In the Know—the new, partially animated comedy series from the minds of Zach Woods, Brandon Gardner, and Mike Judge—is hardly the first TV show to take aim at public radio. Think of Pawnee Community Radio on Parks and Recreation, or the iconic Saturday Night Live “Schweddy Balls” sketch, or the send-up of Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me on You’re the Worst. This newest addition to the bunch, though, is all public radio parody, and with stop motion animation to boot, so we’re extra excited.
Peacock will welcome In the Know to its comedic flock on January 25. The show follows the fairly self-centered host of In the Know, NPR’s third most popular broadcaster Lauren Caspian (Zach Woods of Silicon Valley fame), as well as the studio’s kooky cast of characters: take-no-shit researcher Fabian (Caitlin Reilly), college intern and general bro-at-large Chase (Charlie Bushnell), co-executive producer Barb (J. Cameron Smith, hopefully bringing that same Succession iciness), sound engineer Carl (Carl Tart), and oddball cultural critic Sandy (Judge).
