Kelly Corrigan Wonders

Amy Schumer is as sharp a writer as she is a performer. I love her always-on-point work in Life & Beth, Trainwreck and all 44 episodes of Inside Amy Schumer. She’s honest in way I wish more people were and you’ll hear that in this candid conversation about her mother, Sandra. (Previously aired)

Ed Helms has a well-organized workshop, a banjo, a treehouse he built during the pandemic, and a deeply inconvenient habit of doing his best work at the last possible second. In the first episode of our new series Wired to Create, Kelly sits down with the actor, comedian, musician, and all-around maker to talk about what flow actually feels like, why limitations might be the secret ingredient in all great creative work, and what Owen Wilson taught him about feedback and being vulnerable.

For those who have listened to this podcast and are curious: the correct, traditional term used is nunchaku (Japanese: ヌンチャク), but in English, nunchucks is the most common accepted spelling and pronunciation, often pluralized as "set of nunchucks". ( Merriam-Webster)

As part of our Women of Consequence series, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jane Perlez writes a letter honoring a woman she watched from a distance as a child — a writer who sat on a balcony overlooking a river, filling up legal pads in a curvy scroll, and showed a young girl what one person could accomplish when they refused to be defined by others. Some influences arrive early and never leave.

Over the past month, Kelly sat down with five women who are quietly — and not so quietly — changing the world: an entrepreneur, an Olympic champion, a philanthropist, a governor, and a film/television producer. What she found wasn't a set of tidy leadership lessons or a checklist for getting things done. It was something harder to name and more useful to carry — a pattern of thinking that shows up again and again in the people who actually move things forward. This Go To is Kelly's attempt to distill what she learned across all five conversations into a handful of truths worth keeping. Not theory. Not empty inspiration. Just the real stuff, from women who have been in the room and know what it takes to make change happen.

Reese Witherspoon has built an empire by betting on one simple truth: when you put women in charge of telling stories, you uncover whole themes that get missed when men are calling the shots—and it turns out to be wildly entertaining. In this fifth and final episode of our Women of Consequence series, Kelly sits down with the actress, producer, and founder of the media company Hello Sunshine, to talk about why she developed the Wild screenplay outside the studio system, what happens when women control the buying power, and why her ultimate goal is to make a lot of women a lot of money.
