Our Editor's Take

What do celebrities discuss before going live on air? What conversations unfold at the bar after recording a talk show? The Club Random podcast explores this idea in a world free from American politics. This show is the place where American A-listers say what they like and drink what they want.

With HBO television host Bill Maher, Club Random breaks the celebrity-reality divide. Maher holds deep conversations with a broad list of celebrities in a classic one-on-one fashion. In Maher's own words, Club Random is for real conversations. Guests are free to discuss whatever they wish in this safe space, free from the political spin and divisiveness. Listeners can expect it all during Club Random, whether it's music, gossip, romance, or movies.

The podcast has seen celebrity lineups from actors to musicians to sports icons. Guests include actors Bella Thorne and William Shatner, musicians Sammy Hagar and Killer Mike, and TV hosts Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel. Maher has also hosted the likes of Quentin Tarantino, Judd Apatow, Adam Carolla, and Howie Mandel.

Listeners can learn acting tips as Maher tears down the challenge of acting with Lisa Kudrow. What do celebrities talk about when they're just hanging out together? What do famous people think of their reality in the 21st century? Audiences enjoy Bill Maher reaching past guests' celebrity image to find authentic discussions.
