Conan O?Brien Needs A Friend

Conan O?Brien Needs A Friend

After 25 years at the Late Night desk, Conan realized that the only people at his holiday party are the men and women who work for him. Over the years and despite thousands of interviews, Conan has never made a real and lasting friendship with any of his celebrity guests. So, he started a podcast to do just that. Deeper, unboundedly playful, and free from FCC regulations, Conan O?Brien Needs a Friend is a weekly opportunity for Conan to hang out with the people he enjoys most and perhaps find some real friendship along the way.

Significant Others: A Sneak Peek at the Woman Behind Benedict Arnold?s Betrayal

It?s been said that history is written by the person at the typewriter. But who did the person who made history depend on? Often, it?s impossible to find out. But once in a while, we get lucky, and the story was not only recorded, it?s really good. Well that?s what this podcast is all about. ?Significant Others? is a show that tells a story you might not know about a person you probably do. For example, in this episode we explore how Benedict Arnold might never have turned on his country were it not for his wife, Peggy, who influenced his betrayal. Head over to ?Significant Others? to listen to the rest of the episode and listen to other stories like how Amelia Earhart would neither have found fame nor, possibly, disappeared over the Pacific, had it not been for her husband, George Putnam. Or learn who is really to blame for Friedrich Nietzsche?s connection to Nazism. Listen and subscribe to ?Significant Others? wherever you get your podcasts.
