With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus: where the guest is the host. Take a seat with Lauren as she passes off her hosting duties to a new funny friend every week. Lauren is always the guest, as an original character--or one her host holds secret until they've announced her. You never know who will show up. It's the host's show, Lauren's just along for the ride.

Why listen

With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus flips the interview-show format inside out: a comedian guest becomes the host, while Lauren Lapkus appears as a surprise original character. Each episode plays like an improvised fake podcast, with absurd premises, quick character work, and recurring advice segments that reward fans of alt-comedy and chaotic roleplay.
