Overview
- Poehler accepted the award from Snoop Dogg, whose presentation was briefly censored on the live broadcast before uncensored clips confirmed his ad-libbed remark.
- In her speech Poehler saluted the medium and joked about NPR before stressing her show’s goal of adding love and laughter to a rough world.
- Good Hang launched in March 2025 and is produced by Paper Kite Productions with Spotify’s The Ringer, featuring frequent high-profile guests.
- The six nominees were Good Hang, Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard, Call Her Daddy, SmartLess, The Mel Robbins Podcast, and NPR’s Up First.
- Nominees came from a 25-program eligibility list based on Luminate metrics, a process that left out high-listenership and polarizing shows such as The Joe Rogan Experience and podcasts hosted by conservative figures; Poehler also edged ex-husband Will Arnett’s SmartLess after he had suggested she might win.
