PodcastOne, the nation's largest advertiser-supported podcast network, debuts All of the Above with Norman Lear today, featuring Emmy Award-winner Amy Poehler as the guest. The pair, who had just celebrated the Passover holiday together at Poehler's home, discussed religious history and its effect on human kind, Amy's recent pilot with Carol Burnett and how Burnett inspired her high school musical performance in Once Upon a Mattress, and the differing points of views across generations. Lear's co-host and actor Paul Hipp led them all in a couple of songs, a concept that grew from Norman and Paul's weekly late-night music sessions with a group of gentlemen in Lear's backyard. The episode is available now on PodcastOne.com, the PodcastOne app and Apple Podcasts.

In the episode, discussion about Trump led to a rendition of These Are the Days, sung by Poehler in THE VOICE of All in the Family's Edith Bunker, a story about Amy's son demonstrated societal progress in open mindedness and acceptance, which led to an interesting drawing by Norman, and conversation about technology included the changes in expectation of privacy.
