Yes Please
“Listeners know they’re getting something special, unique, and a bit absurd right from the start when Poehler claims to be narrating from her own personal audio booth, built at the base of Mount Rushmore. Poehler sounds consistently warm, funny, and genuine, and it’s only a matter of time before she’ll have you laughing out loud. When she’s joined in ‘her’ studio by Seth Meyers and Mike Schur to reminisce about Saturday Night Live and Parks and Recreation” it sounds like we’re overhearing candid conversations between friends. Cameos from Carol Burnett, Kathleen Turner, Patrick Stewart, and even Amy’s parents add even more flavor. What a treat. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
