Listen on Apple Spotify YouTube
Hi, I'm Dax Shepard, and I love talking to people. I am endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and I find people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings to be incredibly sexy. I invite you to join me as I explore other people's stories. More than a decade of sobriety, a degree in Anthropology, and four years of improv training. I will attempt to discover human 'truths' without any laboratory work, clinical trials, or data collection. I will be, in the great tradition of 16th-century scientists, an Armchair Expert.MORE Producer/Network Armchair Umbrella
