first Jewish ppl he met in elementary school, smdh.
Please let the guests finish their sentences, Andy!
