"Read everything Julie Klausner writes and listen to everything Julie Klausner says. She is hilarious, wise and smarter than you. I adore her."
--Amy Poehler

How Was Your Week was recently named one of the best comedy podcasts by the New York Times, Rolling Stone & GQ, and Julie Klausner has been called "hilarious and insightful"" by USA Today, one of the Internet's funniest writers by Salon, "The BFF you wish you had" by gURL.com, and "One of the comedians who could follow Conan on TBS" by the Huffington Post.

Past HWYW guests include Amy Poehler, Rickie Lee Jones, Patton Oswalt, Sally Kellerman, Simon Doonan, Joan Rivers, Kristen Johnston, Sarah Silverman, Ira Glass, Sandra Bernhard and many more.

Comedian Julie Klausner's podcast is like disdainfully flipping through US Weekly with your funniest friend.
--GQ Magazine

"A winning combo of Klausner's personal musings and hilarious interviews with pop culture luminaries."
--BUST

"Her ability to blend high/low culture with her personal life and not come off as insufferably self-indulgent is to be marveled; plus, she's so goddamn funny and honest."
--Stark Magazine

"It is a tribute to Julie Klausner's wit and charm that the wandering first 15 minutes of this week's podcast are pretty much just as funny as the subsequent interview."
--The Onion AV Club

"Better than any other podcaster, Julie finds uncommon podcast guests... or interviews the more common guest in a way they never have been before."

Hello! This episode’s How Was Your Week is wonderful. First of all, PATTON OSWALT, one of our favorite guests and friends, is back! This is always a treat. This week, Patton is here to discuss his Webbys hosting gig and how Internet Commenters have evolved from standard trolldom into conversational tangent-bringers, the importance of being comfortable with silences, and then—BAM! BOOM!—discusses two great Robin Williams movies at length: THE BIRDCAGE and WORLD’S GREATEST DAD. Then, RETTA, who plays Donna on Parks & Recreation and is a hilarious standup, is here to talk to Julie about sexting, GIRLS, 9/11, French Guys, and why we are both worried about Ellis not returning to SMASH. Also! Julie takes a trip to the Genius Bar and survives to tell the tale, her cat explores the “Say it with Urine” style of communication that is so very popular in that particular community, Anthony Bourdain says some crazy shit, Becky Ann Baker is awarded a well-deserved honor, and library water fountains are reconsidered in the bottled water age.

Thanks for bearing with me as I change Tumblr overnight into “Your Dashboard full of pets next to Julie Klausner things,” but I am realizing I have an archive of these treasures in my inbox that I haven’t posted since Smiley passed, and publishing these is giving me a lot of joy. 
This is “Spike the Elderly Pomeranian” listening to HWYW. Dexter Beasley from Colorado sent me this photo and I’m awfully glad he did.
