celebrity interview podcast promises access. Very few get anyone to say something true. These ten made the list because each has a mechanic that breaks the script. A mystery guest. A deck of cards. A stranger calling in with a real problem. A host who has seen the entire filmography. I picked the shows where the famous person forgets they came to promote something. Formats run from loose comedy hangs to an NPR card game to interviews taped live on stage. The best interview podcasts with celebrities are the ones built to get past the press answer.

Good Hang is her weekly interview show, made with The Ringer. It earns a place here for one habit nobody else on this list has. Before the main conversation, Poehler speaks to someone who knows the guest, and their answers shape her questions. Christopher Nolan turned up that way ahead of her hour with Matt Damon. The first episodes went to Tina Fey and Martin Short. Mindy Kaling and Fred Armisen have since had their turn. Start here if you want big names sounding like people.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Amy Poehler opens with small talk and stays there for most of the hour. Whatever the guest came on to promote surfaces near the end, briefly. If you want a focused, on-topic conversation, that will frustrate you. What you get instead is the loose, funny material a scripted interview never reaches. The show is not trying to improve you or advise you, and it says so. Put it on for a commute or a long drive. Come to Good Hang for warmth and comic timing. Go to <a href=\"#happy-sad-confused\">Happy Sad Confused<\/a> in section ten when you want the work talked about seriously.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"mp-iframe-wrap\">\n        <iframe height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" title=\"Good Hang with Amy Poehler player\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/good-hang-with-amy-poehler\/id1795483480?itscg=30200&itsct=mp_blog&ls=1&theme=auto\" id=\"embedPlayer-good-hang-with-amy-poehler\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; clipboard-write\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0;border-radius:12px;width:100%;height:450px;\"><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <!-- ===== SHOW 2: smartless ===== -->\n    <section>\n      <h2 class=\"mp-h2\" id=\"smartless\">2. <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/smartless\/id1521578868\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SmartLess<\/a>: the guest is a secret until the tape rolls<\/h2>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Two of the three hosts have no idea who is walking in. Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett take turns booking a mystery guest. The reveal happens on tape, so the surprise you hear is real. That single rule is why the show made this list. Emma Thompson, Amy Adams and Bowen Yang have all walked into it. The hosts are famous peers rather than journalists, so guests loosen up fast. It is the closest thing to overhearing a green room. Nobody is working through a list of prepared questions. Listen for the moment a guest realises what has happened.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Every episode drifts somewhere nobody planned, which is the format doing its job. The banter between three old friends can crowd the guest out entirely. That is the cost of a show built on chemistry rather than curiosity. In return you get an hour where a serious actor finally laughs at themselves. Listen when you want warmth and easy company, not revelations. If you want the guest pressed on something real, <a href=\"#wild-card-with-rachel-martin\">Wild Card<\/a> in section seven does that far better. SmartLess and Good Hang are cousins, and you will probably love both or neither. Play it when you want company.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"mp-iframe-wrap\">\n        <iframe height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" title=\"SmartLess player\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/smartless\/id1521578868?itscg=30200&itsct=mp_blog&ls=1&theme=auto\" id=\"embedPlayer-smartless\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; clipboard-write\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0;border-radius:12px;width:100%;height:450px;\"><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <!-- ===== SHOW 3: conan-obrien-needs-a-friend ===== -->\n    <section>\n      <h2 class=\"mp-h2\" id=\"conan-obrien-needs-a-friend\">3. <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/conan-obrien-needs-a-friend\/id1438054347\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend<\/a>: the crew argues back<\/h2>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Conan O'Brien built this show out of a complaint about himself. Decades of late night gave him thousands of famous interviews and no lasting friendships. His long-time assistant Sona Movsesian and producer Matt Gourley sit in and refuse to behave. They interrupt him, contradict him and run their own segments. The guest is joining a family mid argument. Andrew Scott, Eric Andre and Josh Groban have all taken the seat recently. No other celebrity interview podcast turns the staff into co stars, and that is why it is here. New episodes land weekly, and the chemistry never resets. Guests walk into a house that is already mid row.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">The closing chat and the fan calls are why regulars keep coming back. Those bits wander far from whichever guest just left the room. Comedians thrive here, because there is space to build a joke without anyone hurrying them. A dramatic actor with a heavy film can sound stranded in all that noise. The looseness is the appeal, so treat the wandering as the point. Put it on when you want to laugh rather than learn something. If you want a famous person taken seriously, <a href=\"#armchair-expert-with-dax-shepard\">Armchair Expert<\/a> in section four is the better hour. This is the funniest room on the list.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"mp-iframe-wrap\">\n        <iframe height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" title=\"Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend player\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/conan-obrien-needs-a-friend\/id1438054347?itscg=30200&itsct=mp_blog&ls=1&theme=auto\" id=\"embedPlayer-conan-obrien-needs-a-friend\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; clipboard-write\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0;border-radius:12px;width:100%;height:450px;\"><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <!-- ===== SHOW 4: armchair-expert-with-dax-shepard ===== -->\n    <section>\n      <h2 class=\"mp-h2\" id=\"armchair-expert-with-dax-shepard\">4. <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/armchair-expert-with-dax-shepard\/id1345682353\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard<\/a>: two hour confessions, then a fact check<\/h2>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Dax Shepard tells you what is wrong with him first, then asks the guest to match it. Armchair Expert is a long interview podcast built on that exchange. Episodes typically run around two hours, and sobriety, money and shame arrive early. Monica Padman co hosts, then closes each episode with a fact check. The two of them go back over what was said in the room and correct it. No other celebrity podcast on this list audits itself like that. Kristen Bell was the first guest, back in 2018. Barack Obama, Edward Norton and Olivia Wilde have since sat down.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Listeners stay for the fact check, which works as a second show inside the first. The intimacy is relentless, and the length is a genuine commitment. If you want a quick listen, this is the wrong feed entirely. Sit with it and you get the most candid celebrity interview archive anywhere. Save it for a long walk or a drive, not a spare twenty minutes. Come here when you want the whole life story rather than the anecdote. Someone who charms their way through <a href=\"#good-hang-with-amy-poehler\">Good Hang<\/a> in section one has nowhere to hide here. Bring patience and you get everything.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"mp-iframe-wrap\">\n        <iframe height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" title=\"Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard player\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/armchair-expert-with-dax-shepard\/id1345682353?itscg=30200&itsct=mp_blog&ls=1&theme=auto\" id=\"embedPlayer-armchair-expert-with-dax-shepard\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; clipboard-write\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0;border-radius:12px;width:100%;height:450px;\"><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <!-- ===== SHOW 5: lets-talk-off-camera-with-kelly-ripa ===== -->\n    <section>\n      <h2 class=\"mp-h2\" id=\"lets-talk-off-camera-with-kelly-ripa\">5. <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/lets-talk-off-camera-with-kelly-ripa\/id1676166337\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa<\/a>: what daytime stars say off air<\/h2>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Kelly Ripa spent decades interviewing people in short television segments. The good material always arrived once the cameras stopped. The Kelly Ripa podcast is her attempt to keep that hour and record it. Let's Talk Off Camera runs weekly, and she books people she has known for years. Goldie Hawn, Susan Lucci and her husband Mark Consuelos have all sat down. Other celebrity podcasts chase whoever is new this month. Ripa trades on familiarity, and the show bills itself as unfiltered and often unhinged. Some conversations run so long they split across two episodes. She lets them run, and that is the point.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">The payoff is the moment a guest says something they clearly planned to keep quiet. The world here is daytime, soaps and Bravo, and it never pretends otherwise. If those names mean nothing to you, the hour will feel like a stranger's dinner party. If they do, no host on this list is warmer or better connected. Ripa wants her guests to look good, and they repay her with candour. Listen when you want gossip that comes from friendship rather than pressure. For a harder conversation, <a href=\"#call-her-daddy\">Call Her Daddy<\/a> in section six goes places Ripa never would. This is gossip with real affection in it.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"mp-iframe-wrap\">\n        <iframe height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" title=\"Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa player\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/lets-talk-off-camera-with-kelly-ripa\/id1676166337?itscg=30200&itsct=mp_blog&ls=1&theme=auto\" id=\"embedPlayer-lets-talk-off-camera-with-kelly-ripa\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; clipboard-write\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0;border-radius:12px;width:100%;height:450px;\"><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <!-- ===== SHOW 6: call-her-daddy ===== -->\n    <section>\n      <h2 class=\"mp-h2\" id=\"call-her-daddy\">6. <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/call-her-daddy\/id1418960261\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Call Her Daddy<\/a>: is this the biggest celebrity interview podcast?<\/h2>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Alex Cooper turned a raunchy college era show into the confessional interview slot every celebrity now visits. Call Her Daddy began in 2018 with a co host, and Cooper has run it alone since 2020. It moved from Barstool to Spotify, then to SiriusXM in a deal reported at 125 million dollars. Michelle Obama sat down in January 2026 to discuss her book. Kamala Harris did an interview during the 2024 campaign. It is on this list because no other show gets famous women talking this openly. The tone stays warm, direct and unbothered by publicists. Episodes are short, sharp and endlessly quotable.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">People come for the mix of gossip, sex and career candour aimed at young women. Critics argue Cooper goes easy on guests, and the questions rarely turn hostile. If you want an interrogation, you will not find one here. What you get is a famous woman relaxed enough to tell you something she has never said. That is why one episode regularly becomes a week of headlines. Save it for when you want the real story behind a headline you already saw. <a href=\"#las-culturistas\">Las Culturistas<\/a> in section eight covers the same culture with far more jokes. Listen here for the answers nobody else got.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"mp-iframe-wrap\">\n        <iframe height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" title=\"Call Her Daddy player\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/call-her-daddy\/id1418960261?itscg=30200&itsct=mp_blog&ls=1&theme=auto\" id=\"embedPlayer-call-her-daddy\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; clipboard-write\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0;border-radius:12px;width:100%;height:450px;\"><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <!-- ===== SHOW 7: wild-card-with-rachel-martin ===== -->\n    <section>\n      <h2 class=\"mp-h2\" id=\"wild-card-with-rachel-martin\">7. <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/wild-card-with-rachel-martin\/id1742968315\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wild Card with Rachel Martin<\/a>: a deck of cards asks the questions<\/h2>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">A deck of cards asks the questions here, not the host. Rachel Martin left NPR's Morning Edition to build an interview game show. Guests pull cards about regret, joy, belief and death, then have to answer. She launched it in 2024, and The New York Times named it one of that year's ten best podcasts. Bowen Yang and George Saunders have both played. Nobody can prepare, because nobody knows which card is coming next. That mechanic is the single best reason this show is on the list. It is quietly disarming to listen to. Half an hour, and almost no small talk.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Episodes run near half an hour, which makes it the easiest listen here. There is almost no room for promotion, so the guest talks about their actual life. If you want film gossip or industry news, you will not find any. What you get is a famous person thinking out loud without a safety net. Play it on a walk when you want something warm and a little sad. Wild Card is the show to send someone who says celebrity interviews are shallow. It quietly proves the opposite in under thirty minutes. It is the calmest listen here, and that is a compliment.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"mp-iframe-wrap\">\n        <iframe height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" title=\"Wild Card with Rachel Martin player\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/wild-card-with-rachel-martin\/id1742968315?itscg=30200&itsct=mp_blog&ls=1&theme=auto\" id=\"embedPlayer-wild-card-with-rachel-martin\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; clipboard-write\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0;border-radius:12px;width:100%;height:450px;\"><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <!-- ===== SHOW 8: las-culturistas ===== -->\n    <section>\n      <h2 class=\"mp-h2\" id=\"las-culturistas\">8. <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/las-culturistas-with-matt-rogers-and-bowen-yang\/id1092361338\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Las Culturistas<\/a>: rants, rankings and pop culture rules<\/h2>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang launched this in March 2016, and it has run weekly ever since. The show is a pop culture roundtable, and the guest arrives as a third friend. Michelle Obama, Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga and Nicole Kidman have all played along. Two segments define it. There is I Don't Think So, Honey, where they rant about a cultural trend. And there is the opening question: what is the culture that made you say culture was for you? Being famous is not enough to survive either of them. A guest who can hold a rant does well. Taste and speed are the entry fee.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Longtime listeners stay for the rules of culture and the annual Las Culturistas Culture Awards, which now air on Bravo. Both are built from years of in jokes, and newcomers will feel it. Start with a recent episode featuring someone you love, then work backwards. Once the shorthand clicks, no show on this list is funnier or faster. That closed world is exactly what makes the loyalty so strong. Put it on when you want pop culture gossip with real taste behind it. For the same names in a calmer room, try <a href=\"#good-hang-with-amy-poehler\">Good Hang<\/a> in section one. Bring your own opinions and enjoy the noise.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"mp-iframe-wrap\">\n        <iframe height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" title=\"Las Culturistas player\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/las-culturistas-with-matt-rogers-and-bowen-yang\/id1092361338?itscg=30200&itsct=mp_blog&ls=1&theme=auto\" id=\"embedPlayer-las-culturistas\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" allow=\"autoplay *; encrypted-media *; clipboard-write\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:0;border-radius:12px;width:100%;height:450px;\"><\/iframe>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <!-- ===== SHOW 9: anna-faris-is-unqualified ===== -->\n    <section>\n      <h2 class=\"mp-h2\" id=\"anna-faris-is-unqualified\">9. <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/anna-faris-is-unqualified\/id1059045374\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Anna Faris Is Unqualified<\/a>: strangers call, stars give advice<\/h2>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">Anna Faris invented the format that half the internet later copied. The Anna Faris Is Unqualified podcast pairs a celebrity interview with calls from listeners. A stranger rings in with a real relationship mess, and the star has to answer. Ed Helms, Alison Brie and Matthew McConaughey have all fielded those calls. The tagline says it plainly: relationship advice from completely unqualified Hollywood types. It is on this list because nobody can hide behind a press answer while a caller is falling apart. The advice is often terrible and always honest. The calls are real, and that is what makes it worth an hour.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">The call ins are the reason people come back, and they are frequently very funny. The feed has been leaning heavily on flashback episodes. Treat it as a back catalogue rather than a weekly habit. That is a genuine catch, and the upside is hundreds of hours already waiting. Start anywhere with a guest you like and let it run. Listen when you want famous people being unguarded about their own marriages. If you want a current weekly show with similar warmth, <a href=\"#good-hang-with-amy-poehler\">Good Hang<\/a> in section one is the closest thing.

Happy Sad Confused is a weekly career interview show, and he does the reading. He asks about the flop, the recast and the part they lost. Kate Winslet, Daniel Radcliffe and Millie Bobby Brown have all sat with him. Many episodes are taped live in front of an audience at the 92nd Street Y in New York. A press obligation becomes an event, and actors keep coming back for a second visit. Nobody else here interviews film people with that much homework. Repeat visits are normal, which tells you enough.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"mp-p\">The deep cuts are the draw, especially the questions nobody else thinks to ask. If you do not follow film or prestige television closely, much of it will pass you by. That narrow focus is exactly what makes the conversations so detailed. Fans of a specific actor should search the archive before anything else. Listen when you want craft talked about seriously by the people who make the work. Come here for depth, and go to <a href=\"#smartless\">SmartLess<\/a> in section two when you just want company. The live tapings are the best way in. Search for a favourite actor and start there.

The gap between a stranger's questions and a friend's questions will tell you which kind of listener you are. Chase the format, not the famous name.
