Seth Rogen announces new 'Storytime' podcast, shares trailer

"Hi, there. Welcome to 'Storytime with Seth Rogen,'" the 39-year-old says in the two-minute Stitcher trailer, available for listening here. "Where every week I ask someone I know, 'Do you have a great story? And if you do, will you tell it on my podcast?' That's it. That's the concept."

The audio teaser features spliced sound bites from guests such as Paul Rudd, Ava DuVernay and David Crosby.

"Just so you know, this is a heavily edited podcast," Rogen adds. "There's music and there's score and there's effects and all this s—t. It kind of turns into an audio documentary, almost."

Rogen became a New York Times bestseller with his debut book "Yearbook," a memoir made up of extremely funny and vulnerable (and unbelievably true) essays, in May. The Vancouver native also launched his cannabis company Houseplant in the United States in March.

Storytime will premiere Oct. 6.
