What's Our Podcast? with Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney
Release Date: December 23, 2025
Host: Headgum
Guest: Finn Wolfhard

Overview

In this episode, Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney, former SNL cast members and creators of "What's Our Podcast?", are joined by actor, musician, and director Finn Wolfhard. The central theme is building a website for their podcast using Squarespace, with Finn helping guide their process. True to the show’s improvisational and meandering style, the hosts blend sincere conversation, offbeat humor, and wild tangents, as they collectively brainstorm what their ideal podcast website should look like — limos, pickles, fart videos, and all.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Generational Internet Nostalgia

• Beck and Kyle reminisce about their early internet experiences: AOL, old-school hip-hop forums, and the heyday of quirky websites (Ebaum's World, Zanga, MySpace).

• Younger producers (Rochelle and Anya) share their memories of platforms like Zanga and LiveJournal, with nods to the music and internet culture of the 2000s.

  "I remember when I first got online, we had AOL and I was really into — there was like a kids-only section..."
  — Kyle (10:43)

  "Zanga, what is Zanga?"
  — Beck (10:08)

• Generational Bridge: The show often highlights the difference between the hosts' millennial nostalgia and Finn's Gen Z sensibility, with Finn comfortably riffing on both.

2. The Importance (and Absurdity) of a Podcast Website

• Discussion about why, in today’s internet, having a website is crucial for brand and creative consolidation—beyond just social media.

• Playful riffs about the website's possible “functions,” including:

  • Selling live show tickets
  • Serving as a “limo school”
  • Promoting fart videos
  • Showcasing “home base” credibility

  "The website is like a home base. You got your Instagram, sure, but the website ties it together."
  — Beck (11:32)

  "Maybe if we really work hard, we could build a website no one has seen before."
  — Kyle (13:38)

• Joking laments about aging in internet years and hoping their website might help them “catch up.”

3. Setting up the Site: Live Brainstorming with Finn Wolfhard

• Finn joins and the trio amicably argues over themes, colors, and content, with Finn proposing unexpectedly funny or “cursed” ideas (limo school, humanoid wolf images, SoundCloud widgets).

• Building the site becomes a comedic exercise, with distractions and riffs about font choices, limos, pickles, widgets, and the concept of “slopping out.”

  "We're sort of an older generation... We need someone like Finn who knows what young people are up to these days."
  — Kyle (29:35)

  "What if it was a limousine school, like... teaching people how to drive limousines?"
  — Finn (37:22)

• Old Website Names: Good Neighbor Stuff confusion; the hosts joke their old comedy group’s website caused branding confusion for years. [23:32]
