Nikki Glaser is no stranger to broadcasting. The comedian and host of The Nikki Glaser Podcast, a new show from Will Ferrell’s and iHeartMedia’s Big Money Players Network that launches on March 22, has seen podcasts from every angle, and hosted Comedy Central Radio’s morning show on Sirius XM for over two years. As she tells Paste while talking about her new show, “I’ve got to be getting close to putting in some Malcolm Gladwell numbers in terms of becoming an expert at radio. I hope to become one in doing a daily show.”
A daily radio show is definitely a quick route to 10,000 hours. Show business itself can be a grind, but that’s never truer than with radio, a format built on cranking out work every single day. And despite the distribution model and the name of the program, a daily radio show is how Glaser envisions The Nikki Glaser Podcast. Specifically, it’s her variation on the traditional morning drive show, only without music, and without a bloated three-hour runtime. Expect a daily hour-long show starring Glaser and her co-host, stand-up opener, best friend and roommate Andrew Collin, and which has regularly scheduled segments throughout the week.
The casual nature of radio is a major reason Glaser admires the format. As she tells Paste, “I just wanted to make a podcast that was daily and kind of felt like something you could just pop into any day and not feel like that you had to catch up. Like a daily radio morning show but one where I can cuss on air and say what I really want to and not have to play music.”
Expect a podcast that filters that “morning zoo” mentality through Glaser’s personal approach to comedy, along with the kind of candid discussions about her life that her stand-up is known for. “I can do it from my apartment so it’s going to feel very personal, but at the same time we’re going to cover current events, we’re going to keep people updated on what everyone’s talking about, and have celebrity guests,” Glaser says. “I can’t not talk about my personal life—it’s almost a problem, to be honest. I will definitely use the show as a daily peek into my life and to talk things out. I’ve kind of cut back on therapy so this will be that.”
As part of that casual, morning drive vibe, Glaser plans to avoid both the shaggy, rambling nature of comedy podcasts, as well as the call-back heavy insularity the medium can default to. “I’m really cognizant of not making it a comedy podcast where you’ll feel the need to listen to the whole thing,” she says. “It’ll fly by. I really want it to be fast paced, and I’m very adamant that I don’t want these podcast completionists listening to this show. You might not catch every episode, and I don’t want you feeling like you can’t catch up. People can join at any time.”
