NEW YORK, September 16, 2025  – Lauded actor and social media darling Kyle MacLachlan launches What Are We Even Doing?, a weekly podcast in collaboration with iHeartRadio’s Elvis Duran Podcast Network. MacLachlan sits down with Millennial and Gen Z actors, musicians, artists and creators to share stories about the entertainment industry past, present and future. While conversations flow in unpredictable directions, each show ends the same way – with a special game tailored to each guest. The debut guest on Sept. 18 is Kaia Gerber, model, actress, and co-founder of the book club, Library Science. Other upcoming guests include Dylan O’Brien, Benito Skinner, Grace Kuhlenschmidt, Julian Shapiro-Barnum, Willa Bennett, Caleb Hearon, Alana O’Herlihy and Holmes.

“I’ve always been pretty quiet about my creative process - it’s not exactly the kind of thing actors sit around swapping notes on between takes,” says MacLachlan. “But I’ve gotten curious. So I thought, why not start talking with the next generation of actors, musicians, and creators to hear how they do it - and maybe finally figure out what ‘chopped’ means while I’m at it. I’m thrilled I got to dream this up with my creative team at Full Picture, and even more excited to launch it with the Elvis Duran Podcast Network and iHeartRadio. If anyone can help a 66-year-old actor keep up with Gen Z, it’s them.”

Duran comments, “Now we know why he can master any role as an amazing actor! Kyle MacLachlan is the perfect mix of authentic and unexpected – exactly what we love at the Podcast Network. What Are We Even Doing? is going to be a wild, smart and totally fun ride.”

What Are We Even Doing? is created and executive produced by Full Picture Productions, the production arm of Full Picture, a creative agency founded by Desiree Gruber, who is also married to MacLachlan.

Gruber comments, “I couldn’t be more excited about Kyle diving headfirst into decoding today’s culture with his trademark wit. Honestly, I’m just relieved it might finally help me understand our 17-year-old over breakfast. Bring on the tea — I’ve got my mug ready.”

Anne Walls Gordon, chief creative officer at Full Picture Productions and executive producer adds, “I’ve been lucky to collaborate with Kyle for over 15 years - dating back to a 2006 YouTube series about his and Desiree’s dogs (the dawn of internet time). Since then, from producing hit true crime podcast Varnamtown last year to helping unleash his social presence, I’ve seen him connect with audiences across generations - especially Gen Z - with a mix of whimsy, warmth, and heart. Partnering with Elvis Duran’s team at iHeart to channel that energy into podcast form has been a thrill, and we’re excited to share our weird and wacky show with the world.”

New episodes of What Are We Even Doing? launch every Thursday on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
