Amy Poehlerhas a new podcast, and she promises it’s not out to teach listeners anything but the importance of a good laugh.

On Monday, Feb. 10, theSaturday Night Livealumna appeared on theTodayshow where she revealed toSavannah Guthriethat she’ll be launching her interview-based podcastGood Hang with Amy Poehlerin March.

“I checked and I’m officially the last person to not have a podcast, so I figured I’d jump in,” teased Poehler.

“These are tough times, we’re just trying to have a good laugh,” she added. “I think sometimes we ask women to be teachers and healers. I’m looking for some good dumb fun.”

That got Guthrie’s sign-off. “Listen, I’m here for that. No gurus! Please, I don’t want to learn anything,” she joked. “I would like to leave dumber. Can you promise me that?”

“I want to just start getting worse,” Poehler laughed.

According to a release,Good Hang"will offer a hilarious mix of comedy, personal stories and not-too-serious conversations with esteemed guests." Poehler will check in with famous faces about “what makes them laugh, what they found funny recently and much more. She’ll also talk to the people in her life about what makes her laugh and to solicit questions for podcast guests.”

“We are really excited,” Poehler said onToday. “We’re going to have a lot of our friends there. It’s going to be very fun.”

“I love the format, I listen to a ton of shows, so I’m excited to just get started,” she continued.

In addition to being available on all podcast platforms, videos from the show will also be released.
