Viral Comedian Matt Buechele Launching Podcast ‘That Sounds Like a Lot,’ About Culture, Politics and the ‘Increasingly Strange Rhythms of Modern Life’

Matt Buechele‘s new podcast “That Sounds Like a Lot” might have music. It might veer into absurdity. But he promises it will always deliver laughs.

Buechele’s weekly video podcast, produced by Vox Media and creator studio AND Media, will premiere Friday, May 1, featuring an interview with comedian Zach Zimmerman. Guests on upcoming episodes will feature Celine Song, Jay Jurden, Alexandria Love and Chloé Cooper Jones. “That Sounds Like a Lot” will be available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other major podcast platforms, with new episodes releasing every Friday.

Buechele, a comedian, writer and composer, posts satirical videos about culture, politics, masculinity and the internet. To date, he’s garnered nearly 1 million followers and more than 200 million views across platforms.

Each episode of “That Sounds Like a Lot” will start off with one of Buechele’s walk-and-talk monologues, unpacking the stories shaping culture, politics and “the increasingly strange rhythms of modern life,” according to the producers. The show then segues into a thoughtful (and funny) conversation with a guest about what actually deserves attention, what’s wildly overhyped and what we’re getting wrong. (Watch the trailer below.)

“I’m very excited to be partnering with Vox and AND Media on ‘That Sounds Like a Lot,'” Buchele said in a statement. “It’s amazing how much easier it is to be funny when you can do it sitting down in a chair instead of roaming the streets of New York.”

Buechele’s work has been featured on Comedy Central, Netflix and the New York Times. He previously was a writer on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” He also releases music under the artist name Booshell. Buechele is repped by CAA.

“Matt has the uncanny ability to notice and precisely describe the things that shape our lives every day,” said Lillian Xu, VP of podcasts at Vox Media. “His sharp and specific takes have made him the voice so many turn to for processing everything from the crazy to the mundane.”

“Everything we do starts with a creator’s unique voice, and Matt already has a compelling way of engaging his audience around the topics they care most about,” AND Media CEO Christian Tom said. “This series is about giving Matt’s established voice more room to grow through longer-form storytelling, interviews, and new creative formats. Vox Media’s proven track record of building deeply engaged audiences and creating culturally resonant content across platforms make it the ideal partner for this series.”

“That Sounds Like a Lot” is executive produced by Michael Grant Terry and Rebecca Eisenberg of Port Royale (“SmartLess”), alongside Rob Holysz (“Armchair Expert”), Natalie Holysz and Jeph Porter of Rabbit Grin Productions (“The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast,” “Anna Faris Is Unqualified” and “Flightless Bird”).

Vox Media’s slate of podcasts includes “Pivot” (hosted by Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway), “A Touch More” (hosted by Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe), “Waveform: The MKBHD Podcast” (hosted by YouTuber and tech reviewer Marques Brownlee), and “The Downside With Gianmarco Soresi” (hosted by comedian Gianmarco Soresi and actor Russell Daniels).

AND Media (which stands for “Another Normal Day”) recently announced its spring lineup, which includes the creation of comedy series “Human Trials” led by Mark Normand; relaunches of Kareem Rahma’s “Keep the Meter Running” and A.J. Daulerio’s “The Small Bow Podcast” as video-first series; the expansion of Hunter Prosper’s “Stories From a Stranger” to YouTube; and a partnership with “The Moment Live” to grow its audience across platforms.
